SDEV 250 - JavaScript/TypeScript for Inter-Process Development
PREREQUISITES: SDEV 140 - Introduction to Software Development OR CSCI 101 - Computer Science I
PROGRAM: Software Development
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2024
This course introduces students to JavaScript and TypeScript with a focus on inter-process communication, system-level programming, and back-end data handling. Students will explore how JavaScript and TypeScript can support processes beyond web development, such as inter-process communication (IPC), data parsing, network protocols, and serverless architecture. This course covers the creation of JavaScript applications, TypeScript-based services, and asynchronous programming, enabling students to build scalable, modular software systems. Students will create a final project demonstrating a multi-process application or service-oriented architecture using JavaScript and TypeScript.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Compare and contrast various inter-process communication (IPC) techniques, including sockets, shared memory, and message queues.
- Implement asynchronous programming including event loops, promises, and async/await.
- Implement inter-process data handling through streams, buffers, and file I/O.
- Construct multi-process applications that manage child processes and utilize inter-process communication.
- Implement worker threads to enable multi-threaded, parallel processing within a single process.
- Analyze the performance and memory management of inter-process applications, identifying areas for optimization and debugging.
- Implement secure data exchange between processes, using encryption, authentication, and static typing to ensure data integrity.
- Develop applications utilizing sockets and message queues to create real-time, bidirectional communication across processes.
- Utilize microservices to allow processes to communicate through APIs or message brokers.
- Evaluate tools and strategies for testing and debugging asynchronous and multi-process applications.
