Web Application Development I

1 CreditsBoth

Description

This module requires basic programming and coding skills as covered in COR-IS1704 Computational Thinking and Programming. If you lack this foundation, please reconsider enrolling in this course.Web applications are commonly used today by governments, enterprises, and even individuals to provide information, market products, etc. Ability to create web applications is thus a crucial skill for graduates in Information Systems. This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skill to develop well-styled database-driven web applications. In this course, students will learn how to build dynamic, data-driven web applications, focusing on backend development logic, database integration, and security features. The hands-on learning environment will provide learning opportunities to design and build their own interactive web pages. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to develop functional web applications and understand practices in backend development.
