Advanced Web Applications: Design and Implementation

No class information available.

Description

Provides a comprehensive overview of current Web technologies including design and implementation principles for Web-based applications.  Introduces basic principles of scalability, security, reliability and performance and reviews the state of art of currently available technologies. Specifically, the course includes the HTTP and HTTP-NG protocols, MIME, application architectures (CGI, SSI, client-side and server-side applets, proxies, etc.), server and browser design, and payment and security. It also includes an overview of scripting languages such as Perl and an overview of the main features of Java.  Each student will design and
implement a personal Web site containing their classwork that may be used as a reference for their prospective employers.
