Unit Description

Modern Web applications are complex software systems that require sophisticated development tools and best practices of software engineering. Design of web services or electronic commerce applications need to take into account issues such as scalability, reliability, and security. This unit studies the programming tools and software engineering practices involved in complex web applications. COMP591 is based on the undergraduate unit COMP391 with additional load consisting of extra questions on assignments and examinations and candidates for COMP591 will be expected to show a greater level of understanding of the unit material than that required for COMP391. Students who complete COMP391 are not permitted to enrol for COMP591.
