Course definition[1]

0This course would deal with the advanced techniques for constructing better, efficient and robust web apps. It would briefly touch upon the major concepts ranging from simple HTTP to advanced semantic web.

Stage 10 Introduction to Web applications and review of basic concepts: client-server

architecture, three- and n-tier models, static versus dynamic pages, server-database connectivity

0 Client-side technologies: HTTP protocol, HTML and related (CSS, JavaScript, etc.)

0 Using formal methods in the development of Web applications

0 The Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm

0 Web Services using RESTful

Stage 2

0 Introduction: Semi-structured data.

0 XSLT, a transformation language for XML documents

Stage 3

0 Introduction to the Semantic Web

0 RDF and RDF-Schema

0 Basics of knowledge representation and informal introduction to OWL
