Goals

The goal of the course is studying/practicing ideas, methods and technology for building UI-s for web-based apps. We will focus on applications handling data, not marketing/information pages. Creating the actual app, database schema, security and authentication solutions etc etc are not in the scope of the course.

The three themes of the course (with roughly equal importance) are:

  • Nontechnical aspects of the UI design: usability, etc
  • Browser technologies: html, css, javascript
  • Server technologies: xml, xslt

We assume familiarity with html and basic server-side functionality: i.e. competence to create simple web apps.

Labs

There will be two labs with the kasutajaliidesed lectures 2005 common theme:

Labwork may be done alone or in pairs. Groups of three, etc are not allowed. Each lab will be graded, and the grade will be worth 1/3 of the final grade. In order to succeed at the course, both labs plus the final test must be presented/passed. Lab presentations after the deadline will be worth 1/2 of the grade it would receive otherwise. All lab results must be presented on site during regular lab hours, both authors must be present. Email submissions are not accepted.
