Bootcamp Highlights - Web 101

Guest post by Tabitha ByrneAt this code bootcamp, our presenters from Flux Federation took us through an intro to web development, giving attendees a chance to learn about what goes on behind the scenes when your browser loads a web page.Discussed topics included:

  • server vs client side rendering
  • going over the pros and cons of each type
  • steps taken when a web server processes a request
  • how computers talk to each other

They also mentioned that over 70% of developer jobs are web development roles, so be sure not to underestimate how useful these skills can be!After that, it was on to some practical coding, with a basic web template available to play around with using HTML, CSS and Javascript, taking the provided code and altering the content, colours and functionality.If you missed out but would still like to give these skills a shot, the repository used can be found here -> https://github.com/foneandrew/web-basics-hello-world.
