Advanced JavaScript Full-Stack Development

This capstone unit integrates advanced JavaScript language features, modern front-end frameworks, and server-side development practices. Students will apply prototypes, classes, modules, Node.js services, streams, database schemas, and component lifecycle techniques to build, debug, and secure full-stack web applications in preparation for portfolio work or further specialization.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze and apply prototype- and class-based inheritance, constructors, dynamic imports, and module patterns to design reusable JavaScript abstractions and composable components
• Demonstrate the ability to build, test, and debug Node.js server applications using streams, buffers, filesystem APIs, the REPL, and the Express application generator to serve views and modular routes
• Apply database integration and authentication principles by designing Mongoose schemas and implementing secure user registration and data-handling workflows
• Evaluate and implement component-based UI patterns across React, Vue, and Svelte—managing lifecycle hooks, state changes, computed/watch properties, slots, and styling—to produce modular, maintainable front-end components
