IT graduates are increasingly required to have some understanding of and an ability to produce web-based applications. This unit is designed to give students an understanding of the security issues and cross-platform dependencies involved in web-based programming through the design, production use of Java applets.

No changes proposed. Initial entry

Students completing 1434 should have Knowledge of

Comprehension of

Application of

Analysis of

Programming Applets for the web using the Java Programming Language, Object Oriented Programming concepts and techniques. The unit addresses:

The Java Tutorial: A Short Course on the Basics. 3rd edition. Boston: Addison-Wesley. This text is available in hard copy from the Monash University bookshops. It is also available free in machine-readable form from: http://www.confluent.fr/javadoc/javadoce.html.

On campus

Teaching of the unit is to be conducted through lectures, practical classes and an assignment.

Practical exercises are designed to reinforce the understanding of material covered in the the lectures. A major individual assignment is undertaken that is designed to demonstrates the students competence in Applet/Java programming, with an emphasis on problem solving and good software engineering practice.

Each student requires 2 hours per week in a supervised lab to complete the unit. Software requirements:

Linux Java 1.4.2 Mozilla Netscape 4.x An editor: vi(m), pico, nedit, emacs.

(other unix OS eg Solaris, are suitable if java support, browsers and editors

Occasional access to a windows machine and Internet Explorer would also be advantageous so dual boot machines would be preferable.
