In this module, students will learn JavaScript is the default language of the web and the first universal programming language. In this module, students will dig through all the genuinely elegant parts of JavaScript, including syntax, objects, functions, inheritance, arrays, methods, etc. This module will build a solid foundation in functional and object-oriented programming using JavaScript (ES 2016) and TypeScript using Node.js. Assuming no prior programming experience on the part of the student, this module starts by focusing on the fundamentals of composing code with JavaScript. Introduction to only server based JavaScript/TypeScript is covered i.e. Node.js. Students will also learn about the syntax and structure of the language including operators and expressions, control structures, methods, and arrays using Node.

In this module, students will learn Node.js is a cross-platform, open-source server environment that can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, macOS, and more. Node.js is a back-end JavaScript runtime environment, runs on the V8 JavaScript Engine, and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting. The functionality of running scripts server-side produces dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the users web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm,[6] unifying web-application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server-side and client-side scripts.
