Prerequisites: CS 100 or CS 113 or CS 115 or a course in a high-level programming language as approved by department. Core web technologies that underlie web-based multi-tier software architecture and applications are presented. Emphasis is on the latest versions of the languages of the web, and these are explored in a hands-on, guided development approach. The major topics include markup and styling languages such as HTML and CSS, client-side scripting languages such as JavaScript including the use of AJAX, server-side scripting languages using PHP, and database management via SQL. Web server concepts for hosting and deploying activities and projects are covered. The overall focus is on the out-of-the-box content of the various languages and technologies covered, but libraries will also be explored.
