course contents
The subject of this introductory course is the technological fundamentals of the web and all implementation technologies (HTML, CSS) that are important in this context. Students are introduced to the entire development process of a web application (design, wireframing, implementation, testing, operation and maintenance), with a special focus on the interface between web design and web programming.
The main focus is on omnipresent web technologies that are widely used, such as the HTTP protocol for the communication between web server and client, HTML and CSS as primary tools for the presentation aspects on the client side.
Fundamentals of Internet programming, page coding with the markup and markup language HTML, basic formatting, tables, forms, CSS fundamentals (structure of CSS files, selectors, simple formatting options, dynamic presentation effects) are taught.
Students are also taught how to create appealing websites and web applications. In addition to the technological standards, this also includes specialist knowledge from the fields:
