This course offers a comprehensive understanding of web development, concentrating on essential server-side techniques. Topics include the HTTP protocol for browser-server communication, various methods of interaction between browsers and servers, and approaches for web application development.
Students will gain hands-on experience in web server development using Node.js. The course will cover related browser-side techniques such as utilizing HTML forms, structuring data with JSON, and asynchronous JavaScript programming using promises. Additionally, students will explore AJAX for server communication and different web application architectures, including Single Page Applications (SPAs), Multi-Page Applications (MPAs), RESTful APIs, and MVC architecture. The curriculum also introduces web authentication, cookie management, and real-time communication using WebSockets. Throughout the course, students will engage in practical programming exercises, culminating in the development of a multi-player game project. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to apply the technologies and skills they have acquired to create engaging and comprehensive web applications.
In this module, you will learn the fundamental HTTP process, which isessential for understanding browser-server communication. You will also discover how to build a web server using Node.js. Given the significant role of JSON in this communication, we will provide a brief introduction to it at the beginning of the module. Additionally, the module will conclude with a discussion on using HTML forms for sending information to the server.

In this module, you will learn how to use JavaScript promises and their associated programming techniques. You will apply these promises with AJAX, a method for acquiring server resources asynchronously. Next, you will be introduced to Single Page Applications (SPAs) and Multi-Page Applications (MPAs), two different approaches to building web applications. You will gain hands-on experience by exploring an example of building an SPA using AJAX and a Node.js web server.

In this module, you will be introduced to cookies, which enable you to store small pieces of data in the browser. You will also learn how to use cookies in server-side programs, with Node.js web servers as examples. By working with cookies, you will discover methods for implementing web authentication in web applications. Finally, in addition to cookies, you will explore an alternative approach to storing information inside browsers.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
