The World Wide Web has become the most successful and widespread platform for offering online services and applications. Started as (from today's point of view) a simple platform for linked documents, meanwhile all kinds of services and applications can be realized with it. Furthermore, the web technologies behind it have radically entered many other technology areas, e.g. protocols and interfaces for media and telecommunication applications, as well as for standardized data exchange between systems - you can find them everywhere. For example, the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband (HbbTV) standard for interactive television broadcasts relies entirely on web technologies. Web technologies are therefore seen today as the basis for implementing interoperable systems and interfaces. Web technologies are developed and standardized by the World Web Consortium (W3C) with over 450 members. These include HTML as a markup language for web pages as well as protocols and APIs (e.g. WebSockets, WebRTC, MSE, EME, WebTransport, WebGL and many others).
The course will train participants in latest and upcoming Web technologies. Specific insights will be presented from the current standardisation, research and development activities, as well as the use in commercial solutions. The course will focus especially on technologies and related standards for media streaming and playback for the Web platform.
