More information on the content of the course

During the course, students will become familiar with the usage of some of these WEB tools such as source code editors and node.js, that let developers use JavaScript to produce dynamic web page content, Git, Github as Version Control Systems for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people with a WEB server which they will be using throughout the course. Next, they will advance on their HTML- CSS knowledge by working with very powerful tool for acquiring new and modern skills, the Bootstrap framework where students will have the ability to build a modern and mobile responsive website. Bootstrap is a free front-end framework for faster and easier web development. Bootstrap also gives the ability to build responsive, mobile-first projects.

Bootstrap includes HTML and CSS based design templates as well as optional JavaScript plugins. JavaScript is the most popular language among web developers. They will also explore and understand the p5.js JavaScript library which makes coding accessible for artists, scientists designers and educators. Also, students will learn the Angular framework which it will enable them to create Single Page Applications for WEB and Mobile WEB applications.

The goal is for students that participate in this course, after they successfully complete it, to be able to develop Web applications, or applications that are run over HTTP from a web server to a web browser and combine many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. They will learn important and up to date tools that every web developer-designer has to know!
