Description
This course presents hands-on labs for students to be familiar with the software development process, techniques, and tools. Students are asked to build real, useful applications (websites and/or mobile apps) accessible to the public.
The classes are divided into three parts. First, we give a primer to common web technologies such as HTTP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. We cover different programming paradigms, including the OOP and functional programming. Handy tools such as Git are covered to get students familiar with the project-based and team-based development. In the second part, we introduce modern web development techniques such as React, Redux, Node.js, and Firebase and some reusable templates from Bootstrap and Reactstrap that speed up the development process. Last, we extend our horizon to the mobile development landscape by introducing the React Native. We also give case studies on how to leverage Machine Learning and Data Mining algorithms to convert raw user data into the app intelligence.
