A portfolio (100%) (Learning Outcomes 1-3) which consists of; a portfolio showing various examples of web programming, which will build up from simple to complex activities. Activities will be graded so that students know which ones to complete to pass and which ones are needed for higher grades.
A report to support the examples showing program design and testing of approximately 1500 words.

Procedural server side languages such as PHP
Introduction to web and databases
Web programming best practices
Program design
Program testing
Web servers

The module is taught over a two week period. The first week taking place in February and the second in June. Class contact within these two weeks will be 15 hours per week with classes being made up of 3 hour blocked lecture / lab sessions, which will support the underlying knowledge and skills required to complete the module. Group discussions will also take place in these sessions. Students will be encouraged to expand their knowledge in the area outside tutorial slots with supporting booklets, course texts, and the Internet.
