Netcentric Computer Systems 216 (COS 216) : University of Pretoria Yearbook 2019

This module introduces students to netcentric systems with a focus on developing systems for the web, mobile devices, and cloud computing. Students will learn programming languages like HTML5, JavaScript, CSS, and Python, differentiating between client-side and server-side computation. They will also cover data persistence on the web and mobile platforms, as well as concepts for cloud computing like task partitioning, security, and data storage. Students are required to complete practical assignments integrating these technologies and a comprehensive programming project.

Module content
This module will introduce the student to netcentric systems by focusing on the development of systems for the
web, mobile devices and the cloud. To lay the foundation on which the rest of the module can follow, traditional
web-based programming languages such as HTML5, JavaScript, CSS and Python will be covered differentiating
between client-side and server-side computation. Persistence of web-based data will be included for both client
and server-based computation. These technologies will be extended and applied to mobile platforms where the
availability of a connection, location-services and mobile device limitations play a role. For cloud platforms,
aspects relating to task partitioning, security, virtualisation, cloud storage and access to the shared data stores,
data synchronisation, partitioning and replication are considered. In order to practically demonstrate that a
student has reached these outcomes, students will be required to use, integrate and maintain the necessary
software and hardware by completing a number of smaller practical assignments where after integrating all
these technologies into a comprehensive and practical programming project is required.

The information published here is subject to change and may be amended after the publication of this information. The
