including variables, functions, objects, events, data
types, operators and conditional logic. Hands-on
in-class tasks support students to apply these
programming concepts and build upon their existing
front-end development experience to create simple
dynamic website applications.

Prerequisites: Web 102.

WEB 104 - ADVANCED FRONT-END
DEVELOPMENT WITH JAVASCRIPT

Expands upon students foundational knowledge

and skills in front-end web development to explore
modular, maintainable, and efficient approaches

to coding in JavaScript through the integration

of external dependencies and use of tools and
frameworks. Students will apply these approaches
and refine skills to develop more complex client-side
applications

Prerequisites: WEB 103.

WEB 105 - DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Provides students with the current industry context,
standards and fundamental tools required to dive
into back-end web developing. Students will become
familiar with the back-end environment by setting

up a web server, setting up a virtual host, running

an https and creating sandboxes. They will gain
confidence and access greater control in front and
back-end web development by executing command
line through Terminal. Understanding of best-practice
in version control will be emphasized as students
learn how to utilize open source distributed version
control systems and incorporate thorough testing and
debugging practices into their development projects.

Prerequisites: WEB 104.

WEB 106 - ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Helps students identify and respond to a market
need by bringing a marketable business idea to

life. Simulating a start up environment students

are challenged to explore new ways of team-based
problem solving, ideation and business model
development that will establish a working foundation
for a viable business. Students will prepare a pitch
deck and present their startup idea to an audience
for feedback.

WEB 107 - BACK-END DEVELOPMENT
FUNDAMENTALS

Takes students on a deep dive into the back-end
systems that drive modern web applications so that
they can gain a more holistic understanding of web
development practices and tailor website content
for individual users. Students will learn, practice and
apply a scripting language, as well as use packages,
frameworks, and application program interfaces
(APIs) while working within an agile development
environment. An emphasis will be placed on
maintaining industry standards and best practices,
and integrating agile testing practices to ensure
security and efficiency. Students will apply and refine
skills to develop a server-side web application.

WEB 108 - DATA PERSISTENCE

Builds upon fundamental back-end development
knowledge and skills by familiarizing students with
database management systems, frameworks, and
methods for data storage and retrieval. Students will
learn to how to utilize both relational and non-
relational databases in web applciation development
as well as gain understanding of how the two
models are different and why they are needed.
Students will use data persistence strategies to
determine the right storage model for their different
web application use-cases and how to maintain
information integrity, security and confidentiality.

Prerequisites: WEB 107.

WEB 109 - WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

Introduces students to the selection and
configuration of appropriate tools to form a scalable
and continuous development-delivery-operations
support pipeline. By reviewing their web applications
from an infrastructure, architecture, and coding
perspective, students will develop more secure

web applications, test their web applications for
vulnerabilities, and implement mitigation strategies.

WEB 110 - FULL-STACK WEB
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Provides students with the opportunity to employ
their cumulative skills and talents to develop a full
stack web application. Each student must choose
an area of focus, plan and complete a series of
scheduled tasks to create a unique and custom
portfolio-ready web application product.

Prerequisites: WEB 108.
