An Introduction to Modern Web Development Concepts and Tools (Professional Practice)
An Introduction to Modern Web Development Concepts and Tools (Professional Practice)
Modern web development is not about memorizing code; it is about understanding the system you build for and mastering the tools of the trade. This course focuses on the non-negotiable foundations: how the web functions, how professionals think, and how to operate the tools that matter in real-world environments. The skills taught here are not theoretical; they are used daily in every technical role. A command of the terminal, a properly configured editor, and version control are what separate efficient professionals from struggling amateurs. This is a practical knowledge required to contribute to projects and pass technical interviews. You will be able to explain the lifecycle of a web request from a URL to a rendered page. You will configure a professional development environment in VS Code, manage your file system from the command line, and use Git and GitHub to track and share your work. This course is built for aspiring developers and computer science students seeking to build a professional foundation. It is also essential for product managers, designers, and technical writers who need to understand development workflows to collaborate effectively with technical teams. No prior coding experience is required.

JavaScript Foundations: Your First Interactive Web Page - Web Development (Professional Practice)
JavaScript Foundations: Your First Interactive Web Page - Web Development (Professional Practice)
HTML provides structure and CSS adds style, but JavaScript provides interactivity. This course teaches the foundational skills required to make web pages respond to user actions. You will learn to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM), handle events, and bring your static pages to life through practical, project-based exercises. This is where your website stops being a document and starts becoming an application. This knowledge is fundamental to all front-end development. The skills taught here are applied daily to build user interfaces, validate forms, and manage application state. Mastering DOM manipulation and asynchronous programming is a non-negotiable requirement for any modern web development role. This course provides the practical skills needed to build real-world features and succeed in technical interviews. By the end of the course, you will write modern JavaScript to select and manipulate page elements via the DOM. You will handle user events such as clicks and form submissions to create interactive experiences. Critically, you will fetch and display data from external APIs using `async/await`, a core skill for building modern applications. This course is built for learners who have a solid grasp of HTML and CSS. It is the essential next step for aspiring front-end and full-stack developers. It is also highly beneficial for UI/UX designers seeking to build interactive prototypes, and backend developers who need to understand how the front end consumes their APIs.
