In this unit, students will get an overview of the many different technologies in use on the web, and how to use these technologies to good effect. They will learn web site design skills, including how to avoid common pitfalls such as platform dependence and security problems. In particular, they will develop web programming skills for building interactive web sites. Students will gain a sound understanding of the Java web platform, which will be of particular importance for students who will later do web related individual projects.
