Fullstack TypeScript

The purpose of this module is to provide students with a solid background in JavaScript, necessary to implement full stack JavaScript Systems and evaluate the pros & cons of such a strategy up against alternatives.

The graduate will possess knowledge of:

- JavaScript, and how it differs from compiled languages like Java or C#
- nodeJS and how to use it to implement server-side JavaScript
- NoSql databases, mainly focused on the document database MongoDB
- how to write full stack JavaScript designs involving (but not limited to)
- Servers
- Web Client Applications
- (Stand-alone Clients)
- the newest technologies and trends, with and around, JavaScript
- common security threads and how to prevent against these threads The graduate will be able to:
- Write JavaScript code, using the newest versions of JavaScript and/or Typescript
- Implement Server side JavaScript, backed up by a MongoDB database
- Use a relevant framework to implement simple JavaScript-based web apps
- Use the newest versions of JavaScript involving, when necessary, a transpiler + build/package tools
- Write simple proof of concept examples, demonstrating the features of TypeScript
- Use a modern Client Side Framework to implement Single Page Applications
- Use and understand fundamental security measures to secure a JavaScript backend The graduate will know how to:
- How to implement Full Stack JavaScript Systems and evaluate such a strategy up against alternatives
- The Pros & Cons in using JavaScript everywhere, and that "everywhere" itself is not a goal
- How, when, and when not, to use a NoSQL database
