Overview

As the web has evolved, the content we seek on it has become more and more sophisticated, moving from static information meant simply for consumption to full applications that allow a two-way interchange of information between the user and the site itself. Web-based apps have several advantages, such as instant access, automatic upgrades, and opportunities for collaboration on a massive scale. That being said, creating Web applications requires different approaches than traditional/native applications and involves using the full toolkit of web technologies available.

The web has become a fully capable platform where true applications live and have distribution on the largest open platform conceived in history. Web applications permeate our modern lives and have become essential tools in users’ daily lives to complete every kind of task from shopping for clothing, personal banking, planning the perfect vacation, or even managing your love life.

This course will give you the basic background, terminology and fundamental concepts that you need to understand in order to design and develop modern web applications. In this class, you will learn what exactly a web app is, how it’s architected, what the design patterns are for creating a successful application, and how to build your very own web app.
