Explain different techniques to perform state management in web applications Security in Web/Ecommerce application AJAX and other comparable Web 2.0 technologies Web Services and Service oriented architecture Manage web architecture for development and deployment of applications Understand and explain other comparable Web Development technologies.

RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOK
It is very difficult to find a book that covers all related technologies in a concise manner. A number of tutorials, reading materials are available in the Internet. Students will be expected to search and refer these materials as and when required. Students have to follow the class very carefully to get the content of the course. Students need to attend the class, take sufficient notes from the class and FOLLOW AT LEAST ONE BOOK ON THE RELATED TOPICS. A student new in programming has to learn the Java language on his/her own. The core concentration of this course is not the Java language but the Groovy language and Grail framework. Students can follow any book on the topics covered in the class. However I recommend following book. Author Judd, Christopher (Christopher M.) Title Beginning Groovy and Grails: from novice to professional / Christopher M. Judd, Joseph Faisal Nusairat, and James Shingler. Electronic version of the book is available from the NUS library http://linc.nus.edu.sg/record=b2689300 Some more electronic books available on the same subject at NUS library are as follows : Author Abdul-Jawad, Bashar. Title Groovy and Grails recipes [electronic resource] / Bashar Abdul-Jawad. Imprint Berkeley, Calif. : Apress ; New York, N.Y. : Distributed to the book trade worldwide by Springer-Verlag New York, c2009. Electronic version of the book is available from the NUS library http://linc.nus.edu.sg/record=b2787215 Author Rocher, Graeme Keith. Title The definitive guide to Grails [electronic resource] / Graeme Rocher and Jeff Brown. Imprint Berkeley, Calif. : Apress, c2009.

ASSIGNMENTS
Individual Assignments (20%) Homework assignments are designed to hone fundamental technology skills. You will submit the assignments electronically by the specified due dates. You may consult your peers to complete the assignment; however you are expected to do it on your own. Please pay attention to due dates. Assignments will NOT be accepted late.

Group Project (20%) You have to form your own group to complete this group project. Each group can have either 4 or 5 members. In the group project you have to develop a fully functional dynamic web site in Groovy Grail. However, if you want you can request the instructor to do the development of the web site in other platforms that you are familiar with such as Visual Studio. Instructor keeps the right to approve a particular technology based on its applicability in the context of the module. Students are encouraged to select their own group project based on their interest. Each group project should have at least 10-12 dynamic web pages. The group project will be evaluated based on complexity of the project, number of components in the project, use of technologies, completeness and accuracy of each component. At the end of the group project, each member of the group would evaluate others in the group based on few dimensions such as contribution, cooperation, availability. This peer evaluation will be used for grading the group project. Each member of a group will be individually evaluated based on this input. Students have to submit all documentation, code and database related to group project in a CD/DVD. Each group also needs to deploy the web application in a virtual machine freely available at SoC and enable web proxy to make it accessible from internet.
