CS6251: Web Technologies I

An introduction to enterprise, organizational, programming, and system issues in building and maintaining a modern website with emphasis on use of professional grade website development systems; programming in markup and scripting languages; creation, access, and maintenance of networked databases; and use of multimedia authorware.

This semester we will be studying the popular open source LAMP platform, which combines Linux, Apache's http server, the MySQL database engine, and the PHP Web application development language. This platform provides an excellent base for developing Web applications as it combines a small hardware footprint with simple yet robust development technologies. No prior experience with any of these systems is necessary. My aim for the course is for students to leave with the ability to set up a web server, including the hardware and associated software, and interactive Web applications for a small enterprise such as a local business.
