Interactive Web Development
This course introduces students to the conceptual, design, and technical aspects of authoring client-side interactive web applications. Students will use the JavaScript programming language to author dynamic client-side interactive and accessible components, implement REST APIs, query data from a document database, and asynchronously request and render API data client-side. Through a succession of homeworks and projects, students will learn and practice how to apply these principles to the creation of client-side rendered websites. Modern best practices are emphasized, including the use of version control, development containers, and generative AI.
Topics
- Design usable and accessible client-side rendered components for interactive single-page web applications.
- Communicate between client and server side code via HTTP requests and responses.
- Store and retrieve web content in a document database.
- Design and implement usable RESTful APIs.
- Troubleshoot programming problems independently using reference documentation, debuggers, and generative AI.
- Utilize generative AI tools effectively as a coding partner to assist in development.
- Gain experience with developer best practices, like version control using Git and authoring documentation using Markdown.
- Demonstrate a high standard of professionalism.
