Interactive Web Development

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course introduces students to the conceptual, design, and technical aspects of authoring client-side interactive web applications. Students will use the JavaScript programming language to author dynamic client-side interactive and accessible components, implement REST APIs, query data from a document database, and asynchronously request and render API data client-side. Through a succession of homeworks and projects, students will learn and practice how to apply these principles to the creation of client-side rendered websites. Modern best practices are emphasized, including the use of version control, development containers, and generative AI.

Prerequisites CS 1110 or CS 1112.
