course contents

This course teaches the development process of a client-side web application with consideration of the special characteristics of this development environment. Essential programming concepts of modern web development are explained theoretically and then applied (e.g. DOM API, Web Components, Progressive Web Apps) with the aid of suitable development environments and tools.
Furthermore, the concepts and the practical application of client-side web frameworks, which are widely used in current practice, are taught. In addition, typical tasks implemented with such frameworks will be presented and discussed, such as asynchronous communication with server-side backends. In addition to these practice-oriented areas, various frequently encountered architecture patterns (e.g. MVC, Inversion of Control) are presented and their use in the frameworks under consideration is demonstrated.
