| Aims |
|
Knowledge the theoretical concepts: middleware technologies, web services. In the web service field, three methodologies will be presented: XMLRPC, SOAP, and REST. In the same time, the students will use the main actual middleware platforms and languages: RMI, CORBA, PHP, Python, .NET, Java. The course will be open new research directions in the topic. |
