One of the learning outcomes for this module is that you will become familiar with the various client- and server-side programming languages discussed in the module. For this reason it is vital that you attempt at least the programming exercises that will be given in the lectures. There are many more examples provided in the module text-books, and where appropriate, I will make these available to you as well.

We will mostly work through the solutions to these exercises during examples classes, and occasionally in the laboratory.

For the client-side programming examples (parts 1 and 2) you will need access only to a text editor and web browser. We recommend use of either Brackets or Sublime Text 2 as your text editor and Google Chrome as your browser. When we move on to examine server-side programming, you will need access to an Apache Web Server with CGI Perl, PHP and MySQL installed. These facilities are provided on the EG-259 Virtual Machine which is distributed via GitHub.
