DH2642 Interaction Programming and the Dynamic Web 7.5 credits

Interaction programming gives the basic Model-View-Controller principles for developing interactive applications. These principles can be applied to many desktop, mobile or web apps frameworks. The course currently applies these principles to web applications, using JavaScript, DOM APIs, HTML, CSS etc. These front-end applications use data from remote back-ends using web APIs.
