Overview

Course Description

This course will teach you programming in JavaScript and several libraries and frameworks to build modern web applications.

A full-stack JavaScript developer is a person who can build modern software applications using primarily the JavaScript programming language. Building a modern application involves integrating many technologies—from creating the user interface (UI or front-end) to saving information in a database (usually referred to as the back-end development) and everything else between and beyond. A full-stack developer is a person sufficiently skilled to work with all such technologies on every architectural layer of the system (back-end and front-end)

<aside> 💡 Prerequisites [in plain English]

You should have modest exposure to a programming language such as Java or C++:

• Know the basics of structured programming (decomposing a solution into modules, making use of control structures, etc.)
• Know the basics of Object-Oriented programming (modeling a solution as a set of interacting objects, capturing complexity through the use of inheritance and object composition, etc.) </aside>

Course Learning Outcomes

A student who successfully completes this course will be on the expedited path to becoming a Full-Stack JavaScript developer:

1. You will learn programming fundamentals and basic Object-Oriented concepts using the latest JavaScript syntax.
2. We explore more advanced concepts such as functional and asynchronous programming with JavaScript.
3. After exploring the JavaScript language, we will study the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, React, Express, Node) to build full-stack web applications.and time or space complexity constraints.

This course will address the following Computer Science BS Program Student Outcomes:

• Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions. [SO1]
• Design, implement and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program's discipline. [SO2]
• Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. [SO6]

Lectures

The lecture meetings will be held in person at Homewood Campus, Hackerman B17, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 to 1:15 pm.
