CSSE280 - Web Development
Class Description[edit | edit source]
This class will teach you the basics of building web-based applications. You will utilize Bootstrap and Firebase. Both online and in-person versions are offered. The online version is known to have a substantial amount of busy-work and required follow-along programming videos, making it tedious even for students with prior experience with web development. The in-person version is taught by Dr. Olga Scrivner, who has replaced most of the videos with more traditional worksheets that are substantially faster to complete. It is strongly recommended to take an in-person section if it is available. View Syllabus

Advice for Students Taking CSSE 280[edit | edit source]
Final Project[edit | edit source]
You will be split into groups of three for the final project. If at least one person in your group has some web dev experience things will go much more smoothly. Use of Bootstrap and Firebase are not required for the final project, so you may use other frameworks and hosting services if desired.
