In this course, students will learn to combine computer code with graphic design to create their own websites. No programming experience is necessary; students begin with the concept of syntax and character encoding. They will become familiar with computer networks and file systems as they build standards-based web pages from the ground up using HTML and CSS. Students should be prepared to flex their creative muscles: coding topics will be balanced with a discussion of good visual design and layout, including digital graphics production and manipulation. They will also explore non-technical topics such as anonymity, intellectual property & copyright, journalism, social media, and yes: memes. This course provides the necessary foundation for students who want to continue on to contemporary web/mobile app development.
Grade requirement: Open to all qualified SD students.
Self-study and homework required:
2-5 hours per class meeting.
