WEBD 220 - Internet and Web Architecture

In this course you will gain an understanding of the important underlying technologies that must be taken into consideration when implementing web applications. In this respect, the course is about web infrastructure including web servers, middleware, web protocols, and how these factors influence website design. We also examine relevant aspects of the architecture of the Internet and the technologies that support Web servers themselves, such as host operating systems, Web server software, security concerns, securing online transactions, server performance, and web services. Assignments combine case studies with hands-on web server administration.
