This course offers a comprehensive understanding of web development, concentrating on essential server-side techniques. Topics include the HTTP protocol for browser-server communication, various methods of interaction between browsers and servers, and approaches for web application development.

Students will gain hands-on experience in web server development using Node.js. The course will cover related browser-side techniques such as utilizing HTML forms, structuring data with JSON, and asynchronous JavaScript programming using promises. Additionally, students will explore AJAX for server communication and different web application architectures, including Single Page Applications (SPAs), Multi-Page Applications (MPAs), RESTful APIs, and MVC architecture. The curriculum also introduces web authentication, cookie management, and real-time communication using WebSockets. Throughout the course, students will engage in practical programming exercises, culminating in the development of a multi-player game project. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to apply the technologies and skills they have acquired to create engaging and comprehensive web applications.

In this module, you will learn the fundamental HTTP process, which isessential for understanding browser-server communication. You will also discover how to build a web server using Node.js. Given the significant role of JSON in this communication, we will provide a brief introduction to it at the beginning of the module. Additionally, the module will conclude with a discussion on using HTML forms for sending information to the server.
