Web Technologies & Applications – Advanced

This course focuses on advanced topics of Web technologies aimed at developing complex and integrated systems on the Web. Course content aims to enable the students to learn techniques and technologies for server-side programming. Emphasis is placed on acquiring practical skills for developing integrated web-based applications that combine client & server-side technologies and interacting with databases, as well as on the development and set up of Web Services. Issues related to the use of Content Management Systems (CMS) are also discussed. Finally, the basic concepts of the Semantic Web, such as metadata, ontologies, inference logic, and rules, are introduced.
