About this Unit
There is a rapid growth in use of the web to provide information and to conduct various business activities. In order to benefit from the increasing usage, organisations have started to provide more and more information through the web and also to migrate more of its business activities to web based systems. This has required professionals who can design and develop large, complex, maintainable and evolutionary web systems. This unit provides technologies and standards, architecture, design methodologies, metrics for performance measurement, development processes and policies and guidelines required to develop such web systems.
