course contents

Students are introduced to software development with web based technologies during the lecture. This includes front-end and back-end software development. Students will acquire in-depth knowledge of the structure (HTML), design (CSS and preprocessors), and dynamic aspects (JavaScript and TypeScript) of web applications, as well as their backend develop-ment with current and modern programming languages (e.g. Node.js, Python). Students there-fore gain an overview of the entire development of web applications. Additional content such as front-end frameworks (e.g. Stencil.js, Angular, Vue) is discussed. Furthermore, students are introduced to methods and tools that simplify software development and increase the quality of the code. This includes methods such as code management, code formatting, linting, auto-mation, bundler modules and package management. In addition, students are introduced to different architectures (client/server, 3-tier model) and implementations of web applications (e.g. headless). The content learned is put into practice and consolidated by the students with exercises.
