Purpose: This course will explore various programming paradigms that are used when building web applications. Emphasis will be given on reusing existing components/libraries rather than building systems from scratch. This course will cover Perl, PHP, and JavaScript. Time-permitting, we will cover AJAX and Ruby. The goal of the course is to expose students to a spectrum of web programming paradigms through lectures and hands-on project experience.
Prereq: A grade of C or better in CS 0445 is required (or permission of the instructor). Working knowledge of Java and familiarity with Unix are assumed.
