Description

Web Applications Development equips the student with the skills needed to build and deploy object orientated applications for the web.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Implement a web application using a modern web application framework.

2.

Explain the term web application architecture and compare the different options.

3.

Apply design principles and patterns to Web Applications developed using an OO programming
language

4.

Develop and deploy a web application using appropriate processes and tools

5.

Implement and consume a  web service. 

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This is a practical programming subject and students will be writing code throughout the module. On-line lectures will be used to explain the concepts and techniques used to write web applications. A combination of live demonstrations and videos will demonstrate how to apply the programming skills using appropriate development tools. The main project will run throughout the semester and have a number of deliveries. This is to allow students time to understand the problem, to apply the programming techniques learnt and to understand how code evolves over time.

Module Assessment Strategies

100% continuous assessment - individual project and class assessment.

A number of quizzes will be used to access students throughout the semester. These will provide feedback to both the lecturer and students.

There will be a 40% open book programming exam mid semester to ensure that students have the basic skills and knowledge. This will highlight any gaps.

The main project will be on going with a number of delivery dates. This allows students to fully engage with a problem. 

Repeat Assessments

Students who fail the project will be asked to resubmit and  to undertake and interview (e.g. via Skype) where appropriate.

ISBN 1979759952 ISBN-13 9781979759953

Want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Page Web Applications? Prerequisites: C# (Intermediate level; including Generics, Reflection and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)) HTML5/CSS3 (Basic knowledge) This book is primarily aimed at developers who want to learn how to build ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Page applications. You should be an intermediate level C# developer with some experience in HTML5 and CSS3. The C# language won't be explained in any detail. You will learn ASP.NET Core 2.0 by building three applications. The first application will be built using an empty template, the second with the MVC template, and the third with Razor Pages. The goal with the first basic application is to get you familiar with ASP.NET Core 2.0 by adding middleware and services one piece at a time. Then you will create a solution with three projects; the first project will be used to create a shared database with Entity Framework Core 2.0, the second project is a MVC application for the regular user interface, and the third project is an administrator user interface built with Razor Pages. This solution is a video course website, where users can register to gain access to video courses and administrators can add and modify course content and users. If you are already familiar with MVC 5 or ASP.NET Core 1.0/1.1, the content in this book can get you started with ASP.NET Core 2.0 in a fast, no-fluff way. It's important to mention that this book is practical and tactical, where you will learn as you progress through the modules and build real web applications in the process. To spare you countless pages of fluff (filler material), only valuable information, pertinent to the task at hand, is discussed. The benefit is a shorter and more condensed book, which will save you time and give you a more enjoyable experience. This experience is something you can put in your CV when applying for a job or a consultant position, or when negotiating a higher salary. Technologies, frameworks and languages you will use: Visual Studio 2017 ASP.NET Core 2.0 MVC and Razor Pages (new in ASP.NET 2.0) Services (To provide your own functionality as a reusable service) Middleware (To provide you own functionality to HTTP Request pipeline) Entity Framework (To crate and communicate with a database) View Component (To render data in the _Layout view with model data) Dependency Injection (To inject objects into constructors) Bootstrap (Used for styling and to create a responsive design) LINQ (To query the database) Tag Helper (to clean up the HTML and enable re-use) HTML Helper methods (to clean up your HTML and enable re-use) Partial views (to clean up your views and enable re-use) Bower and NuGet (To install necessary libraries) What you will implement: A web application from an empty template An MVC web application using a template An Razor Page web application using a template A data-layer project referenced from the MVC and Razor Page applications I hope you love the book!

Building Complete E-commerce/Shopping Cart Application Key Features Follow best practices and explore techniques such as clustering and caching to achieve a reactive, scalable web service Leverage the .NET Framework to quickly implement RESTful endpoints. Learn to implement a client library for a RESTful web service using ASP.NET Core. Book Description REST is an architectural style that tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web. APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST has become synonymous with APIs. The depth, breadth, and ease of use of ASP.NET Core makes it a breeze for developers to work with for building robust web APIs. This book takes you through the design of RESTful web services and leverages the ASP.NET Core framework to implement these services. This book begins by introducing you to the basics of the philosophy behind REST. You'll go through the steps of designing and implementing an enterprise-grade RESTful web service. This book takes a practical approach, that you can apply to your own circumstances. This book brings forth the power of the latest .NET Core release, working with MVC. Later, you will learn about the use of the framework to explore approaches to tackle resilience, security, and scalability concerns. You will explore the steps to improve the performance of your applications. You'll also learn techniques to deal with security in web APIs and discover how to implement unit and integration test strategies. By the end of the book, you will have a complete understanding of Building a client for RESTful web services, along with some scaling techniques. What you will learn Add basic authentication to your RESTful API Create a Carts Controller and Orders Controller to manage and process Orders Intercept HTTP requests and responses by building your own middleware Test service calls using Postman and Advanced REST Client Secure your data/application using annotations Who this book is for This book is intended for those who want to learn to build RESTful web services with the latest .NET Core Framework.
