Introduce the components and process involved in developing a full stack web application: Data modeling, Server Side Business Logic, Service Oriented Architecture, Client-side Web Application, Mobile App Development. Also touches upon User Management, Security and Other Network Related Concepts.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- take a problem and design a full stack web application architecture;
- demonstrate andunderstand service-oriented architecture;
- implement a client side web and/or native mobile app;
- understand security and operational implications that comes with full-stack application.
There are no required textbooks for this class. However, through out the cource, there will be list of reference materials for you to read.
- 30% - Project Progress Report
- 50% - Final Project
- 20% - Peer Evaluation
To achieve the objectives above, you will form a group of 4 or 5 students and create a full stack web application. In the middle of the semester, you'll provide a progress report on you project. And at the end of the semester, you will give a brief presentation on your final project product. Completing your project as a group will grant you at most 80% of your final grade. Rest of 20% will come from peer evaluation. More detailed description of the project will be given ot you through out the course.
