Have you wondered how the web works? How to program in browsers?

Introduction to Web Development and Programming teaches step by step how to build simple online services. The beginning of the course focuses on browsers and web pages, and importantly, how to program within the browser (often called front-end). We then further extend this knowledge and use it to build simple online services (often called the back-end). Towards the end of the course we cover topics related to building modern online services: storing data on the server, asynchronous communication, and web development frameworks.

After the course you will understand:
basic principles WWW pages (HTML, CSS) and is how to create static pages
basics of event driven programming in browsers and how to create interactive pages
client-server model and how this relates to web development
how simple server-side applications are created


Prerequisites
Access to a modern web browser. The course can be completed without prior programming experience, but previous programming knowledge is beneficial.

Online course with written material and automatically assessed (individual) exercises
