Java Web Programming

Java Web Programming provides an in depth look at web based development using the Java programming environment. The course is broken into three sections. The first provides a quick overview of the HTTP protocol and review of basic HTML. The purpose of this section is to provide an understanding of the foundational elements of basic HTML development. The goal is not to provide intimiate details of HTML, but to provide a basic background of HTML elements in order to create simple web pages.

The second part of the course focuses on the building blocks for developing a Java web application. The primary concern will be on understanding an using Servlets and Java Server pages to develop web based applications. The class concentrates on the core elements of each technology without delving into every nuance of the interface.

The final section takes the the foundational building blocks and combines them to develop a powerful web framework. One that is both robust and flexibile. It provides a tour of the important web design patterns and how they are applied to create a workable web framework.
