Web Application Development
Creating the next generation of high-impact, effective web systems require technical expertise
combined with artistic talent. This event encompasses elements of visual design, functionality,
usability principles, and now programming expertise to test the limits of creativity and engineering.
This case is a combination of both Web Design and Application Development and is the first year we will be doing this type of case.
