How to use this section?

In short, web developers build and maintain websites and web applications. They often work for clients who are trying to get their product or service onto the web. The work is typically very project focused and involves collaborating with a team that helps to coordinate the client’s needs into the end product.

The work could involve frontend, backend, or fullstack web development. In our course we will focus on frontend development. The front end is what you see when you open any website in your browser. At a basic level, front-end developers use HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Your Udemy course also covers very important topics of the backend, like creating your own server, working with a database and authorization.

In the following we will briefly introduce HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Our intention here is not to go into every little detail there is (There have been whole books written about each of these!), but to give a broad overview of the different components and how they work together. And as a look up tool for the syntax of some main principles.

The Udemy course will go over the concepts we outlay here and lots of additional content in more detail. Use this section as an appetizer and/or as a refresher to come back to once you’ve gone through the course.
