The aim of this unit is to enable learners to understand the concepts of web applications and apply the skills to develop and test web applications using server-side technologies.
The internet has emerged as a dominating area of IT development. The ever-expanding applications within the global community that communicates, trades and exchanges information(seamlessly) has meant that the Internet and its associated technologies is a rapidly growing and changing area that requires in-depth knowledge as well as a wide range of skills.
Learners will understand the concepts of web-based applications using one or more different server-side scripting languages, such as ASP, JSP and PHP. Many web-based systems also include database systems, which enables data to be processed dynamically. Learners will gain
experience of developing web-enabled database systems, using SQL statements combined with server-side scripts to manage the process of information.
