Web Development

Web development covers both front-end (browser) and back-end (server) technologies.

Simple, static websites are developed using HTML and CSS, with a little Javascript for interactivity. More complex web ‘apps’ are developed using server-side scripting in PHP, connected to MySQL databases, and with HTMX as a front-end UI library.

Our courses cover the following areas:
