For students already familiar with basic network concepts this course will describe applications that use a network to its best advantage. The first topic is electronic mail and the standards associated with it. Specific products are Message Handling System (MHS) mail and SMTP (UNIX) mail. The course then moves on to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages and web servers. In all cases, the emphasis will be on underlying concepts rather than which button to click on. The course will finish with a brief look at network programming with Java.
