Course Description

Further Web Programming provides a range of enabling skills for independent development of small-scale industry standard web applications. These skills will equip you to be ready for commercial development and to meet the demand of small to medium sized organisations such as start-ups, small businesses, and other ventures. 

Emphasis is placed on the processes, tools and frameworks required to develop applications for current and emerging web platforms. 

In addition, you will learn industry level development methodologies as well as selected software engineering patterns such as Event Driven Programming. Through practical work, you will encounter a variety of real-world scenarios.
