Upon successful completion of the course the student is able to
* explain the software engineering profile and the rough contents of its courses
* communicate the components and phases of software engineering (software development)
* create simple program logic and write the code in JavaScript
* create web pages that contain simple functionality implemented with browser programming
* use the needed development tools and publish the pages on a web server.
* use technical documentation while needing information or help.

The course gives a broad view on Software Engineering and software development, and the brief basics of programming:
* software engineering; goals, main concepts, and challenges
* main phases/disciplines in software engineering processes
* few methods and models visualizing the software development work in practice
* main principles for creating technically sound web pages (with HTML5 and CSS)
* development environment and publishing the web site on a web server
* all linkages between the web page and the JavaScript program
* designing and implementing simple programming logic (with JavaScript, i.e. ECMAScript)
* using following features of the programming language: selection and repetition structures, arrays and functions
* the technical documentation needed in basic web development and the ways to utilize it

Individual activity is emphasized. Students will also learn how to learn technical issues. That must be the main goal of the first semester studies.

a. Contact course: 56h contact hours (short lessons, guided individual and group work labs, exams) and 78h of independent work in labs or at home OR
b. Recognition of prior learning (RPL): Exam that profoundly covers the course learning goals and presenting and professionally explaining own web application that exceeds the course requirements.
