Web Development Technologies

The course provides an extensive examination of client and server side technologies used in developing web applications. On the client side, we learn how to create attractive and well-functioning web pages using
• XHTML,
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
• JavaScript, and jQuery.
The server side web development focuses on web development with
• Servlets,
• JavaServerPages (JSP),
• JSP Expression Language (EL) and JavaServer Pages Standard Template Library (JSTL),
• JavaServerFaces (JSF),
• Ajax with Servlets and jQuery.
Web applications, built with these technologies, access and interact with databases using Java Data Base Connectivity (JDBC).
