1. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course extends students’ knowledge of web development to server-side programming, database-driven applications, and full web application architecture. Students learn how to design and implement dynamic web applications that process user input, manage application state, interact with relational databases, and generate content dynamically.

The course emphasizes MVC-based architecture, secure coding practices, and structured development of scalable web applications.

2. COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

1. Explain the architecture of dynamic web applications using MVC principles

2. Develop server-side web applications using a primary backend technology (Node.js or PHP)

3. Integrate relational databases into web applications

4. Implement secure form handling and user authentication

5. Apply basic web security principles throughout application design

6. Deploy and test full-stack web applications

3. LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

• Design and implement MVC-based web applications

• Build server-side logic to handle HTTP requests and responses

• Implement CRUD operations connected to relational databases

• Apply sessions and cookies for state management

• Implement basic authentication systems

• Identify and mitigate common web vulnerabilities

• Deploy functional web applications to a hosting environment
