305CDE 320CT Module Plan 2014
Module Plan
305CDE/320CT
Introduction
Web Services now provide key functionality to both developers and endusers and are the driving force behind the explosion in online social media.
This module equips students with the knowledge and skills to design and build their own web service APIs and integrate them with others to build complex ‘mashups’ that deliver exciting enduser experiences. As part of this process they will also build a web client to demonstrate the web service functionality.
This module builds on the level 2 module “Developing the modern web 1” (205CDE) which covers datadriven, though mostly static web sites. Here, students are expected to develop the knowledge and skills to allow them to develop a complete web service API in the style of facebook, twitter or flickr
Clientside execution of code and modern backend frameworks are investigated and used to develop web sites that dynamically incorporate data from various sources, allow user generated content and/or are based on useruser interaction.
