Software prototyping
Spring 2025
Class overview
This software prototyping (ID311) course offered in the department of Industrial Design at KAIST aims to provide students with the theoretical and practical programming background to develop software for the web. Students who take this course should be already familiar with the basics of programming and are expected to spend considerable time during the semester programming short assignments and a final project. The course objectives are 1) to teach computational thinking through programming, 2) to familiarize students with the developing environment and language for web applications (i.e. Ecmascript 6 a.k.a. JavaScript), 3) to practice with common programming paradigms such as Object-Oriented Programming, Functional Programming, and Event-Driven programming.
