Overview
The time we live in is a one of an endless interplay between the our physical reality and the digital. As Marc Andreessen so famously put it, “Software is eating the world”. The power of interactive digital media needs no argument in its favour given its place in almost every aspect of our lives. It augments and empowers so many of our waking life from banking, keeping up with family, to transportation, shopping, and even dating.
Designing for this world requires a dynamic medium to match its level of interactivity. Experiences are vastly more complex and nuanced. The technologies that make up the modern web is a multitude, but a handful of them represent the core building blocks of almost any website or application you’ll ever come across. These technologies no longer just power websites, but now are fundamental in native applications, prototyping, and data visualisation. The power of learning to code is the power of bringing your design to life and fully expressing the ideas you want to communicate.
Learning highlights
- At the end of this course you’ll be able to describe the architecture and functionality of the web, create a dynamic web experience using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, work with APIs to pull in dynamic content, know the basics of version control with Git, learn how to effectively pair programme, as well as the process of translating design from pixels to prototype to end product.
- Ultimately, you’ll be prepared to take the next step in more advanced web development or design prototype courses or specialisations.
