Goals


Developing a successful multi-tier web application involves client-side programming, server-side programming, and back-end programming. This class introduces various software technologies commonly used in each tier:

We will also discuss security, localization (L10N), internationalization (I18N), and search engine optimization (SEO). With so many software technologies, this class can provide only introductions and guidance — you will need to explore each technology further on your own.

Students will work in small project teams. Each team will develop a major web application of its choosing incrementally throughout the semester.
