Internet Technologies: Web Design and Development

This course will teach you modern Web Development, which is focussed on creating a dynamic and efficient applications using React, Angular.js, and REST API's. The chapter begins by introducing Single Page Applications(SPA's) and their significance in enhancing user exerience by enabling seamless navigations without full page reloads. In a Single Page Applications, React and Angular.js provide the framework for building dynamic user interfaces, AJAX facilitates asynchronous data fetching, JSON serves as the data interchnage format for seamless communication between the client and server, ES6 enhances the development process with modern JavaScript features, making the code more expressive, maintainable and efficient. It explores the power of React, highlighting its component-based architechtures, Virtual DOM and tools for building reuseable and responsible user interfaces. Angular.js explores its robust features like a 2-way data binding, dependency injection and directives which enable developers to create a scalable and maintainable client-side solutions. We will also explore the principles of RESTful web services covering stateless communication, CRUD operations and the integration of API's to manage the back-end logic. Emphasis is placed on implementing form validation using Angular.js demonstrating both built-in and custom validations to ensure data accuracy and reliability. At the end, we will learn how React or Angular.js front ends can seamlessly integrate with REST API's to build complete, secure and interactive web applications. This comprehensive approach equips readers with the essential tools to develop modern, scalable and user friendly web solutions.
