Innehåll

The course introduces solutions on the server side, which provide digital products with structured information. Server-side solutions are created taking into account the principles of service design. The course starts with basics of programming in JavaScript and explains web frameworks for creation of server-side applications such as Express. The client-server model is considered then as well as creation of web services with REST API. Request routing, templates for web pages and serialization with JSON are explained next. Storing of data in a database on the server is detailed then. The second part of course continues the subject of the semantic web, and how it can be used to improve applications.

The topics covered in the course include:
- development of server-side solutions based on the principles of service design
- introduction to programming in JavaScript
- the client-server model of programming
- web frameworks for JavaScript
- request routing and web page templates
- stateless web services, REST API, and JSON serialization
- storing data in a database and ER-modelling
- using open vocabularies and standard schemas for structuring information
- using NoSQL databases
