• understand the concept of clients and servers and examine technologies used to support distributed applications;
• understand the architectural and programming paradigms used in distributed system development, and how middleware components mediate between clients and servers;
• categorise and evaluate these tools according to different criteria such as applicability and ease of use, and intelligently participate in the selection of appropriate tools and architectures, or combination, to solve simple web-related problems;
• use the presented technologies in practice to develop distributed applications.
