WEB DEVELOPMENT ON THE CLOUD
CSE2WDC
2016
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Creating web sites is quite easy, but creating web sites that scale to serve hundreds of millions of users with acceptable response times is a very challenging task. In this subject we will learn all the ideas and tools need to make scalable web sites. Central to the ability to scale a web site is the use of cloud computing. In this subject you will learn how to use the different cloud base services to build scalable web sites. The skills you will learn in this subject will be highly useful for finding a job in the web development industry. Specifically. the subject will cover such topics as fundamental cloud computing concepts, tools for automatic scaling of web sites, stateless web servers, web application programming, noSQL stores, continuous delivery, container technologies, model-view-controller, software architectural patterns, etc.
