Laboratory Assignments

  • Assigned: At the start of a remote laboratory session every Tuesday
  • Due: At the start of the remote laboratory session one week after it was assigned

Building on material in the textbooks and the content covered during the following weeks of the semester, laboratory assignments have the following goals:

  • Equip a learner to solve new problems in the field of web development by applying — in a new way — their knowledge of the facts, techniques, and rules of the programming languages used for mobile-ready web design.

  • Afford a learner the opportunity to compare and contrast implementations of web site components in a programming language, enabling you to find evidence to support both the generalization and specialization of a component type.

  • Enable a learner to develop the skills needed conduct experiments and use experimental results to present and defend judgements about the efficiency, effectiveness, and correctness of a web site component implemented in a programming language.

Building on the concepts and source code in the textbook and practical assignments, laboratory assignments invite you to complete tasks like the following:

  • After using a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to refactor the implementation of a web site component to ensure that it strikes the right balance between understandability, generalizability, and specialization, justify and reflectively examine your decisions in technical writing.

  • Use a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to design, implement, test, and use an experimentation framework to run experiments to evaluate a web site component. Using the data collected from the experiments, evaluate the implementation of the web site component as you consider, for instance, its efficiency, correctness, and design.

  • After using a text editor, a terminal window, and a web browser to design, implement, test, and use an integrated mobile-ready web site that features user documentation, a test suite, and a complete web-based interface, critique the overall quality of the web site based on pre-defined criteria involving aesthetics and accessibility.
