| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide students with experience in designing, developing and testing dynamic web applications running on a modern full−stack deployment platform from the perspective of business-related requirements and implications for cost-benefit models and efficiencies. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Design an interactive web application as a solution to a given problem, purpose or business need. |
| 2 | Evaluate client−side and server−side technologies and their application to the design of interactive web applications with an eye toward efficiency and cost-benefit analysis. |
| 3 | Implement an interactive web application using a full−stack development approach. |
| 4 | Identify and explain the configuration of simple cloud based development stacks. |
| 5 | Evaluate the appropriateness of open source web technologies and frameworks for web application development in business environments. |
| 6 | Appraise the effectiveness and security of a full−stack web application for business implementation. |
| 7 | Test and evaluate the functionality of a full−stack web application for business implementation. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Key concepts of designing and developing interactive web application using a full stack approach. The module will review the latest technological trends used in modern web design and development including emerging development techniques and practices and their implications for business environments. This will lead to coverage of the development and deployment of an interactive web application including aspects such as front end design, client−side scripting, data capture, data storage for web applications and server−side processing. Approaches to testing the effectiveness, efficiency and security of web applications will also be introduced and explored within a business aspect. Standards and Best Practice Guides: ISO 20000, ISO 27001. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| This module uses the following delivery modes: Guided study (lectures, tutorials, and other learning materials delivered through VLE + bibliography), mentored practical work undertaken in the workplace, project work in the workplace including a design brief, personal study, group reflective sessions via VLE and at RGU Key concepts are introduced and illustrated through lectures (physical and virtual). Theory is put into practice in the workplace guided by a mentor. The understanding of students is tested and further enhanced through virtual interactive labs and tutorials. |
