This weekly lecture series, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at complete beginners who are interested in web development, as well as seasoned professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.<br><br>Front-end web development is all about making code that runs in the browser (versus code that runs on the server). We'll be focusing on writing interactive web applications, taking designs and turning them into code, and much more.<br><br>This time around, I plan on switching the order of the classes. Early on - within the first few weeks - we'll learn how to use the command line and version control systems, and then jump into learning about JavaScript. We'll leave the more design-oriented, CSS-heavy courses for later. This reordering might make the material in the first few weeks seem a bit daunting, but I encourage you to challenge yourself!<br><br>This is the first class of a new series of classes. If you or your friends have been waiting to jump in from the very beginning, this is the class to take - so spread the word. We'll cover the very basics:<br>- Explaining "front-end" vs. "back-end"<br>- Explaining web apps vs. web sites<br>- Discussing tools of the trade<br>- Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior<br>- Writing a basic HTML page<br>- Styling the page with basic CSS<br>- Adding a small amount of JS<br>- Explaining the role of front-end development as a job and career<br><br>The class starts on Monday, January 5 at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive EARLY, as the class will probably fill up very fast.<div>
