FIT2029 Web Programming is a level 2 core unit designed for both the majors (Applications Development and Networks major and Business Systems major) of the new Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems degree.

30/11/2017 - Unit disestablished at FEC 5/17 Item 7.3.

September 2012: Added FIT1040 as an alternative prerequisite to FIT1002 for 2013. Approved by CE (Gour Karmakar) via email 11/09/2012.

This unit has been updated as part of a 2009 review and comparison of data with current Handbook, Syllabus + and Callista data.

This is a core unit for Gippsland Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems (BITS) students. The unit is core for all students enrolled in both Applications Development and Networks and Business Systems majors of the BITS. It aims to provide students with: knowledge of mark-up languages and scripting languages, and skill in creating applications using these; an understanding of the basic mechanisms of client server architecture; a demonstration of the ability to develop Internet based applications; and a sound understanding of the fundamental principles of web service strategies.

This unit is similar to GCO2811 Commercial Programming, and builds on concepts taught in FIT1004 Database. It allows students to continue this study through to electives such as, FIT3011 Enterprise Programming. It also provides skills, which students may use in FIT3025 IT Project.

Programming for commercial applications has become heavily web oriented, therefore to ensure that students are able to meet industry needs when they graduate, they must be exposed to this content during their studies.

At the completion of this unit students will:

• have an understanding of the fundamental principles and breadth of commercial, e-business and e-commerce programming tasks;
• have experience in using their programming skills in a number of different environments such as Linux, Unix or Windows, while being aware that their fundamental programming approaches remain valid;
• have their understanding of and skills in top-down code development enhanced;
• have knowledge of mark-up languages and scripting languages, and skill in creating applications using these;
• understand the client-server paradigm;
• be able to develop and code solutions to typical web-based commercial programming problems using markup and scripting languages, in a client-server paradigm;
• further develop skills in creating suitable and thorough test harnesses;
• have a sound understanding of the fundamental principles of web service strategies.
• be aware of basic security issues when developing and hosting Internet-based applications.

020103

Introduction to the principles of commercial e-commerce programming tasks. The unit explores the purposes and approaches in using scripting and markup languages in relation to the client-server paradigm. The role of both server-side and client-side code are examined. The unit will also build upon student's previous study of database systems. Students will study the use of markup and scripting programming languages to connect to databases via a network.
