Overview

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.

This course builds on CSC2406 Web Technology 1 and requires students to demonstrate essential skills and knowledge required to create and maintain high quality web sites. Students will create, manage and secure web server setups, 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.

Course learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will have:

  1. Apply core aspects of the technical foundations of the Web, including HTTP, to a web site;
  2. Created and test dynamic and interactive web sites and applications;
  3. Organise the maintenance and security of a web site.
