Web Development Online Course Lesson 1: How the Web Works (2.5 hours) In this first lesson, you will learn basic concepts regarding the internet, browsers, HTML, and how all those elements fit together. You’ll start using HTML (HyperText Markup Language) to format content for webpages. Then you’ll get to see the mechanics of how the web works: HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) via GET and POST requests. In the first problem set, you will get a simple website up and running with the Google App Engine platform. Lesson 2: Forms and Input (4 hours) In this second lesson you will learn about forms, a very common way to obtain input from users. Lesson 3: Databases (6 hours) You learned about getting all sorts of information from users in the previous lesson, but what do you do with it once it’s in your hands? Lesson 4: User Accounts and Security (6 hours) In this fourth lesson, you will learn the fundamentals of authentication and security, which are very relevant topics in almost any web application built today.
