About
The Interactive Web Development Student Association (IWDSA) is a
student-run organization located on the campus of California State
Polytechnic University, Pomona. The club was founded April 5, 1997.
IWDSA consists of students and faculty interested in sharing knowledge,
technology, and creativity to foster the learning and support of
Interactive Web Development. With this philosophy as the backbone that
drives the club forward, let's get together and make it an exciting
school year at Cal Poly Pomona in this exciting field.
The goals of IWDSA are to provide an open environment and opportunities
for students to increase their knowledge in Web Development and to
further develop their skills and abilities through active involvement in
organization events and activities.
The original intention of the club was to encourage the study,
discussion, and exploration of Web design and development.
Now, the direction of that original intention has made a slight turn in
order to adapt to the new evolution of the IT Industry. With the same
attitude toward the study, discussion, and exploration of Web design and
development, IWDSA now has a new focus: Security.
In the present day, more and more people have become familiar with Internet technologies and the Web. It is not unusual to find a 7th
grader with their own website on the Internet, self built using tools
that are offered for free on different sites. These free sites are helping them to
build their initial web presence. With the technologies
becoming more accessible to users and people who are becoming more
knowledgeable about the Internet, a security issue has emerged as an
area worth while to spend some time on.
With the trend of the IT Industry moving toward Security, IWDSA figures
why not make it a part of the club's focus along with the same
enthusiasm toward web development.
