Curriculum

We will have an Introduction Workshop during the semester, as well as 4 Coding Meetups, where you will have the chance to work on the project with your group and where certain individual topics will be explained. Below you can see when the dates are and what we have planned for each day. You'll also see which Udemy Sections you should have watched to be well on time and well prepared for any Coding Meetup. You don't have to watch the entire Udemy course, so we've taken out the more irrelevant topics for this project. However, it is still helpful to watch the whole course if you have the time.

22.11.2023 - Introduction Workshop You don't have to watch any sections by now. We will give you a basic introduction to web development and cover the basics of HTML with you. You will also be able to create your first website, so don't forget your laptop!

29.11.2023 - 1. Coding Meetup By now you should have watched section 1,2 and 6-10 of the Udemy course. Create a sketch of how you want your website to look and what you want to happen when users click and interact with certain elements. You can also create an index.html file and start to build a basic structure. Make sure you build a sensible layout and don't put divs everywhere. If you have already started with the CSS part of the Udemy course, you can also create a style.css file and start styling your website and its layout with flexbox or grid for example.

13.12.2023 - 2. Coding Meetup By now you should have watched section 14-18 of the Udemy course. Finish your work with CSS and hardcode the site without the API technology. You will logically not have data and shows/movies available yet, so just use divs representing the shows/movies, for example, and display them the way you want the shows to be displayed later.

10.01.2024 - 3. Coding Meetup By now you should have watched section 20, 24 and 25 of the Udemy course. Start with JavaScript. Use the technology from the DOM and create elements through JavaScript rather than directly in HTML. Give the elements classes or IDs to link them directly to CSS. You don't need the API here yet.

24.01.2024 - 4. Coding Meetup By now you should have watched section 27 and 28 of the Udemy course. Finish your project. Add the most important element. The API. We will also discuss the localStorage topic together. If you are already finished and still have time, you can also deal with extra features today.
