Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce both server and client-side content.
It applies to individuals working as web developers who are responsible for creating dynamic pages to provide interaction between the user and the website. They use highly developed technical and analytical skills when developing the user-website interface.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify the client and server-side dynamic content | 1.1 Review the technical requirements 1.2 Identify the sections of the website, requiring client-side dynamic content 1.3 Identify the sections of the website, requiring server-side dynamic content 1.4 Select the appropriate languages and technology to meet the requirements |
2. Create the dynamic content | 2.1 Create pages using the appropriate languages 2.2 Ensure that the code conforms to current industry best practice and standards |
3. Test the dynamic pages | 3.1 Test the website in a variety of browsers 3.2 Ensure that the required dynamic content functions according to the specified requirements |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
produce dynamic web pages that include both client and server-side dynamic content
create efficient and effective code to meet technical requirements
test the website and code in a variety of web browsers.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain web-programming concepts, including:
authentication and web security
