COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  1. It extends the foundational concepts introduced in CS50’s Introduction to Computer Science, focusing on the creation of web applications utilizing Python, JavaScript, and contemporary web technologies.

  2. The course emphasizes the principles of web programming, equipping students with the skills to design and develop dynamic, database-driven web applications. Participants will engage in practical learning with widely-used frameworks, libraries, and tools such as Django, Flask, React, and Bootstrap, while also acquiring essential competencies in both front-end and back-end development.

CERTIFICATION:

  1. Participants who fulfill all assignment criteria will receive a verified certificate upon course completion. This certificate can be included in resumes or LinkedIn profiles to highlight web development expertise.
  2. Accreditation: This course is provided by Harvard University via edX, ensuring global recognition.
  3. Portfolio Projects: As part of the course, learners will create and launch web applications, which can be incorporated into their professional portfolios.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

By the conclusion of the course, participants will possess the skills to:

  1. In Front-End Development, they will learn to design and create interactive interfaces by developing responsive websites with HTML and CSS, and enhancing user experience through JavaScript and frameworks such as React. They will also acquire advanced JavaScript skills, including asynchronous programming and the application of modern ES6+ features.

  2. In Back-End Development, learners will focus on server-side programming with Python, specifically using the Django framework to build robust web applications while understanding the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. They will also learn to integrate databases by utilizing SQL for managing relational databases and connecting them to Django applications for effective data management.

  3. The course will cover APIs and Web Services, teaching participants to use REST APIs for data exchange, including fetching and sending data between servers and clients, as well as working with third-party APIs for integration purposes. Additionally, they will learn about web security measures to protect applications from vulnerabilities such as XSS and SQL injection, and implement user authentication and authorization protocols.

  4. In the area of Web Application Deployment, learners will be equipped to host full-stack applications on platforms like Heroku or AWS, set up production environments, and manage application scaling.

  5. Finally, the course will emphasize Testing and Debugging, ensuring participants can effectively debug both client-side and server-side code, and conduct thorough testing of applications through unit and integration tests.
