Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students practical skills essential for the development of modern multi-platform (WP, iOS, Android, desktop) applications in AngularJS framework. The course covers the entire development process from initial idea and conceptual design through incremental development of the prototype up to the actual deployment of the application for each device. Students will work throughout the whole semester in teams (3 to 4 members) on the application, the concept of application will be proposed by themselves during the first weeks of the semester. Emphasis will be placed on the use of collaboration tools used in the development of real applications and agile approach to development. During the semester, each team will present the idea and concept of their application, the application prototype and complete application at the end of the semester.
Syllabus
  • Developing of application's idea and graphic concept (functional and non-functional requirements, wireframe); agile development and team collaboration tools – versioning (Github, Stash, Bitbucket, SourceTree, ...), communication (HipChat, Slack, ...), issue tracking (Redmine, JIRA, Trello, Habitica, ...), IDE (WebStorm, Brackets, Sublime, Code, ...)
  • Application architecture design (backend, frontend, 3rd party services), API design and representation of data structures (Firebase, JSON)
  • Presentation of concept and API
  • Basics of JavaScript syntax – variables, flow control (conditions, loops), functions, prototypes, closures
  • Basic principles of AngularJS framework – directives, models, controllers, services, filters, two-way binding, scoping, components, routing (ui-router), templates, built-in directives
  • Design of fullstack application in AngularJS gramework – directory structure, dependency management (npm, bower), application building (gulp), good practise patterns
  • Connecting client application to Firebase API – using js-data, Restangular, $resource; user input processing
  • Working with multimedia – RecordRTC, Videogular; Fileupload – ng-drop; authentization a authorization (Firebase auth, jwt)
  • Application prototype presentation
  • EDD (Event Driven Development) – websockets, EventHandling, $rootscope eventing; Generating mobile application – Cordova, PhoneGap, Ionic framework; Generating desktop application – Electron Framework
  • Interesting libraries – lodash, websockets, ...; projects consultations
  • Final project presentation
