Web software development

Individual course

This free online course will teach you what web applications are, how they function, and how to build them with JavaScript and Deno, a modern runtime from the developers of Node.

The focus in the course is on designing, implementing, and testing server-side web applications. Along the way, you’ll also learn to deploy applications to cloud environments, and learn the basics of building client-side functionality of web applications.

After completing this course, the student understands

  • what web applications are, how they function, and how they are constructed.
