There are no mandatory prerequisites.

Knowledge and understanding: Students must demonstrate to know the role, functioning, and integration issues of the key elements of a web application also considering concepts related to land management.

Applying knowledge and understanding: Students must demonstrate a deep understanding of the concepts and issues related to the web applications. They must demonstrate the capability of exploiting their knowledge and comprehension of the topics of the course to conduct a critical analysis of the application scenarios and to design and adopt the most suitable solutions.

Making judgments: Students will be able to design and document simple Web services based on RESTFul technology and OpenData, leveraging modern software and tools tailored to web development.

Communication skills: Students will be able to appropriately express base concepts and terminology of Web applications; they will be also able to describe and present a use case study of interest by explaining the design and solution strategy.

Learning skills: Students will be able to acquire basic concepts and principles of operation of modern web languages.
