Abstract

Many web systems developers have completed education in basic web site development. The evolution of web systems to include interfaces to legacy systems exposed through web services requires a shift in the developers design process. Web system developers of 2012 and onward have to be aware of many issues regarding legacy systems, security, performance, modern development languages and methodologies. In this paper an overview of the experiences of an educator of enterprise web systems is presented and a prototype web developer specific pedagogy is proposed. Finally a review of some of the most common teaching tools is provided with respect to their applicability to the education of mixed generation, mixed ability Web System Development learners.
