Requisites
Pre-requisite: CSC2406
Other requisites
CSC2408
Rationale
While CSC2406 Web Technology 1 covers the skills required to develop web pages using client-side technologies, computing professionals working in the web publishing area additionally need skills in setting up and managing web sites and services on the server-side. This course will focus on those skills; including server side scripting and managing security aspects of web sites.
Synopsis
This course builds on CSC2406 Web Technology 1 and conveys the essential skills and knowledge required to create and maintain high quality web sites. The course will cover web server setup and management, as well as server-side programming of dynamically generated web sites. Course material may only be available via the web. While the course will use PHP as the programming language for server-side scripting, prior experience with it is not required. However, experience with programming in a high level language (e.g. Javascript or others) is essential. Basic is experience with using Linux/Unix is suggested.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students will have:
- apply core aspects of the technical foundations of the Web, including HTTP, to a web site;
- created dynamic and interactive web sites and applications;
- efficiently maintained and secured a web site.

To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must obtain at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course (i.e. the Primary Hurdle), and have satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), i.e. the end of semester examination by achieving at least 40% of the weighted marks available for that assessment item.
Supplementary assessment may be offered where a student has undertaken all of the required summative assessment items and has passed the Primary Hurdle but failed to satisfy the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised), or has satisfied the Secondary Hurdle (Supervised) but failed to achieve a passing Final Grade by 5% or less of the total weighted Marks.
To be awarded a passing grade for a supplementary assessment item (if applicable), a student must achieve at least 50% of the available marks for the supplementary assessment item as per the Assessment Procedure (point 4.4.2). -
Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative items for the course. -
