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! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones. In this course, we will learn the basic tools that every web page coder needs to know. We will start from the ground up by learning how to implement modern web pages with HTML and CSS. We will then advance to learning how to code our pages such that its components rearrange and resize themselves automatically based on the size of the user’s screen. You’ll be able to code up a web page that will be just as useful on a mobile phone as on a desktop computer. No “pinch and zoom” required! Last but certainly not least, we will get a thorough introduction to the most ubiquitous, popular, and incredibly powerful language of the web: Javascript. Using Javascript, you will be able to build a fully functional web application that utilizes Ajax to expose server-side functionality and data to the end user.

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! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones. The course covers fundamental Javascript programming concepts, starting with variables, data types, operators, and control flow mechanisms. It will then teach learners about object-oriented programming in Javascript, object creation using literals and constructors, prototypes, and the intricacies of the 'this' keyword. After which, the course goes into the power of Javascript arrays, using namespaces and IIFEs to prevent variable collisions, and discussion of closures and their use cases in Javascript programming. After covering the fundamental Javascript programming concepts, the course transitions into building dynamic and interactive websites by using Javascript and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to interact with the Document Object Model (DOM), handle user events, and dynamically update web page content. The course will also talk about the HTTP protocol, different HTTP request methods, and how to work with JSON data. Building on these skills, learners will gain practical, hands-on experience by converting the restaurant website into a dynamic single-page application (SPA) powered by Javascript and AJAX.
