Course description
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.
