Description:

This course starts off where Comp 337/437 ends. It studies the construction of web-based interfaces using HTML and VoXML; and speech-based interfaces using the Java Speech API and VoXML. We will use the Java Servlet API to connect the program logic to these different interfaces.

There will be several substantial programming projects in the Java language using the APIs mentioned above. There will be several quizzes, one or more in-class exams, and a final exam covering the concepts and techniques studied in this course.
