ITC230 Introduction to Web Development (8)
Abstract| The World Wide Web is arguably the greatest leap forward in computing in the last two decades. Its greatest strengths are its virtual universality, accessibility and the on-demand transportation of information. How does this happen? Through theoretical study and practical exercises, students will investigate Web protocols, data markup, and approaches to information delivery via Web forms. |

- be able to explain the role of TCP/IP;
- be able to describe the purpose and functioning of Web protocols such as FTP, SSH, and HTTP;
- be familiar with techniques, standards and terms used for document preparation for network publishing;
- be aware of the need for quality control in the preparation of information and of methods used in automating quality control;
- be able to markup data using relevant standards including SGML, XML, XSL to highlight document structure, content and format (presentation);

SyllabusThe subject will cover the following topics:
- An overview of information processing and delivery on the World Wide Web;
- Web protocols ? Discussion of the various Web protocols and a detailed analysis of the way HTTP works in the sequence of events which occur between Web Browser and Web Server. The role of the various HTTP request types is examined;
- Data markup ? Preparation of data to enable the appropriate storage and manipulation of data and the online production and delivery of information;
- Information delivery ? An examination of the different approaches that can be taken in delivering information via the Web;
- Automation ? The process of implementing automatic delivery of information using low level scripts, and higher level online publishing systems or content management systems. |
