Course Description

The basis of most applications on the Web and for use on mobile devices are HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Knowing how to use these fundamental technologies to build the front end (i.e., client side)  of web applications will see you far. The course also explains how JavaScript and NODE.js can be used to build and deploy back end (i.e., server side) of web applications, thus enabling students to experience full development cycle of a complete web application.
