Course Overview
This hands-on web development course follows on from COMP 2132. It was designed for students with prior experience developing web pages using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Angular and Vue are popular JavaScript open-source front-end application frameworks for developing modularized single-page applications and building user interfaces. Angular is a standalone front-end JavaScript framework with in-built tools and libraries to build scalable web apps. Vue provides the ability to extend web application functionality with customized modules and visual components. COMP 2909 starts with installing the latest version of Angular. Labs and exercises reinforce Angular development fundamentals to build components, modules, and services for data-driven, client-side web applications. Vue.js is then used for rapid modular web application development. Exercises also include: routing, asynchronous JSON transfer, and validation. These features are then implemented using Vue.js 3. Automated testing and redux architecture are also introduced using Angular. There is a brief introduction to using Angular with the Apache Cordova framework for platform independent mobile development for Android and iOS. Participants may also want to complete COMP 3012 -Back-End Web Development with Node.js, COMP 3013 -Front-End Web Development with React.js, and COMP 4015 Advanced Web Application Development. COMP 2909 is an elective in several BCIT Computing applied associate certificate as well as the CST FLEX Diploma. Upon completion, successful students will be able to use Angular and Vue frameworks to develop data-driven and interactive single-page web applications for all mainstream browsers. This course is offered in the fall (October) and winter (February).
