Overview of the additional extensions proposed for Javascript. Programming exercise in Javascript Server side languages. Introduction to PHP. Node.js: general features, tools and hosting. Creation of a Web Server (Hello, World) in node.js Basic forms. Creation of new modules in Node.js. Management of requests and responses http. Access to the file system. Events and listeners. Sending emails. Programming tutorial with Node.js: creation of a static server in node.js

The course aims to provide the basic theoretical and methodological notions for the design and development of web applications and mobile applications. To this purpose, after an introduction to Java language programming, the main methodological and architectural issuesrelated to mobile applications are presented. The study of mobile applications is specialized by focusing on Android applications, for which the development and execution environments and the design and programming techniques necessary for their realization are presented. In the second part of the course the architectural and design issues related to web applications are presented, with brief introductions to some basic technologies, such as HTML, Javascript, CSS. Finally, node.js is presented as an environment for the creation of client-server web applications.

Teaching Methods

Theoretical lectures are alternated with some practical lessons aimed at the development of prototypes of web and mobile applications.
