CSE686 - Internet Programming

Internet Programming examines programming models on both client and server sides. A Web client is usually a browser, but may also be a custom application. Servers usually serve out web pages, but may also host web services, using a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) model. We will examine all these models and build code to implement them.

Eight laboratory exercises are required and completed during the second half of each class, under the supervision of the instructor and TA. A large final project is also required. In this project you will create a web site that serves web pages and provides web services. Your clients will be both browsers and custom applications.
