Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

On completion of the course the students will be able to:

Knowledge and understanding

- display knowledge of the standards in HTML, XHTML, HTML5 and CSS
- demonstrate comprehension of the structure and functionalities in JavaScript and the Document Object Model
- demonstrate comprehension of how asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) enables the development of advanced web applications
- demonstrate comprehension of the limits in in web applications built with AJAX (e.g. regarding search engine optimisationand availability)

Skills and abilities

- demonstrate the ability to create HTML pages contaning images, tables, links, lists, etc. and applying CSS to change the pages’ graphical layout
- demonstrate the ability to construct HTML forms and to process the content from such forms with JavaScript and regular expressions
- demonstrate the ability to detect client side shortcomings (browser version, resolution, etc.) and to adopt the page content thereafter
- demonstrate the ability to implement asynchronous data access with AJAX
- demonstrate the ability to build web applications using comming JavaScript libraries (e.g. JQuery, Prototype, Dojo) and frameworks for HTML/CSS layouts (e.g. Blueprint, 960 GS, etc.)
- demonstrate the ability to implement web applications complying to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)

Judgement and approach

- demonstrate the ability to compare and evaluate web applications with respect to functionality, availability and compatability

The course aims to give students a solid introduction to web development on the client side. We will go through the concepts and techniques used to design static and dynamic Web pages, some common reusable frameworks/libraries for the Web, and provide an introduction to how AJAX can be used with a server-based interface to produce advanced web applications.

The course includes the following elements:
- XML & HTML
- Cascading Style Sheets
- HTML/CSS frameworks
- JavaScript
- Document Object Model
- AJAX
- JavaScript libraries
- HTML 5
