About This Course
In this project course, the final course in the Software Development Micro Masters program, you will learn how to input, manipulate, and return data with a modern web development stack. Using Typescript and Node, you will manipulate large amounts of information using a domain-specific querying language. Backend, REST, and front-end technologies will be required to successfully complete the project.
Why Take This Course?
Students will work through the project in several sprints. In each sprint, students will produce a deliverable that is evaluated using an automated test suite. The feedback you will receive from this suite will be limited. To succeed at the project you will need to create your own private test suite to further validate each deliverable.
Learning Outcomes
- Full-stack web development using Typescript and Node.js
- How teams of developers build software
- Agile methodology
- Hands on experience building a non-trivial software system
