Upon successful completion of the course, the student is able to
* explain roughly the content of the courses related to software development
* communicate the components and phases of software development
* create simple program logic and write the code in JavaScript
* implement simple web page functionality with browser programming
* use development tools and publish web functionality on a web server
* use technical documentation for information or help.

The course gives a broad view on software development, and brief basics of programming:
* software development; goals, main concepts, and challenges
* main phases/disciplines in software development processes
* development environment and publishing the web site on a web server
* linkages between a web page and a JavaScript program
* designing and implementing simple programming logic (with JavaScript)
* using following features of the programming language: selection and repetition structures, arrays, functions, very basics of objects
* the technical documentation needed in basic web development and the ways to utilize it

Individual activity is emphasized. Students will also learn how to study, which is a main goal of the first semester studies.

a. Contact course: contact hours (short lessons, guided individual and group work labs, exams) and independent work in labs or at home
b. Recognition of prior learning (RPL): Profoundly assessing the course learning goals and presenting and professionally explaining own web application that meets or exceeds the course requirements.

World class online sites, engaging learning environments and thorough materials in video, graphics, text and code.

Welcome to start learning coding! This is your first course on computer programming and you will learn it with world's most used programming language: JavaScript. After the course, you know how programs work and you can code and even publish your first programs on the web. You also can update existing services e.g. on company web pages.

We recommend studying this course at the same time with (or after) Introduction to Digital Services (to understand profoundly the web environment).

When the implementation type of the course is CONTACT, ONLINE or BLENDED it is required that the student is present during those teaching hours that are marked in the study schedule. If you are absent more than 25 %, your grade will be lowered by one. If you are absent more than 50 %, the course is failed.
