SWE 642 teaches some of the topics related to the exciting software development models that are used to support web and e-commerce applications. We will be studying the software design and development side of web applications, rather than the policy, business, or networking sides. An introductory level knowledge of HTML and Java is required. SWE 619 is a required prerequisite and SWE 632 is a good background course. The class will be very practical (how to build things) and require several programming assignments.
The course content will focus on client-side and server-side software design and development. We will learn technologies such as XHTML/HTML5, CSS3, JavaScripts, Ajax, jQuery; Web components of JEE platform: Servlets and JSPs, Integration of Servlets and JSPs: An implementation of Model View Controller (MVC) Architecture, MVC-based frameworks such as Apache Struts2, Tiles2 for uniform and consistent look and layout , JDBC, Java Persistence API (JPA 2.0), JSON/XML/XML Schema, and time permitting RESTful Web services
Programs will be graded on style and formatting as well as correctness.

George Mason's policy concerning student conduct applies. Although students are encouraged to discuss the topics covered in class, all homework assignments, exams, and projects are to be completed individually, unless joint work is explicitly authorized by the instructor. If joint work is authorized, all contributing students must be listed on the submission. Any deviation from this is considered an Honor Code violation, and, as a minimum, will result in failure of the submission and, as a maximum, failure of the class.
Please note that there are two honor code policies: an abstract GMU policy and a more specific departmental policy with regard to code plagiarism, test-taking, etc. The students can find them here: Honor Code Policies
Disabilities
If you are a student with a disability and you need academic accommodations, please see me and contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at 993-2474. All academic accommodations must be arranged through the DRC.
