Coding the Static Restaurant Site

Overview

Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant!

The course emphasizes hands-on learning, guiding learners in creating a restaurant website. Through building the restaurant website, learners will gain expertise in requirements gathering, website design and development, responsive web design, and ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly website that works across all devices.

Coding the Static Restaurant Site

Ready for some REAL fun? This course is it! We'll go over some basics of interacting with a client when managing a web site project and then go visit a real client at their place of business (a Chinese restaurant), help the owner figure out what she wants in a site, and get acquainted with the restaurant in general. We'll spend the rest of the course building a real web site for this business from scratch and you'll get to sit next to me and watch as the site comes together.
