Internet Applications

• 39 hrs lectures
• 13 hrs projects

• 60 pts final exam (60 pts written part, 60 pts oral part)
• 40 pts projects

There are several goals: (1) To obtain the knowledge necessary for development of internet applications. (2) Improve understanding of script (mainly JavaScript) and markup languages and their suitability for internet pages development and data exchange.
Basic knowledge of all kinds of internet applications. Advanced knowledge of their design and implementation. Advanced knowledge of the JavaScript language and its application in the frontend and backend development.

Most of the humanity accesses internet applications daily. This course aims to provide the knowledge how web applications work. In this course, you will learn JavaScript, event driven development, and TypeScript. Internet applications are often interconnected by web APIs. Mobile devices with unreliable connectivity need special handling. However, the knowledge gained in this course can be used not only in companies creating web applications but JavaScript is deployed in many modern applications, for example using electronjs.
