About

About the course

Course content

This course allows the students practice and further improve their technical skills in Web development, Web design, and project management. The students will explore and document a real-world issue, explore possible technical solutions for it, develop the solutions into a minimally viable product (MVP). The students will work in groups together with a project owner to elicit requirements, design systems, learn new technologies, and develop a working Web-based application.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

Students, upon completion of this course, will know:

  • the steps required to take a project from basic idea to MVP;
  • tools and techniques for testing code in their projects;
  • strategies to minimize the carbon footprint of developed applications;
  • methods to communicate in an effective manner with product owners;
  • tools and techniques to work in a collaborative environment.
