Introduction to web development and programming

Max amount of FITech students: 300

This course is only available for persons without a valid study right to a Finnish university or university of applied sciences.

The course teaches how to build a simple online service step-by-step.

The beginning of the course focuses on browsers and web pages. This knowledge is then extended to include programming in the browser (often called front end). We then further extend this knowledge and use it to build simple online services (often called back end). We cover topics related to building modern online services: storing data on the server, asynchronous communication, and web development in general.
