Aims

The course proposes to provide the student with knowledge of and insight into the rapidly evolving field of web technology by means of an overview of a number of relevant topics. At the end of this course, students will:

1. be able to describe and explain the design of the basic infrastructure of the web;
2. be able to describe and explain the design of basic components of the W3C semantic web stack;
3. be able to evaluate and identify relevant tools for the design and implementation of a non-trivial dynamic web application; and
