Web programming (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Content scheduling

During the course, you will intensively study Typescript and frontend programming. The things you learn will be applied in the Software Project 1 course, which begins immediately after the course.

Objective

Purpose of the course

There is a demand for good programmers and web developers in the job market. However, knowing the basics is not sufficient for a programmer, but a broader and deeper competence is needed. In this course you will learn more about programming and you will also get to know the basics of frontend development.

Course competences

- Application Development Competence: Knows the technologies used in application development and recognizes the significance of different technologies and their relationships.
- Application Development Competence: Is able to program and develop secure applications.
- Software Engineering Competence: Is able to define, plan and/or implement software products.

Learning objectives of the course

After the course, you will know more advanced concepts and structures related to programming. You know how to write asyncronius code. You know the concepts and principles related to frontend application development. You know how to develop simple web applications.

Content

You will deepen your programming skills primarily through the use of the Typescript programming language. We will focus on topics such as types, classes, interfaces, generic types, and modules. You will also study asynchronous programming and learn how to retrieve information from external data sources, such as REST APIs. Additionally, you will apply your programming expertise in practice by implementing small-scale frontend applications using the chosen application framework.

Location and time

The contact lessons will be carried out at Jamk's main campus in March-April. There are two contact sessions per week.

Teaching methods

You will first learn new programming concepts and structures in the Typescript environment, after which you will apply the knowledge and skills in practice in Svelte frontend development. The weekly work of the course is divided into two weekly contacts and independent study. The contact hours consist of lectures, assignments and a sample project.

Exam schedules

There is no exam in the course, but the assessment is based on a demonstration of competence. The demonstration work for the demonstration of competence can be either a separate exercise or an application implemented in a software project that the student has actively coded during the project.

Student workload

The workload for the course is 135 hours. To successfully complete the course, you must allocate approximately 20 hours of work time per week.
