# Teaching Plan
# Web Foundation

The module covers a lot of technical content and this is split over 10 weekly labs. Make sure you complete _all_ lab exercises.
This teaching material covers the foundation skills required to understand the world wide web and develop software for it. You should learn this material before attempting other teaching resources such as `dynamic-websites` and `restful-apis`.

## Assessment
The materials are split into several key topics:

The assessment for this module is split into two parts:
1. Understanding the HTTP protocol that underpins the world wide web.
2. Learning about the latest version of the Hypertext Markup Language used to building structured content.
3. Applying Cascading Stylesheets to change the appearance of web pages.
4. Learning the foundations of the NodeJS programming language.
5. Data persistence using a relational database.
6. Understanding a number of tools that can be used to improve the quality of the code you write.
7. Writing automated unit tests using Jest.

1. A phase test that covers the **foundation** materials (the first 5 lectures and labs).
2. A report that covers the building and testing of your website. Both the [assignment brief](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c36DSfrTDayxBp_diN90FvYFb-MnsrMQjON6RB_R-so/edit?usp=sharing) and [grading rubric](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GWhy_fuVJMa7UASpU3xXL162iqxTHRx-wybJ5cy7930/edit?usp=sharing) can be found on CUMoodle.

The module is split into 10 lectures and labs.

1. The first 5 should be considered foundation and cover the core skills and knowledge. These will be assessed in the phase test which takes place on week 6.
2. The remainder of the lectures and labs cover the skills needed to build and test a dynamic website and this will be assessed in the practical assessment.
