This 7-­‐week, 2-­‐point course will provide a framework for learning how to develop impactful and socially relevant web applications, with emphasis on presentation of freely-­‐available datasets. It will focus on server-­‐side programming using JavaScript, Node.js with Express, the PostgreSQL database, and cloud-­‐based hosting, and will lightly touch on front-­‐end web development. Students will learn to navigate New York City’s and The United States’ official datasets. The course will be a mixture of lecture and in-­‐class collaborative coding, with weekly programming and reading homework.
