Co-requisites : None Method of Delivery & frequency of Class : 15 weeks (3 hours lecture and practical) delivered in Blended Mode using an adaptation of the Flipped-Classroom method. Method and Criteria of Assessment: It is expected that students submit all the coursework and attend all presentations/class tests. For this module, 80% class attendance is mandatory.  Working with Data Formats XML/JSON documents: 30%  Implementing and Consuming Web Services: 40%  Online/practical/Written Class Tests: 30% NOTE: Number, type and weight (%) of the mentioned coursework above, may vary. If there are changes, the exact details will be communicated as and when required. Module Aims: This module intends to give the students a technical knowhow to use as well as design and implement Web Services, also known as Web APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). It is one of the core components of the current version of the Web, and promotes reusability by overcoming barriers of programming languages, protocols and platforms. The module looks at building Web Services using Resource Oriented Approach (ROA) from scratch based on REST, but also discusses the Service Oriented Architecture Approach (SOA). Learning Objectives and Outcomes: On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:  Understand and be proficient different data formats: XML (XML Schema) and JSON.  Understand the concepts of service & resource-oriented architectures.  Consume existing Web Services to build client applications.  Design and implement ROA (Restful) Web Services.
