In order build effective web sites the developer needs to comprehensively understand the complex behaviour of web clients and web servers and be able to apply a wide range of established technologies. The diversity of technologies that are brought together in developing web applications can be daunting to the student. This course provides an opportunity to gain confidence in web development through the practical implementation of a realistic database driven web application.
The focus of this course is biased towards appropriate use of technologies. As such this course is suitable for experienced web developers and students who are newcomers to web technologies.

Prospective employers often require that the student is able to tackle a non-standard problem, organise their work and present their conclusions both orally and in a written report. Similarly admissions tutors for Postgraduate courses and Research awards need to be reasonably certain that an applicant will be able to research a topic and write a corresponding thesis. This course is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to develop their ability to plan, organise and work independently on, a selected problem, drawing on and extending ideas encountered during the programme of study. The student is expected to critically evaluate the work of others and relate it to their own work where appropriate.
