In this course, students will learn to develop and release standardized server-side applications. Techniques include favoring convention over configuration, following a strict RESTful MVC architecture, and emphasizing the role of automated testing.
This course begins by fostering familiarity with syntactic language features, then rapidly moves into building server-side web applications and APIs. Deliverables include at least two completed and deployed applications.
Students by the end of the course will be able to ...
- Use an open-source programming language.
- Compare and contrast common patterns for backend web development.
- Design, implement, and deploy multiple web applications through an opinionated web framework.
- Build SQL-based Object Relationships Manager (ORM) patterns and queries.
- Practice automated testing paradigms.
