CS 240 - JavaScript II

Credits: 1-5
This course covers the fundamentals of algorithm data structures within JavaScript (JS) and server-side JS. Students build template-assembled web pages, store and retrieve site information from databases, and build Restful API endpoints. Students perform data handling of forms, usage of middleware, and user-authentication.
Course Outcomes:

Create industry-grade JavaScript code using common design patterns
Use basic data structures such as arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and trees (optional)
Employ common sorting and searching algorithms: graphs, hash tables, heaps, linked lists, queues, sets, stacks
Create server-based web applications with server-side Javascript
Maintain full-stack JS application codebases using a package manager to oversee modules
Create web application servers using JavaScript based routing
