Web Architecture 253

Description: Understanding the web’s core technologies from user-facing (HTML, CSS) to underlying (TCP/IP). At the end of the course students will have an overview of what happens between typing an address in a browser and interacting with the web page. We’ll leverage industry accepted technologies to implement a simple web app.
Grading: Homework (30%), midterm (30%), project (40%).
