COMP249 : Web Technology
This is the home page for COMP249, Semester 1 2009. This page is publicly accessible and links to the unit outline and the unit pages on Moodle.
COMP249 covers a range of techniques and concepts that are relevant to implementing systems on the World Wide Web. From Web-site development using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and eXtensible Markup Language (XML), through to complete client-server applications, the unit explores the full spectrum of this technology, providing insight into the standards underlying the Web and the programming techniques used to exploit these standards to build Web applications.

The new final deadline for your portfolio is: Monday, 1st June 2009, 10am.
The new date for the checkpoint submission of your portfolio is now Monday, 4th May 2009, 10am.
I've extended the due date for the first (CSS Design) assignment until Monday 23rd March to allow you a little more time to polish off your submissions.
Remember that this assignment is worth 5% of the final marks for the unit so you shouldn't spend too many hours completing it. A good solid CSS stylesheet that shows off some interesting techniques should get you a good mark. Final marking will include a component based on peer review so you will get to say what you think of each other's work.
I came across a resource that you might find useful today: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/20-useful-css-tips-for-beginners/
