This course introduces students to the conceptual, design, and technical aspects of making interactive web applications. Students participate in a) JavaScript programming lectures outlining both client and server-side components of successful web applications which use HTTP communication, b) exercises which illustrate the benefits and tradeoffs of application design patterns such as handling application data client-side or server-side, and c) in- and out-of-class activities implementing user-facing web applications. Throughout the semester, students will create usable and accessible systems by employing the interaction design principles they learn. This course assumes no prior programming experience.

Outcome 1: Design usable and accessible interactive web applications.

Outcome 2: Program client and server side interactive web application components.

Outcome 3: Communicate between client and server side code with HTTP requests and responses.
