Prerequisites
The course is offered at 1st semester [ ] 2nd semester [ ] summer [ ] The course is [] required [√] elective

Course Description:

The purpose of this course is to explore questions and issues surrounding technical choice: from the
performance of the client-server architecture of the World Wide Web, to the various technical standards
and recommendations for the creation and distribution of information. The course also covers issues
related to usability and accessibility, navigation, site structure, and information architecture. By the end
of the course, you should be a confident user of XHTML and CSS.

Course Objectives:

The course starts with an exploration of core protocols that underpin the basic client-server model of the
World Wide Web, leading to consideration of the various technical standards and recommendations that
determine the tools and techniques employed for the creation and deployment of digital information. The
course provides a thorough grounding in the use of XHTML elements and attributes for the creation of
static content and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) style rules to control presentation. The course also
examines the technical requirements for usability and accessibility and explores how different
presentational structures have evolved to meet the requirements of specific applications.

Scientific Contents:

1. XHTML

2. Client-server architecture

3. CSS style rules

WWW protocols
Course Outcomes:
