About this Course

The World Wide Web and its underlying technologies are increasingly gaining importance for the development of interactive Web applications. This course introduces concepts, principles and methods in current client and server-side Web technologies. Basic Web technologies such as HTML, HTTP, CSS, XML, JavaScript etc. are a prerequisite to take this course. The focus of this course is rather on advanced topics in emerging Web technologies. These include extensions of Web standards, combination of different Web technologies, Web toolkits and development environments, current backend Web frameworks (e.g. Node & Express, Django, Ruby on Rails), and frontend Web frameworks (e.g. Angular, React, Vue.js, Ember.js, Meteor). This course follows a student-centered, project-based learning approach. Web technologies will be proposed and presented in the lecture by student groups. The presented technologies are further investigated and applied in hands-on sessions as well as small student projects carried out throughout the course.

Getting credits for this course requires a successful completion of all assignments, project, and oral exam at the end of the semester. The final grade will be calculated as follows: assignments and project (50%), student presentations including tutorial and exercise for peers (17%) and oral exam (33%).

Project description:

The goal is to help students collaboratively collect and share learning materials. Students face problems while preparing for exams and always look for some helping material at the later stages. We came up with the idea to provide students with a common platform through which they can scan a provided QR code for a specific topic and easily access the collected learning materials related to that topic, provided in different cards. We also provide a rating and ranking functionality for the students,  so that they can get the most relevant materials at the top.

Main features:

• Login, Registration, Change Password, Upload Photo
• Create Board
• Add Learning Material (as Card)
• Voting
• Scan/Generate QR-Code
