About the unit CITS3403 Agile Web Development (2nd semester 2023)
Unit description:
This unit explores technologies, programming languages and environments that underpin the development of modern web applications. It builds on students' previous programming and data management experience to develop and demonstrate technologies in action. Topics and techniques evolve from year to year to stay at the technological front-end of the rapidly changing web and internet fields. Examples include historical milestones of the internet and web; client/server models; internet protocols; document standards; development environments; client-side, server-side programming; n-tiered application architectures; database access and abstraction; and open-source tools.
Unit outcomes:
Students are able to (1) explain the key components that work together to enable the delivery of data and services on today's internet; (2) understand the technologies behind the terms and how they fit together, and back this up with examples of hands-on programming experience; (3) develop web applications using client side and server side technologies.; and (4) explain and apply agile project methodologies.
