WEB PROGRAMMING

The examination will focus on three compulsory tests:
Written, Oral and Laboratory.
The laboratory test can be replaced with the presentation by the student of each exercise assigned to him. Failure to submit an activity will cancel all presentations made up to that time and make the laboratory test mandatory again.
Only after passing the two/three compulsory tests will it be possible to be assigned a project to be developed according to the topics addressed during the course and delivered within 30 days of the assignment. The project may be proposed by the student and may coincide with a project on another subject. The project must then be published in a PUBLIC manner on the official repository of the course (https://github.com/UniCT-WebDevelopment).

Knowledge of the TCP/IP network stack, general knowledge of relational and non-relational databases and object programming.

Propaedeuticity (for L-31):
