Synopsis

The emphasis in this unit is on the software technologies and data formats used to implement e-Business Systems. Although this unit is entirely suitable for a future developer of e-Business Systems, it is optimally targeted at future managers of such development. Thus practical exercises will be illustrative rather than industrial strength and technology issues will be given equal coverage with technology details. The primary aim of the unit is to familiarise students with as many of the currently popular e-Business technologies as possible so that their design and implementation decisions in the future will be informed and therefore produce successful systems with a high degree of probability.

Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:

  • describe the major architecture, framework and technology options currently available to eBusiness solution developers (including SaaS, SOA and cloud computing);
  • use a range of current eBusiness technologies to design and develop non-trivial eBusiness solutions (technologies include: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Ajax, XML, XPath, XSLT, XML Schemas, DTDs, JSON, JQuery, MVP);
  • use the facilities of a popular, industrial-strength IDE to implement such eBusiness solutions.
