With its holistic study of core language investigation, to direct practical application, students will learn to effectively implement server-side scripting to leverage the power of web servers and database architecture strategies. Students will gain experience with database integration to fully bring to life front-end frameworks through the development and implementation of content management system project which will connect front-end user interfaces to backend data sources.
