Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce basic technologies used in web development. The course gradually introduces technologies and how they are used for different parts of web application architecture. In particular, it covers the static parts of the web, i.e. HTML and CSS, and the dynamic parts on the client (browser) side, i.e. JavaScript and the technologies derived from it. On the server side, it also includes technologies for creating dynamic webs and applications (Node.js, Express) and elementary principles and use of databases (SQL, NoSQL databases). Students will also be introduced to the ways in which the different parts communicate with each other (REST API principles).
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course, student will be able to: - understand how the webpages and browsers work, - work with technologies for creating static webpages - HTML and CSS, - understand basic technologies for creating dynamic websites - client-side (JavaScript) and server-sie (Node.js, Express), - understand principles of designing complex application composed from frontend and backend part, he will also understand different ways of communication between those parts.
