Every day, we use web applications for a variety of tasks, like switching off the lights at home or ordering a pizza. Therefore it is crucial that you, as a software developer, learn how to build a web application.
In this module we will build a simple, dynamic web app using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. For this, you use a client-side web application that communicates with the REST API you have made.
At the end of the module, you will be able to use basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Alongside this, you understand the principles of a RESTful API and you can apply these to a given case study. You learn to link a database to a Spring Boot REST API and implement API calls that use JSON. And finally, you document the (design of) an API (what calls are available and what are the possible responses?) and explain REST calls through diagrams.
