COMP9321 Web Application Engineering Semester 1, 2015 Dr. Moshe Chai Barukh Service Oriented Computing Group, CSE, UNSW Week 1 M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 1 / 25 E-Com Stream Overview COMP9321 is the first course in the three-part series of e-Commerce stream (COMP9321 → COMP9322 → COMP9323) COMP9321 - the basic infrastructure for building *not so trivial* web applications main objective is to be comfortable with the idea of building a single, fully functional web application yourself, from scratch COMP9322 - more advanced infrastructure for supporting business applications integration main objective is to learn how to make separate applications to work together as one (without building the integrated system from scratch) COMP9323 - project main objective is to practice what you learned in COMP9321 and COMP9322 by implementing sizeable projects M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 2 / 25 What Are You Going to Learn in COMP9321? the course title: Web Application Engineering Let us start with: Web and Application http://www.w3.org/2004/Talks/w3c10-HowItAllStarted Sir. Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the Web (still very active in semantic-web@w3.org) 1989, B-L proposes a global hypertext project called “World-Wide-Web” Universal “Readership” - anywhere, any machine, same document 1991, started with around 50 Web sites 1993, GUI-browser (Mosaic) Today, www.internetworldstats.com http://www.computerhistory.org/internet_history/full_size_images/berners-lee.jpg M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 3 / 25 Basic Web Architecture: Universal Readership ... M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 4 / 25 ”It’s software Jim, but not as we know it” Why are web apps different ? M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 5 / 25 What are we aiming for.. the course title: Web Application Engineering Now Engineering1 ... Building a Web site is easy enough: HTML and a Web server ... Building a Web application requires a greater degree of modeling, more sophisticated tools, and a well defined, repeatable process. Web Application Architecture: 1http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/it-booch web/ M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 6 / 25 The importance of Web Application Architecture2 Architecture as encompassing the set of significant decisions about the organization of a software system, including: Selection of the structural elements and their interfaces by which a system is composed Behavior as specified in collaborations among those elements Composition of these structural and behavioral elements into larger subsystems An architectural style that guides this organization A stable architecture is essential to every successful system: the creation of a stable architecture helps drive the highest risks out of the project, the presence of a stable architecture provides the basis upon which the system may be continuously evolved with minimal scrap and rework 2http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/library/it-booch web/ M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 7 / 25 Web Application Architecture: Layers Data Access Layer Business Logic Layer Presentation Logic Layer Presentation/GUI Data Storage End-User's System HTML/Forms, etc. Physically on the client's system (browser) Server-side programming producing HTML/XML and other content Server-side programming Business objects and rules, data manipulation/transformation Server-side programming Interface with DB, handles data IO Database/Storage M.

Do not email me personally about lab/assignment questions. All questions should be openly asked and answered via the Messageboard. M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 20 / 25 COMP9321 Supp Exam Policy Supplementary examination will only be granted when a student was not able to attend the final exam for reasons beyond the student’s control (eg., sickness), and submitted a special consideration at the Student Centre within three working days after the examination day. Note, however, if you attended the final exam, I will interpret that illness, misadventure or other circumstance beyond your control: has not affected your preparation for the final exam; has not affected you on the day of the exam and you will not be considered for supplementary assessment. In other words, if your preparational ability to sit the exam has been affected by your sickness, then do not attend the exam. M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 21 / 25 Other notes Programming - Java is the base language for this course. Assignments must be carried out in Java. We cannot help you with Java syntax. Laptop Usage - Laptop use is encouraged during lecture. But, please do not play games. It distracts your neighbours as well. Group assignments - You will get same mark for the group assignment irrespective of how the load was shared. If you have problems with the performance of your team mate, see me early. Lecture participation - Please try to attend all lectures and participate by asking questions and initiating discussions. Please check the messageboard regularly to keep up with the material explained in class and clarifications for assignment specs. M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 22 / 25 Course evaluation and feedback This course is evaluated through UNSW’s CATEI (Course And Teaching Evaluation and Improvement) system. CATEI is an electronic survey system and is carried out at the end of the session CATEI is anonymous. I will not know the authors of the comments. However, feel free to suggest improvements during the session informally (I really appreciate these) I’ll try to address these to the best of my ability M. C. Barukh, S. Venugopal (CSE, UNSW) COMP9321, 15s1 Week 1 23 / 25 Feedback from CATEI 14s2 Automarking of Assignment 1 will be improved. New and Improved Catch-up Lab Schedule. Assignment specs will be made more tighter. M. C. Barukh, S.
