Overview

Web technology is at the heart of today's entrepreneurial and innovative landscape, with emerging applications in artificial intelligence significantly influencing industry dynamics. In this unit, we delve into how individuals can effectively navigate current industry contexts, including adopting lean and agile methodologies like scrum. We aim to equip students with an understanding of, and ability to apply, knowledge about prevailing digital culture trends. Starting with the concept of the 'minimum viable product,' we explore the generation, management, and prototyping of web technology ideas within various social settings. This unit is designed to acquaint students with the tools and methods necessary for developing digital platforms in a time when those with foundational skills, for instance in Javascript and CSS, can leverage diverse technologies for creative endeavors.
