TRENDS IN TEACHING WEB-BASED DEVELOPMENT - A Survey of Pedagogy in Web Development Courses

Ralph F. Grove

2007

Abstract

Many universities now offer a computer science course covering the development of information systems for the World Wide Web. Over the last ten years much has been written about experiences gained in developing and teaching such a course. This paper summarizes these experiences, including curriculum, common problems, and lessons learned. It also provides a suggested model curriculum and argues for more emphasis on fundamental concepts in addition to the standard core set of Web development technologies.
