Front-end development goes beyond just the pretty facade of a web application. In this course we build on our web foundations, by adding in even more interactions and data processing power with JavaScript so we can graduate from creating simple, static web sites to sophisticated web interfaces that can communicate with a server.

We’ll dive into JavaScript and Software Design patterns for the web. We’ll talk about code organization and application design patterns such as Model-View-Controller and Web Component hierarchies and how to send and receive data asynchronously over the HTTP/S protocol. We’ll make a custom interactive app that interfaces with a server in order to fetch data to display in the browser and send user input to save in a database. These types of techniques can be woven together to create fully-fledged online apps with user signup and login forms.
