BS Web Application Development
Web development is a broad term for the work involved in developing a website for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among Web professionals, “Web development” usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building websites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex Web-based Internet applications, electronic businesses or social network services. The Web application development major, or degree program, integrates tools and technology needed to understand the language of Web design and development and how to take that knowledge into a professional career creating a variety of interactive Web content.
It is the ideal major for the student who is passionate about developing the ability to:
• Understand technology and how people interact with it;
• Design elegant Web-based solutions, engage users while exploring the science of efficient animated websites, Internet programming and utilizing multimedia interactive structure, development, and emerging philosophies;
• Learn about the creation of effective and efficient animated websites, Internet programming and utilizing multimedia elements for special effects;
• Begin entry-level work in areas like website design, online animation, Web interface design and Web programming;
• Gain skills in website creation, information architecture, use of graphics, navigation, and multimedia;
• Join the Internet explosion. The Web design minor is designed to give students a general understanding of website development and can be very useful to business, art and education majors who expect to be involved in Web development in their careers.
