The goal is providing the students with skills in the most significant languages and Web technologies in the current technological context or that were breakthroughs in the Web's evolutionary process. Therefore, students who obtain a passing grade shoud:
1- Recognize the different types of HTTP requests and responses
2- Implement, in a script language, a simple HTTP client
3- Identify and select the more appropriate languages and technologies for a Web site's development
4- Have a good understanding of several languages for the development of Web pages and styles
5- Write, in javascript, dynamic Web pages
6-Integrate in HTML, through the DOM Interface, XML ou JSON contents, asynchronous received through the HTTPRequest method
7- Develop server scripts to process requests and generate responses through the CGI interface
8- Describe a set of information in valid XML document according to a DTD or a XML Schema
9- Create a DTD, or a XML Schema, to specify a small language for a well defined domain
10- Define, using the declarative XSL language, a set of rules for XML documents transformation

Eligibility for exams

Delivery of two assignments with at least 50% of average between them considering equal weight

Calculation formula of final grade

If NE<8 ou NT<10
Fails the subject
If NE>=8 e NT>=10
Obtains passing mark according to the following rules:
If (NE – NT) > 5
NF = (NE+NT)/2+0,25*(NE-NT-5)
If -5 <= (NT-NE) <= 5
NF=(NE+NT)/2
If (NT-NE) > 5
NF = (NE+NT)/2-0,25*(NT-NE-5) 
Where
NE is the examination mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding 
NT is the assignments mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding 
NF is the final mark
Note that for obtain minimal marks previous roundings are not considered. That means, the exam's minimal mark is 40%. Ex: 7,95 < 8 => therefore fails.

Examinations or Special Assignments

The two practical assignments are scheduled to the following dates:
First assignment - 31-10-2011
Second assignment - 28-11-2011

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Part time students should present their assignments in the same schedule dates. The delivery of the assignments should be done until the same deadline as regular students.

Classification improvement

The exam component can be improved with a new exam.
The assignment component cannot be improved in the same edition. However, it is possible to improve it in the following edition.
