Programming Simple Web Apps

We write all our programs in this course in the context of a website. This gives as a fast way to prototype and create a user interface that we can share with a single click.

Goal

• You know the 3 languages a website is made of and what their role is.

• You know important HTML tags and what they do.

• You understand what it means that an HTML website has a tree-like structure.

Web-based apps are a good fit for this course

We build our prototypes in a web environment. A website gives us a perfect context for our application, and it allows us to display information, visualize data, and interact with the application easily. Moreover, we can share our results for everyone else to see (it's on the World Wide Web!). Thus, we need to refresh our knowledge about websites and the related languages HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
