Discover the different ways to define and use functions in JavaScript, where they are considered first-class members. Explore the features of arrays in JavaScript, as well as their role in functions. Error handling fundamentals, rest parameters, and global and local variables are also covered.

Given JavaScript is an object-oriented language, objects are a crucial topic for any student. Explore topics ranging from object definitions to object methods and constructors while also touching upon what a "class" is in JavaScript.

• Functions are first-class members of the JavaScript language and

• this means that they can be used in ways which are not possible in
• other programming languages. Explore the use of functions as
• arguments to other functions, as return values of functions and
• also how functions can be linked with specific objects when
• invoked.

• This course covers the topic of closures - the bundle of a

• function along with its enclosing environment - and its
• implications on factors such as variable scopes and function
• references. It also examines the use of prototypes for the common
• properties of objects and how they can be used to implement
• inheritance

Explore how database systems allow data to be stored and updated in a robust manner, and queried conveniently using the SQL language and how MySQL can be installed and used from different operating environments.

Explore how tables in MySQL can be created to match entities and relationships as modeled in an E-R diagram and how MySQL allows the specification of different types of columns and column constraints.

Explore how data in MySQL tables can be queried using classic SQL syntax and also, how common types of queries tie closely to common patterns in table design.

Explore how joins can be used to combine data from different relations in meaningful ways and also, why joins are such a powerful and ubiquitous concept in data analysis.

Explore how grouping and aggregation operators can be used to analyze groups of rows rather than just individual rows and also, how filtering operations can be performed on such groups.

Explore how indexes work to speed up query execution, and also, how views can be used to abstract complex queries in a convenient fashion. Examine how these constructs make the most sense when applied to well-designed relations that comply with the normal forms in database design.

Explore how triggers can be used to react to specific conditions in your database, and also, how stored procedures can be used to achieve code reuse and code composition of SQL commands.

Explore how transactions can be used to execute groups of commands in an all-or-nothing fashion, and also, how locks can be a great tool for regulating table access in situations involving multiple clients accessing the database simultaneously.

Explore the concept of web frameworks and how they can speed up development of web applications. Then, examine the Django framework, which includes several built-in options to help developers code up various useful features in web applications.
