| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit consolidates and further develops the students’ programming skills introduced in unit “Introduction to Iconic Programming” by introducing the text-based programming language C#. C# is a versatile and popular programming language. In this unit, C# will be used to create rest APIs which can interact with various software clients including those deployed on microcontrollers. Additionally HTML5 and Javascript will also be introduced in this unit. The students will learn how to create a website that can interact with Rest APIs created in C# through asynchronous Javascript programming. Study-unit Aims: The aim of this study-unit is to: • Provide students with essential programming skills from a client/server perspective; • Introduce C# an increasingly popular language, to create server-side services that can be called from diverse clients; • Introduce students to rest APIs; • Familiarise students with HTML5, CSS and Javascript to create responsive web clients. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Compare client and server based technologies; - Describe the different layers of a web server and how web applications interact with each other; - Recommend a software design for a given problem; - Describe the HTTP methods rest services support; - Compare the uses of HTML5, CSS and Javascript. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Design, implement and test restful apis that support CRUD operations in C#; - Debugging applications; - Setup a webserver; - Design, implement and test websites that use restful apis.
