The document describes an internship project building a web application using AngularJS for the client-side views, Express for the server, and Node.js. The application allows users to submit queries which are passed from Angular to Express to a commerce API, with responses returned to render dynamic views. The intern gained experience with asynchronous JavaScript, Angular, Express, Node, and related tools like Balsamiq and Git.

6. HTML & Angular: Client-side
AngularJS is a JavaScript framework used to create dynamic
web apps.
Created new views using HTML & Angular’s ng-model and ng-click
directives
customerLanding.html qualifierLog.html
queryResults.html qualiferResponses.html
appDetails.html persCredReport.html
Created a new controller using Angular and JavaScript
customerLanding.js - external controller used to handle SUBMIT
($scope) and to pass query parameters ($http) to Express using
Angulars HTML Method: $http.get

7. Express & Node: Server-side
Express (web application framework for Node)
Receives requests from Angular and passes them to
Node, then returns responses from Node back to
Angular
added code to api.js - /api/custLandingQuery
Node passes request to Commerce Boarding Service
added code to ipc.js - this.custLandingQ
