This unit focuses on the design and development of Internet applications with a focus on web services technology. The unit presents an overview of multi-tier web applications and technologies that operate in different layers of typical web architectures. In particular, the unit will introduce the emergence of web services from middleware and Enterprise Architecture Integration (EAI), the fundamental concepts of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), web services and the key standards that underpin web services: SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. Various service discovery protocols will be evaluated and compared. This unit also teaches a range of web application development technologies focusing on state-of-the-art object oriented scripting languages for mobile and conventional web applications. The unit will provide students with skills to enable web page functionality through scripting, to program and deploy web services as well as to access and consume/use web services. It is assumed that all students have a strong knowledge of object-oriented programming.
10 hrs lectures/wk, 10 hrs laboratories/wk for 5 weeks
Student workload commitments are:
It is assumed that all students have a strong knowledge of object-oriented programming, e.g. Java, C# or C++.

Previous feedback has highlighted the value of using the ASP.NET MVC model for web application development, which was designed as a bonus component of Assignment 2. In this offer, developing an alternative web site using ASP.NET MVC will be a compulsory component of Assignment 2. However, concerned about the limited time availalble to students, this will be a group assignment formed by maximum two students for each group.
