This course focuses on the server-side implementation of a website. It provides an overview of what is required to build and maintain a website, including hosting, server administration, security, user interactivity and database integration. The students will implement a server, develop user and file security policies, design the server configuration, and understand the server interaction with search engines. Given a previously designed GUI, the students will develop scripting programs that implement the appropriate business logic and interpret the user’s input in order to access the database.
