CSCI 2254 Web Application Development
The web connects our society, providing enormous opportunities for changing and improving how we live every day, from sharing information to interacting with others. We have witnessed the power of the web through various web-based applications, including social media, productivity, and transportation applications. These digital utilities have seamlessly integrated into our routines, fundamentally altering our methods of communication, work, and mobility in recent times. Students will learn how to develop usable and useful web applications in this course. The overall architecture of Internet applications is examined at a high level. Special emphasis is placed on front-end development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This course further expands to encompass React, a component-based library for building frontend interfaces. The course will culminate with a final project where students take a human-centered design approach to address the needs of people by constructing a sophisticated web application.
