What to create
A basic website
Description
This is an introduction to the organizational and collaboration techniques to be used throughout the course and a space to explore the first steps of front-end development work.
The group must produce a written description of a product (briefing) which fits in this Guide’s requirements, and proceed to develop that product. The product can be fictitious or real, meaning the beneficiary can be the students or an external institution. Some theme ideas are listed in this Guide but do not represent, by any means, subject boundaries. The students are encouraged to use their imagination and networking to find interesting project ideas to work on and exercise the web development skills related to this Guide.
