About This Course

Welcome

This course is an in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of Web Development. We will be covering a variety of topics ranging from basic programming technologies to designing and hosting custom web pages.

Before we dive into the core topics of these courses, we'll first need to get your computer (your local environment) set up for writing and running code in JavaScript and Ruby. You'll be running code via a terminal on your computer, so we'll also go through the basics of the command-line interface.

After this, we'll introduce Git, GitHub and the concept of version control, essential for storing your prograrmming work in this course and beyond.

With these topics covered, we will dive into the technologies behind every modern website - HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These three are best understood in conjunction, so the goal is to introduce just enough of each that you will be able to use them together to build websites entirely from scratch.

At the end of this course, you'll have the skills you need to build and host websites for whatever you'd like!
