E-COMMERCE, IOT AND MOBILE SYSTEMS (8 SCU)

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: describe and use programming languages in a Web-oriented environment; apply data exchanges between Web pages; evaluate and use the data persistence in a Web-oriented environment; develop a Web application using advanced techniques such as oriented object programming, regular expression and MVC pattern; explain and describe client-server architecture; implement packet transmission in an application, by using protocols from the transport and the Internet layers; use wearable technology and sensors in a mobile information system; and elicit user requirements and present the proposed solutions to a range of audience.

Topics:

This is an advanced course covering the creation of dynamic Web applications with programming languages, such as HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and PHP5. Various topics will discussed during this subject, like the basic techniques of these programming languages, the transmission of data between pages with or without forms, the use of a MySQL database with a PHP website, PHP oriented object, the MVC pattern and the regular expression language. This course also deals with the usage of wearable technology and sensors in mobile information systems. Using wearable devices and sensors, the students will learn how to exchange data with them. Distributed mobile applications and information systems (client-server architecture) will also take a part of this course, by using Java as a programming language. The protocols TCP IP and UDP will be introduced in order to have an application collecting data from sensors and wearable devices.

Pre-requisite(s):  Advanced Programming and Testing
