Main themes
Web-based Integrated Information Systems have become essential for our organizations. The recent development of teleworking has made this need for dedicated web applications (i.e., application software hosted on a server) even more important. This is true not only  for large companies, but also for SMEs and startups for which such tools offer ideal solutions.
Completing the teaching units previously followed in the Business Engineering track (information systems, programming, databases, etc.), this lecture aims to provide students with all the additional tools necessary to master the ins and outs of development, operation and maintenance of a modern web application. It includes elements of Internet architecture, web architecture, web application development and security.
