Course Topic: Assembled Web (AW)
This course focuses on popular and emerging technologies related to what we call “the assembled web.” We are talking here about existing technology solutions that can be assembled into customized solutions for any marketplace. Some of these technologies include: open source web stacks (like LAMP and MEAN, for example), open source web content management systems (like Drupal or WordPress, for example), dependency management (like Drush and Composer, for example), libraries, frameworks, web services, SDKs, modules, themes, plug-ins, application programmer interfaces, content types, and data types within the context of creating useful, optimized, platform-agnostic user interfaces for data-driven applications.
This is a hands-on, design and development course aimed at helping students learn to plan, design, program, execute, and maintain practical, multi-user, data-driven Web applications using contemporary open source resources and approaches.
This course will be most effective for students who can work independently in a productive manner with some online and face-to-face guidance.
No programming experience is required, but familiarity with basic web building technologies is very helpful.
