Subject Title
Web Programming

Subject Description
This is an introductory course in web programming for standard browsers. Students begin by learning JavaScript, the programming language of the Web, and the focus of this course. Then, the Node.js JavaScript runtime is introduced with Express.js to enable client / server communication within a web application. Students will learn to use the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to define the structure and content of documents within context of a "template engine". To affect and modify the appearance and formatting of this content, students learn and apply the foundations of the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) language.  Database connectivity will then be discussed using an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) with a relational database to enable data persistence within an application.  Finally, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is discussed with several security considerations including HTTPS and data encryption.
