The contents of the web applications course in the 3rd semester.
- Advantages/Disadvantages of JavaScript
- General alternatives to JavaScript
- Introduction to TypeScript and differentiation from JavaScriptSetup, IDE, configuration
- Type system, union/literal types, objects
- Functions, arrays
- Interfaces, classes, generics
- Type modifier
- Migration from JavaScript
The basic programming language for web applications is JavaScript. However, this programming language has always been criticized, which affects all scripting languages, namely that it is confusing and leads to unclean programming. However, no real alternative to JavaScript has yet been established. This currently seems to be changing with the introduction of TypeScript. A well-structured type system supports structured programming and the development of scalable web applications.
Technical and methodological competence (F/M)
- Students can set up TypeScript and know the type system. In particular, students can explain the differences between JavaScript and TypeScript and know how to use them.
- Students learn how to use TypeScript by implementing their own application.
Social and communicative skills (S/K) and personal skills (S) - The students can solve assigned tasks independently and on time (reliability) and communicate and justify the solutions created (expression and demeanor).
- Students understand other people's solutions and can make constructive suggestions for improvement and deal with feedback (critical ability) as well as reflect on their own abilities and limitations (self-reflective ability).
- Ability and willingness to acquire new knowledge independently and to learn from successes and failures (learning competence and motivation).
