Learn the fundamental principles and techniques to design and develop effective Web sites. As the foundation for several advanced web courses in the BCIT School of Computing, this hands-on course provides an introduction to basic and advanced web technologies (HTTP, HTML, CSS). Students are shown how to hand code web pages according to W3C standards using HTML, style text and content with CSS, and manage files and Web sites using FTP software. Labs and exercises include an introduction to JavaScript and PHP for adding dynamic features with client-side and server-side scripting as a foundation for advanced web technologies courses. In addition, the course will provide an introduction to web interface design concepts, information architecture, and basic interactivity using web forms, and students will have an opportunity to explore social media and web analytics as they relate to web design and development. COMP 1850 is required for the Applied Web Development and Web Application Software Development Associate Certificates, as well as the CST Diploma. Successful participants will be prepared to move on to COMP 1911 JavaScript Workshop, or COMP 1920 Server-Side Web Scripting with PHP Level 1, or COMP 1950 Intermediate Web Development and Design, or COMP 1956 Creating Web Graphics with Photoshop, or COMP 2899 XML for Web Designers. By the end of COMP 1850, students will be able to design and build basic Web pages and sites. Prerequisite: COMP 1002, or equivalent knowledge of using a personal computer and file management.
