COURSE SYLLABUS

On completion of the course the student shall:

• display knowledge of the fundamentals of HTTP and networking
• display knowledge of authentication and authorization in web applications
• demonstrate comprehension of developing a full-stack web application in Node.JS, connected to a database and exposing a RESTful API

• demonstrate the ability to develop a full-stack web application
• demonstrate the ability to create a backend system in Node.JS that exposes a RESTful API
• demonstrate the ability to create a database that supports CRUD operations and connects to the backend
• demonstrate the ability to create a deployment using containerization

• demonstrate the ability to suggest and motivate a full-stack web application setup
• demonstrate the ability to evaluate the security of web applications

The course teaches students how to expand their front-end development skills into full-stack web development by learning about the server-side aspects of web application. Students will learn how to use Node.JS to develop RESTful APIs, manage server-side logic, and connect to an SQL database. While developing, students learn about security perspective of different web application components. At the end of the course, students will be able to deploy a working full-stack web application, including front-end, backend, and database.

The course includes the following elements:

• Learn about the fundamentals of HTTP and networking
• Use Node.JS to create a backend system
• Develop and work with RESTful APIs
• Learn about the basics of SQL-databases and CRUD operations
• Work with authentication and authorization
• Integrate the backend with a front-end application
• Using containerization like Docker to deploy their web application
