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.
Materials Textbook information will be displayed approximately 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the teaching period. Please note that textbook requirements may vary from one teaching period to the next.
Disclaimer Unit information may be subject to change prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Assessment Assessment information will be published prior to commencement of the teaching period.
Learning Outcomes (LO) Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
  1. demonstrate an understanding of software engineering issues in web development;
  2. demonstrate a sound knowledge of some of the advanced tools and techniques in web applications development;
  3. design and develop web applications of some commercial relevance;
  4. acquire skills to research lesser understood topics in web technologies and prepare reports proposing strategies and solutions.
