Website Development

The main objective of this course is to present the basic technologies used for the construction of web sites and applications on the World Wide Web, whereas at a practical level, emphasis is put on learning the extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML) and its accompanying technologies, such as style sheets and client-side scripting languages. Special attention is paid to usability and accessibility issues, through the Design-for-All approach, as well as to Web standards. Designing, structural organisation and static web sites realisation are analysed. Moreover, other topics addressed include user needs analysis, designing and development of web sites infrastructure, with simultaneous reference to dynamic programming technologies.

Students should know the hyper text markup language (HTML) and layout and formatting commands using style sheets, and to be able to use this knowledge to develop websites. The course provides students with the opportunity to evaluate, using the above knowledge, websites.
