Aim:
To enable learners to understand the concepts of web applications and apply the skills to develop
and test web applications using server-side technologies.
The internet has emerged as a dominating area of IT development. The ever-expanding applications within the global community that communicates, trades and exchanges information (seamlessly) has meant that the Internet and its associated technologies is a rapidly growing and changing area that requires in-depth knowledge as well as a wide range of skills. These web technologies have also been used to develop e-Commerce, intranet, extranet and social networking systems to meet the needs of modern businesses and associations.
Learners should already be familiar with website design and management, and will be able to
apply their own web development skills to this unit. Learners will enjoy extending their webdevelopment skills by understanding the concepts of web-based applications using server-side technologies. This unit takes client-side web-development one step further by introducing serverside application development. This unit focuses on server-side technologies and how server-side scripting can be used to create sophisticated web-based applications.
Learners will understand the concepts of web-based applications using one or more different server-side scripting languages, such as ASP, JSP and PHP. Many web-based systems also include database systems, which enables data to be processed dynamically. Learners will gain experience of developing web-enabled database systems, using SQL statements combined with server-side scripts to manage the process of information.
Learners will develop skills in specific techniques and also able to select when and where they are most appropriate, basing this decision on client and user needs. They will also ensure that their applications comply with the relevant legislation and guidelines.
