Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to relational and NoSQL databases and their use in applications. The course will also discuss trends in the development of web applications, especially in relation to assistive technologies and human-machine interfaces.

Requirements:

Form of verification of study results: oral examination.

As a standard, the course is taught in contact form and the course has lectures. In case the number of students is less than 5, the teaching can take place in the form of guided self-study with regular consultations. In this case, in addition to the examination, the student is required to produce a written study on the assigned topic.

For combined study:

Teaching takes the form of guided self-study with regular consultations. In addition to the examination, the student is required to prepare a written study on a given topic.
