Objectives On completion of this subject, students will have an understanding of the issues involved with programming applications executable across distributed heterogenous networks like the World Wide Web. This understanding will be supplemented with practical skills in the Java programming language.

Synopsis This subject focuses on the theory and application of object-oriented programming techniques as implemented in the Java programming language and its ability to build GUI applications for the World Wide Web. Issues important to WWW programming such as security and client-server communication will be introduced. The importance of the object-oriented concepts of abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism will be emphasised with respect to developing graphical programming elements. A substantial case study will be developed to give experience with these issues.
