In the module on Network Services we learnt about the basic web technologies: HTML, CSS, web servers, forms, templating, etc. These techniques are still the building blocks for websites. But now we see more and more web applications. These applications are also accessed from within a web browser, but they are far more dynamic than traditional web pages. Examples of these kinds of applications are: Gmail, Netflix, WhatsApp Web and Google Docs.
The foundations for this type of application are found in JavaScript. This programming language is built into every browser. JavaScript is covered extensively in this module. We will use it client-side (i.e. within the browser) as well as server-side (through Node.js).
The aim of this module is for students to gain a thorough understanding of what is involved in the implementation of a modern web application.
