Course Overview
Web & Internet Fundamentals demystifies how websites work and what happens behind the scenes when you browse the internet. This course is designed for learners who want to understand web technologies conceptually rather than become professional web developers.
You will learn how domains function, what web hosting actually means, how HTML and CSS create web pages, and how different web technologies connect to form the internet we use daily. The emphasis is on literacy—understanding enough to make informed decisions, communicate effectively with technical teams, and navigate the web environment with confidence.
This is NOT a coding bootcamp or web development career program. It provides foundational understanding suitable for anyone who works with websites in any capacity, wants to create simple sites, or simply wishes to understand the technology they use every day.
