E-Com Stream Overview
COMP9321 is the first course in the three-part series of e-Commercestream (COMP9321 → COMP9322 → COMP9323)
COMP9321 - the basic infrastructure for building *not so trivial*web applications
main objective is to be comfortable with the idea of building a single,fully functional web application yourself, from scratch
COMP9322 - more advanced infrastructure for supporting businessapplications integration
main objective is to learn how to make separate applications to worktogether as one (without building the integrated system from scratch)
COMP9323 - project
main objective is to practice what you learned in COMP9321 andCOMP9322 by implementing sizeable projects

What Are You Going to Learn in COMP9321?
the course title: Web Application Engineering
Let us start with: Web and Application
http://www.w3.org/2004/Talks/w3c10-HowItAllStarted
Sir. Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the Web (still veryactive in [email protected])
1989, B-L proposes a global hypertext project called“World-Wide-Web”
Universal “Readership” - anywhere, any machine,same document
1991, started with around 50 Web sites
1993, GUI-browser (Mosaic)
Today, www.internetworldstats.com

”It’s software Jim, but not as we know it”
Why are web apps different ?

What are we aiming for..
the course title: Web Application Engineering
Now Engineering1 ...
Building a Web site is easy enough: HTML and a Web server ...
Building a Web application requires a greater degree of modeling,more sophisticated tools, and a well defined, repeatable process.
Web Application Architecture:

The importance of Web Application Architecture2
Architecture as encompassing the set of significant decisions about theorganization of a software system, including:
Selection of the structural elements and their interfaces by which asystem is composed
Behavior as specified in collaborations among those elements
Composition of these structural and behavioral elements into largersubsystems
An architectural style that guides this organization
A stable architecture is essential to every successful system:
the creation of a stable architecture helps drive the highest risks outof the project,
the presence of a stable architecture provides the basis upon which thesystem may be continuously evolved with minimal scrap and rework

COMP9321 Supp Exam Policy
Supplementary examination will only be granted when a student was notable to attend the final exam for reasons beyond the student’s control(eg., sickness), and submitted a special consideration at the StudentCentre within three working days after the examination day.
Note, however, if you attended the final exam, I will interpret that illness,misadventure or other circumstance beyond your control:
has not affected your preparation for the final exam;
has not affected you on the day of the exam
and you will not be considered for supplementary assessment. In otherwords, if your preparational ability to sit the exam has been affected byyour sickness, then do not attend the exam.

Other notes
Programming - Java is the base language for this course. Assignmentsmust be carried out in Java. We cannot help you with Java syntax.
Laptop Usage - Laptop use is encouraged during lecture. But, pleasedo not play games. It distracts your neighbours as well.
Group assignments - You will get same mark for the group assignmentirrespective of how the load was shared. If you have problems withthe performance of your team mate, see me early.
Lecture participation - Please try to attend all lectures and participateby asking questions and initiating discussions.
Please check the messageboard regularly to keep up with the materialexplained in class and clarifications for assignment specs.
