This course adds server-side (back-end) web skills to the client-side (front-end) web skills students have developed in the preceding course, with the goal of developing web apps that include a server-side component to support presentations of stories and large data sets for media organizations. Web scraping is also covered to enable journalists to gather open data from the web for analysis and/or informing audiences.
