In this module, you will learn how to use JavaScript promises and their associated programming techniques. You will apply these promises with AJAX, a method for acquiring server resources asynchronously. Next, you will be introduced to Single Page Applications (SPAs) and Multi-Page Applications (MPAs), two different approaches to building web applications. You will gain hands-on experience by exploring an example of building an SPA using AJAX and a Node.js web server.

In this module, you will be introduced to cookies, which enable you to store small pieces of data in the browser. You will also learn how to use cookies in server-side programs, with Node.js web servers as examples. By working with cookies, you will discover methods for implementing web authentication in web applications. Finally, in addition to cookies, you will explore an alternative approach to storing information inside browsers.

In this module, you will learn about WebSocket and RESTful APIs, two essential technologies for web development. You will explore WebSocket for real-time communication between browsers and servers, utilizing Socket.IO for practical implementation in Node.js. Additionally, you will be introduced to RESTful APIs, with a focus on various HTTP methods and their applications through a practical example involving a library system.

In this module, you will deepen your understanding of HTML forms, specifically focusing on using the POST method to handle file uploads and multi-part content in an Express web server. You will also get started with PHP, learning to write basic code, such as variables, control structures, and arrays. Finally, you will explore how PHP can be utilized to develop a RESTful server, building on an example covered in the previous module.

In this module, you will learn how to build a Multi-Page Application (MPA) using template engines and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. You will explore the EJS template engine and how to pass variables to views for dynamic content generation. Additionally, you will gain practical experience in developing a web application using the MVC framework, through a stage-by-stage development of an example stock application.
