This course focuses on the phenomenon known as the World Wide Web (WWW or Web). Its focus is to
present many of the core technologies that the Web is based upon. Its main objective is to introduce the
students the main concepts of web technologies including: TCP/IP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, Email, Web
Servers etc., as well as client-side and server-side programming technologies. Moreover, the course has
been designed in a form it enables students to get an insight on practical applications of XML.
Coursework makes possible for students to choose a specific topic, and combine client (HTML, CSS,
JavaScript etc.) and server-side (PHP, C#, Java etc.) programming techniques to develop XML
Aims and Objectives
applications. As an alternative data model students will learn JSON data format. In addition the course
will also cover the following subsidiary topics:
• Web Services: WSDL, SOAP
• Web Security
• Related XML Technologies (XSLT, XPath)
• P2P and Bit Torrent
Finally, the Semantic Web vision and technologies will be also introduced.

At the end of the course students should be able:

• To configure a Web Domain.
• To install and configure a Web server.
Learning Outcomes • To compile a XML and JSON File
• To create simple applications implementing client and server-side programming
• To compile simple RDF and OWL documents
