The students shall acquire knowledge of and insight into relevant technologies and techniques used in business and industry for the development of advanced web applications. The course uses Microsoft.Net as the framework for highlighting important concepts in full-stack application development. The course will be a useful foundation for students aiming to build high-quality web solutions for their bachelor’s thesis and future careers.

Language of Instruction: Norwegian

The course builds on the courses DATA1200 (client-side programming) and DAPE/ITPE1400 Programming (Java programming) or the equivalent. It is an advantage if the students master or have taken the courses DATS/ITPE1600 Program Development and ADTE/ITPE1700 Web Programming (server-side programming) or the equivalent.
