| Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
| Language of instruction | English |
| Abstract | Contemporary web development utilizes a technology stack that spans from back-ends to front-ends, and includes virtual server environments, document databases, back-end and front-end programming, and UI/UX design. The depth of this stack fosters separation of concern and reuse, but also amounts to a steep learning curve. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | This course introduces both theoretical and applied aspects of web engineering. It covers: - DOM, CSS, Typescript - Fronted and backend frameworks - Client-server communication - Interaction design, visualization and narrative storytelling - Security for in the context of web engineering - Desktop applications using web development techniques | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course has two main objectives: - Obtain an end-to-end (both, theoretical and practical) understanding of the foundations of web engineering. - Be able to apply these techniques in practice. While the lecture will provide the theoretical foundations for the various aspects of web engineering, the students will apply those techniques in project work that will span over the whole semester - involving different aspects of web engineering. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | The lecture slides are available for download on the course page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | To contact us please us the following email: web-foundations@ethz.ch Students should be familiar with the basics of a programming language (C, C++, Python, Java, Javascript, Typescript). The course will not teach basics of programming. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
