Web Development Foundations (WDF) explores Internet history, coding principles, and languages. WDF teaches HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so students can design, create, and breathe life into visually appealing web pages. Upon completion of this course, students will have a solid understanding of computer science principles and the ability to code interactive web pages from scratch.

Students will

  • Learn the historical context of how computers, code, and the web came to be and use markup language to write and code their own informational document
  • Implement design concepts of unity, color theory, white space, and typography to create a professional-looking web page that works on any device with a web browser
  • Write JavaScript to breathe life into their web pages by leveraging computer science concepts including sequencing, selection, looping, state management, boolean arithmetic, and event-driven development to create web applications that respond to user behavior
