Course Overview
This course introduces students to an open-source software stack for building and deploying dynamic websites and platform independent web applications. This intensive, hands-on course builds on concepts and skills introduced in the CIT year one web development courses by introducing new database, programming, and web application frameworks that support end-to-end web application development using an MVC architecture. The course will focus on technologies associated with a current modern stack, such as MEAN, LAMP, MAMP, etc. By the end of this course participants will be able to develop secure data-driven business web applications using the technologies in the stack.
