Practical Guide to Web Development

Get a Full Understanding of the Web Development Process and Technologies Used on the Internet Today

The Web development arena is vast and it is ever growing. There is no way for any one person to know it all. There is one critical skill and that is a practical understanding of the whole space. It doesn't matter if you are a designer, a content author or perhaps someone that has been tasked to bring the whole thing together. With the knowledge you get from this course, you will have an understanding of all the major areas of Web development and the highly important touch points.

I start you off with some of the key concepts of successful web design. I know you are probably thinking that you got that design thing down and I don’t want to impugn your abilities in any way. I am sure you know how to make things look good but do you know what makes a website successful? Do you know what will get your customers more sales? The concepts that I will teach you will do just that.

I start you off by going over user interfaces and user experience and explain why these concepts really matter. I then get into some of the rules of good web design and even go over some of the most common mistakes and how to avoid making them. I then finish off the key concepts by going over that all too important subject of getting high up on the search page results.

Next, I go over web security and how it has become a major topic of discussion and concern for anyone involved with Internet technologies.

The last section goes over all of the technologies that make up websites and applications. By the end of this course, you will know just enough about all of the main technologies used today to be able to walk and talk with the big boys. You will be able to work with developers and know if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes or if they are telling you the truth.

All of this will give you the necessary skills to see a web design project from concept all the way to completion .
