Assignments There will generally be assignments that separately cover layout, client side interaction and server side scripting along with a final project that requires students to combine all of these concepts to make a fully functional website. Students should be exposed to 3rd party libraries so after they have been introduced to the different languages they are asked to write a howto guide involving the use of a 3rd party library or API that is related to web development.

Proposed course outcomes (3-5 outcomes)

• Outcome 1
• Outcome 2
• Outcome 3
