Java and Web Design (MI 0041)
Java and Web designing are two concepts that are in use today to create
dynamic and interactive Websites and Web applications which have
become an inevitable part of our lives since the advent of Internet. Java
refers to an object oriented programming language and Web designing
refers to the task of developing or designing Web pages.
This course begins with a brief introduction to the Web that helps you to

This course also deals with JavaScript that is used in the creation of
dynamic and interactive Web pages. It describes about event handlers and
to write simple JavaScript programs that can be embedded into a HTML
program. It also describes about various other open source scripting
languages such as Perl, PHP and Python. It assesses the difference
between script languages and programming languages. This course
analyses the concept of LAMP stack and also discuss about the tools that
requires to be installed to develop Web applications using LAMP stack. It
also describes about search engines and methods to get higher ranking for
our Websites on a search engine. It also discusses about various popular
Web design tools such as Photoshop, Flash, Firebug and HTML editors.

This course will help you to analyse the concept of Java and the difference
