ObjectivesThe course focuses on the design and creation of web and internet based software making use of the latest methods, techniques and tools. The professional internet software developer should be able to produce software that is robust, reliable and attractive to use, often co-operating with others as part of a development team. Web based software is used in a huge variety of situations, ranging from supporting commercial activities such as banking and e-commerce, through use in government and voluntary organisations, to software for educational and personal use.
