Unit Overview
Students in this unit are introduced to the basic concepts needed for the development of html documents and client-side scripting for the World Wide Web.
This unit concentrates on the development of Web pages and specifically on the client side (browser) aspects of the server/client relationship between a web server and client browser.
Students are introduced to basic concepts necessary for the development of interactive documents for the World Wide Web. Effective use of XHTML, cascading style sheets (CSS) and Javascript to construct accessible, validated web pages will be emphasised in this subject such that the resultant documents will be viewable by the largest possible audience without the need for specific browsers or plugins. Emphasis is placed on separating content from presentation.
Server side issues are covered in depth in the unit CSE2WE: Web Engineering
Advanced XML topics are covered in CSE3WS: Web Services

Plagiarism Policy
Assignment submissions must be the student's own work, or the group's own work when submitting a group assignment. While it is acceptable (and indeed desirable) that students work together on tutorial problems and exercises, when it comes to an assessable task, such as an assignment, the student (or group) should work alone. Any assistance received must be suitably acknowledged in the text of the submission. Unacknowledged assistance is plagiarism, as is the copying of another's work, in part or whole. Evidence of plagiarism will generally result in a mark of zero for that item of assessment (for all concerned), and more severe penalties, through the University Discipline Regulations, for repeated offences. So that it is clear that students are aware of these provisions, all submissions must be accompanied by a signed statement of authorship, on the form available from the Faculty office. Assignments will not be accepted without the statement.
You need to be aware of the Univerity's policy on plagiarism.
