The student should have the skills and knowledge to:

●       Build a dynamic web system based on own and publicly available program modules.

●       Create an application-programming interface for communication between web client and web server.

●       With broad expertise in the field of web technology, understand the context at system level, and apply knowledge in mathematics and science for specific issues. This is shown through presenting concepts for modern techniques for client-server communication, secure handling of user information and user interface design.

●       Have a good understanding of ethical problems related to handling of sensitive data related to individuals.

●       Model, simulate, predict and evaluate web systems, even with limited information. This is shown through laboratory work and own developed prototype, including preparatory work and analysis of results.

The course contains an introduction to various web related technologies for creating dynamic web systems for human-computer and computer-computer interaction. 

The course is conducted by students working in pairs in order to solve a number of lab assignments. The students are given freedom to choose what technologies they want to use in order to solve each assignment, and the chosen technologies are discussed during examination. Required knowledge needed is gathered via searches in literature and on the Internet. A number of lectures will be provided in order to introduce relevant technologies and current problems. Lab assignment work is documented through an online versioning system that is used continuously during the course.
