Intro to web development

Get started with web development.

Web Development

Web development is a multifaceted discipline, requiring technical competence, an eye for design, and an understanding of how users will interact with a system.

Experienced developers not only write code, but also work with people to determine what needs to be done, and the best way to accomplish it.

The sites and applications you're familiar with are the result of countless hours from teams of people.

But the complex systems are composed of many pieces that can be learned as you go, and improved over time.

Feel free to draw inspiration from existing design.
