In the modern UI world, there are hundreds of frameworks and methodologies for building large-scale UI apps. However, most of these libraries and frameworks are based on core principles that recur across them. As UI specialists, we need to understand these fundamentals and how to apply them in building large and complex apps. This course is designed to dive one level deeper, going beyond frameworks and libraries. We are going to focus on the fundamentals of Frontend System Design using Vanilla JavaScript, the DOM, and Browser APIs, Design Patterns, and Networking Protocols.
