This module will dive into full-stack web development concepts, starting with an understanding of JavaScript HTTP methods and their roles in client-server interaction, along with how to connect a frontend application to a backend server using Mongoose ORM. Learners will be exposed to the architecture of a full-stack application and the vital role APIs play in facilitating communication between client and server sides. Subsequent assignments introduce creating and managing multiple VueJS components, dynamically re-rendering the UI based on passed data, and the use of emits for data exchange. The module concludes with an exploration of Test-Driven Development (TDD), including the testing pyramid and the identification of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
