This course provides an introduction to web application development through the Jamstack (Javascript, application programming interfaces [APIs], and Markup) approach. Jamstack is a development architecture for modern website and application development that is increasingly popular due to performance, reliability, scalability, and security advantages. This course focuses on learning and implementing key aspects of the Jamstack approach, including pre-built HTML markup created with static site generators, client-side JavaScript, the use of APIs for back-end data and content, and automated deployment workflows. While specific frameworks and services are used in project work, the course examines how they align with Jamstack architecture principles and how they relate to alternative tools in the Jamstack landscape.
