Overview

The web is one of the most commonly used platforms for software applications. Web Engineering imparts basics about the construction of web presences: from simple static web sites to dynamic, distributed, database based multi-user applications.

Web application architecture, components and their interaction, e.g. the use of Server Pages, Web MVC, Single Page Apps and REST architectural style
Client technologies, e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server technologies including simple database access
Application of these technologies including validation and automated tests of the overall system from an engineering point of view
Design and implementation of web applications
