User Interfaces

Catalog description

This course introduces the technical principles of User Interfaces (UI) using the Front-End development of web-based applications as an example. Students will take the procedure from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end and then shift their attention to using React.js for the front-end of Single Page Applications. They will focus on the "V" portion in the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. The course features a modern server-side scripting platform such as Node.js or Express.js although the main focus is on the front-end View Engine React.js. Most of the course work is targeting developing the front-end for complex, large-scale web application systems.
