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.
Skills
Students, upon completion of this course, will be able to:
- independently use modern Web technologies to solve real-life issues related to Web development, including prototyping, documentation writing, programming, project testing, and logging and analyzing data;
- communicate with product owners and potential users about their wishes and needs, iterating on existing prototypes;
- outline a specification for the project, and document project code and design;
- divide project tasks in a balanced way among the group members;
- handle conflicts and issues between group members and product owners.
Competence
Students, upon completion of this course, will know how to:
- design and develop a realistic Web-based application, from start to finish;
