If you're interested in getting into web development, this course is the perfect place to start -- whether you're a high-schooler looking to learn a new skill, or an entrepreneur who wants to build their own website. The course encompasses everything from the basics of networks to the principles of front-end web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 

After taking this course, not only will you be comfortable learning any web technology, but you'll also have a better idea of what different technologies are out there and what you'll want to learn. You'll also become familiar with version control systems, which are a global industry standard.

Web Development: A Primer

# Software processes

Now that we have a basic idea of what goes into developing a website and what its multiple components are, we will proceed to discuss the different ways in which we can structure the development process.

A __software process__ is defined as a set of related activities that leads to the production of a software product, such as a website. The software processes we will be discussing in this chapter are all concepts that fall under professional software engineering that entails building large scale web applications. However, these are all important concepts that you should be familiar with if you are looking to take up web development professionally or eventually planning to deploy your website since they provide a methodology to the process that allows you to organize your work into logical stages.

There are several different software processes that we will discuss in this chapter; however, we will first outline the four fundamental software engineering activities that all of them must comprise of:

1) _Software specification_: Defining the intended functionality of the software and potential constraints on its operation. In the case of a starter web application, this would be the stage where you define the features you want to implement on your website.
2) _Software design and implementation_: Producing the software according to the specifications articulated. This is the stage where the actual application is developed.
3) _Software validation_: Ensuring the software does what users want it to do. During this stage, you make sure the features you wanted to implement have been implemented correctly.
4) _Software evolution_: The ability of the software to adapt with evolving user requirements. This is an ongoing stage where you continuously come up with features that you think would make your application better and implement them.
