100% staged portfolio assessing (Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4). The portfolio work focuses on the design and programming of a dynamic website using JSP/Java Beans and XML. Part of the portfolio is a 1,000 word technology report.

There will be a set of slides supported by example material with links to topical background reading.

The 3 hours contact time will typically include telephone and email support as necessary.

Portfolio items will allow students to gain hands-on experience of developing secure JSP-based client-server applications and tag libraries. Students will learn how to integrate Enterprise Java Beans into their JSP applications.

Student learning will be encouraged by access to local and remote on-line training material and by the provision of pointers to further independent reading/information in the subject area.
