TEACHING

• Web Programming (Applied Computer Science course)
  The focus is on client- and server-side programming with JavaScript and Node.js, respectively, as well as the implementation of REST-based single-page applications with current JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js or Angular.
• Graphical User Interfaces (Applied Computer Science course)
  The programmed as well as declarative creation of interactive graphical user interfaces in Java is dealt with, taking into account aspects of software ergonomics. The underlying design patterns MVC, MVP and MVVM are also discussed.
• Web Development 1 (Media Design & Digital Design course)
  The goal is to create visually appealing websites using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Emphasis is placed on teaching the design capabilities of the web (including box models, grid layouts, responsive design).

• Advanced Web Engineering (elective)
  The module addresses advanced topics of web engineering, e.g. use of CSS by means of preprocessors, introduction to web components, in-depth study of modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue or Angular.
• Internet (only in WS 2019/20)
  Teaching of the higher protocols and services used on the Internet. Topics include the architecture of network applications, the protocols HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS as well as multimedia networks and an introduction to cloud computing.
