Abstract :
This paper deals with the development of educational and website maintenance tools using CGI-Programming and Java. The authors present some basics of CGI-Programming and how “dynamic document generation” can greatly enhance the possibilities of traditional static HTML. Webtools are presented, in the context of a bachelor´s degree C++ programming language course at Laval University. This year, over 200 students performed successfully an exam directly over the Net. This evaluation system and some necessary security measures are also presented
