This course is divided into 8 Modules, extending over 2 sections.
The first half of the course (the "Backend Section") is made up of 4 modules:
- REST APIs
- Authentication and Authorization
- Realtime (Sockets, Messages, Queuing)
- Serverless Applications
The second half of the course (the "Frontend Section") is comprised of 4 modules, focused on React
- React Basics / Component Based Design
- Hooks and Context
- Redux
- React Native and other Frameworks
- Mastery of JavaScript Fundamentals
- Objects, Factories, Classes
- Standard and Arrow Functions
- Looping, Iteration, Traversal of Arrays and Objects
- Recursion
- Documentation best practices with JSDoc
- Understanding of core data structures
- When each structure is most appropriate
- Real world applications of each structure

It's advisable that students first make an new organization in Github (perhaps called '401-js-their-name') that these repositories can be created in, to organize things better.
-
READING (Due before each lecture)
- Reading assignments should be done as articles/notes in the *wiki- of their repo fork
-
LAB Assignments (4 per module)
- 10 Points (graded on the rubric)
- ~ 3-5 Hours
- Should be completed in a new repository for each day
- Generally, these are smaller implementations, refactors, and practice to support the lecture concept. Not necessarily a full-scale application.
- Code must be tested through GitHub Actions and deployed through either Heroku or AWS
- JS Code must be documented with JSDoc
- Students must use the README.md template (from the resources folder) to complete their assignment
- The README requires working links to deployed code, GitHub Actions tests, functional documentation, test documentation and a UML and/or data-flow diagram.
-
DS&A IMPLEMENTATION
- 10 Points (complete/incomplete)
- Installed at the root level of your
data-structures-and-algorithmsrepository - These will be used as libraries to solve code challenges
-
DS&A CODE CHALLENGE (4 per module)
- 5 points (3 points for whiteboard, 1 point for testing, 1 point for working code)
- Generally requires a working implementation (above) to work
- TimeBox execution to ~ 1 Hour
-
END OF EACH BLOCK
- New Data Structure (as noted above): Modules 1,2,3 & 6,7,8
- Project Group Prep: Modules 4 and 8
- Generally Paired
- Takes the learnings/components/modules from the previous 4 classes and has the students assemble them into a larger/full-scale application.
