Web Development for Business

Web Development for Business

A Complete Approach to Front-End and Server-Side Development

Edition 1.0 | Copyright 2022 | Publication Date: November 2021

George C. Philip, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
Jakob Iversen, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

Overview


A major challenge in learning web development is understanding how the functionality of a web application is split between one or more servers and a web browser client. Web Development for Business presents both front-end and back-end technologies as well as database interactions (see cover illustration). This comprehensive textbook covers HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, AJAX, JavaScript, ASP.NET Web Forms, Razor Pages, Core MVC, some C# and SQL as necessary.  The breadth and depth of coverage is suitable for a two-course sequence. Alternate pathways through the book can effectively serve single-semester courses with different focuses.

Features


Provide an in-depth introduction to both front-end and back-end web technologies and their interactions
Cover HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, AJAX, ASP.NET Web Forms, Razor Pages and Core MVC in detail in a single integrated approach. Small chunks of C# code are also presented in some of the later chapters. However, full coverage of C# is beyond the scope of this book. For a comprehensive book on C# see Fundamentals of C# Programming for Information Systems by the same author team.

Flexible coverage
Alternative combinations of chapters can be used for courses with more focused coverage.

Motivate and engage your students
Web development concepts are introduced in small chunks with examples, illustrations, and hands-on tutorials. Students see, apply, and learn successive development techniques as they need them.

Put it all together
A comprehensive web development assignment throughout the book pulls together knowledge on successive topics.

Consolidate knowledge
Using review questions and exercises.

Explore design tradeoffs
Exercises ask students to develop the same applications using alternative frameworks allowing them to directly observe the advantages of various approaches.
