Web Development: Full Stack
By F. Max Coller
About your course materials
Coller's WEB DEVELOPMENT: FULL STACK, is a hands-on introduction to web development written for both computer science majors and students taking computer science as an elective. It makes no assumptions about previous technical knowledge and the only prerequisites are familiarity with the internet and computer basics. This text represents a way for non-technical students to gain experience with the breadth of full stack web development. It builds on practical experiences but contains enough theory to create familiarity with necessary technical information. There are other textbooks available that plumb the depths of full stack web development, but most are written by technical experts for students who have programming and computer science experience. This text is more approachable, incorporating decades of teaching experience into hands-on tutorials. The most in-demand technologies (by market share) illustrate the concepts needed to understand how full stack web development works.

Assistance in navigating through new technologies. Coller's book, WEB DEVELOPMENT: FULL STACK, is the result of over 20 years of technical college teaching experience and 30 years of programming experience. However, the author still vividly remembers the overwhelming frustration and confusion caused by trying to learn a new technology. So he has written a textbook to help others work through that frustration and confusion.
Low barrier of entry: Coller’s voice and tone are welcoming and conversational. Technical jargon is minimized but explained in plain language when it is necessary for the student to know both the concept and the technical terminology. Students are encouraged and guided, not lectured or made to feel like an intellectual competition is taking place between the author and the reader.
Employability and real-life application: The full stack technologies included in the text represent those most currently in demand based on market share, with a goal of creating employability in students who complete the tutorials, exercises and projects of the book. The most recent fads in the technology stack are addressed, but not to the point of excluding the tried and true factors that make one employable.
Modularity and approachability: Each new language or topic is presented as a series of approachable tutorials incorporating the most important features, with references to additional resources with which the the ambitious or curious student may conduct further exploration.
