Introduction

This unit will cover advanced web technologies and front-end frameworks that form the basis of modern web application experiences. Students will learn about the role of frameworks in the full-stack development lifecycle and explore principles of DevOps (Development Operations) and secure web services that leverage server-side resources. Throughout the unit, students will explore the application of contemporary frameworks and web services in the design and development of modern responsive web applications. These concepts will be supported by hands-on exercises building web applications using modern frameworks, tools, and languages that dynamically present data retrieved from web service APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Web service concepts will include secure and REST architectural principles together with industry standard storage and transmission formats such as JSON, and students will design and develop their own web service as part of their project work.
