Introduction to

Web Programming
 Overview of Web Programming
Concepts and Principles

What is Web Programming?

Web programming involves the creation of web applications, websites, and
web services using programming languages, technologies, and tools. It enables us
to interact with web browsers and web servers, delivering dynamic content and
functionality to users.

Key Concepts in Web Programming:

●​ Client and Server: Web programming often involves the interaction between
clients (web browsers) and servers (web servers) through HTTP.
●​ HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): The standard markup language for
creating web pages.
●​ CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): Used for styling and formatting web content.
●​ JavaScript: A clientside scripting language that adds interactivity to web
pages.
●​ ServerSide Languages: Such as PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java, used for
serverside processing and generating dynamic content.
●​ Databases: Often used to store and retrieve data for web applications.
Web Development Roles:

●​ Frontend Developer: Focuses on creating the user interface and user

experience (UI/UX) of a website.
●​ Backend Developer: Works on serverside logic, databases, and application
functionality.
●​ Fullstack Developer: Proficient in both frontend and backend development.
 Introduction to Web Development Tools and
Technologies

Web Development Tools:

●​ Text Editors: Tools like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom for writing
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
●​ Integrated Development Environments (IDEs): IDEs like WebStorm and
PhpStorm provide a comprehensive environment for web development.
●​ Version Control Systems: Git for tracking changes in code and collaborating
with teams.
●​ Web Browsers: Chrome DevTools, Firefox Developer Edition, and others for
testing and debugging.
Web Development Technologies:

●​ HTML: Used for structuring web content with elements like headings,
paragraphs, and links.
●​ CSS: Styles web content with properties like color, font size, and layout.
●​ JavaScript: Adds interactivity and dynamic behavior to web pages.
●​ Frontend Frameworks: Such as React, Angular, and Vue.js for building
interactive and responsive web applications.
●​ ServerSide Languages: PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js, and others for
serverside processing.
●​ Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more for data storage.
●​ Web Servers: Apache, Nginx, and others for serving web content.
Understanding ClientSide vs. ServerSide
Programming

ClientSide Programming:
Clientside programming involves scripting and code execution on the user's
web browser. JavaScript is the primary clientside programming language.
Responsibilities include enhancing user interface interactivity, form validation, and
clientside data processing. Clientside code is visible to users and can be modified or
exploited, so security considerations are crucial.

ServerSide Programming:
Serverside programming involves scripting and code execution on the web server.
Serverside languages like PHP, Python, and Java are used. Responsibilities include
processing form submissions, interacting with databases, and generating dynamic
content. Serverside code is not visible to users, enhancing security.

ClientServer Interaction:
●​ In web programming, clientside and serverside code often work together to
deliver a seamless user experience.
●​ Clientside code requests resources and interacts with the user.
●​ Serverside code processes requests, retrieves data, and generates
responses.
Example: Consider a login form on a website. Clientside JavaScript can perform
initial form validation (e.g., checking if required fields are filled). Upon submission,
the form data is sent to the server for authentication and authorization.

Understanding the basics of web programming concepts, tools, and the distinction
between clientside and serverside programming is fundamental for any web
developer. As you progress in this course, you'll delve deeper into these topics and
gain handson experience in web development.
 Internet and its Services

Overview of the Internet and its Role in

Web Development

The Internet:
●​ The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers and devices.
●​ It enables the exchange of data, communication, and access to resources
across the world.
●​ The Internet has transformed the way we live, work, and interact.

Role of the Internet in Web Development:

●​ The Internet serves as the backbone for web development and hosting.
●​ It connects web servers, clients (web browsers), and various devices.
●​ Web development involves creating and maintaining websites and web
applications accessible via the Internet.
Introduction to Web Protocols

What are Protocols?

Protocols are a set of rules and conventions that govern communication between
devices or systems. In the context of the Internet and web development, protocols
define how data is transmitted and received.

Key Web Protocols:

1. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol):
●​ HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web.y
 ●​ It defines how web browsers and web servers communicate.
●​ HTTP is used for fetching web pages, images, videos, and other resources.

2. HTTPS (HTTP Secure):

HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts data during transmission. It's
essential for secure communication, especially when handling sensitive information
like login credentials and payment details.

3. FTP (File Transfer Protocol):

FTP is used for transferring files between a client and a server. It's commonly used
for uploading website files to a web server.

4. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):

SMTP is used for sending emails It defines how email clients and email servers
communicate to deliver messages.

5. POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) and IMAP (Internet Message Access
Protocol):
POP3 and IMAP are email retrieval protocols. They enable email clients to fetch
messages from email servers.
Understanding Web Hosting and
Domain Names

Web Hosting:
●​ Web hosting is the service of providing storage space and resources for
websites and web applications on a web server.
●​ Web hosting companies offer various hosting plans, including shared hosting,
dedicated hosting, and cloud hosting.
●​ Factors to consider when choosing a web hosting provider include server
reliability, security, and scalability.

Domain Names:
A domain name is a userfriendly address that maps to the IP address of a web
server. It's used to identify websites on the Internet. Domain names consist of two
parts: the domain (e.g., google.com) and the toplevel domain (e.g., .com, .org, .net).
Domain registration is the process of acquiring and owning a domain name through
a domain registrar.
DNS (Domain Name System)
DNS is a distributed system that translates human readable domain names into IP
addresses. It plays a critical role in enabling users to access websites using domain
names. DNS records include A records (maps domain to IPv4 address) and AAAA
records (maps domain to IPv6 address).

Web Hosting and Domain Names Connection:

To make a website accessible on the Internet, a domain name is linked to a web
server's IP address using DNS records. Web hosting providers often offer domain
registration services, simplifying the process of connecting domains to hosting
accounts.

Understanding the Internet and its services, web protocols, web hosting, and domain
names is fundamental for web developers and anyone involved in web development
projects. These concepts form the basis for creating, hosting, and accessing
websites and web applications on the World Wide Web.
Lecture Title: Operation of the Web

ClientServer Architecture and Communication

ClientServer Model:
●​ The World Wide Web operates on a clientserver architecture.
●​ In this model, there are two key roles: the client and the server.
●​ Client: The client is typically a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) or a
mobile app that requests and displays web content.
●​ Server: The server hosts web content, processes requests, and sends
responses back to the client.

Communication Flow:
●​ Clients initiate communication by sending requests to servers.
●​ Servers process the requests and send back responses containing the
requested data.
●​ This requestresponse cycle forms the basis of web communication.
HTTP Request and Response Cycle

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): HTTP is a protocol used for exchanging data
between a client and a server. It is the foundation of web communication.

HTTP Request:
●​ When you enter a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in a web browser's
address bar and press Enter, the browser sends an HTTP request to the
server specified in the URL.
●​ The request typically contains information such as the requested resource
(e.g., a web page), headers, and any additional data (e.g., form submissions).
●​ Common HTTP request methods include GET (retrieve data), POST (submit
data), and more.
o

HTTP Response:
●​ Upon receiving an HTTP request, the server processes the request and sends
back an HTTP response.
●​ The response includes the requested data, response status (e.g., success or
error), and headers.
●​ The server's response may contain HTML content, images, CSS, JavaScript,
or other resources required to render a web page.
Status Codes:
HTTP responses include status codes that indicate the outcome of the request.
Common status codes include 200 (OK, request successful), 404 (Not Found,
resource not available), and 500 (Internal Server Error, serverside issue).

Basics of Web Servers and Web Browsers

Web Servers:
●​ A web server is software or hardware that stores and serves web content.
●​ It listens for incoming HTTP requests, processes them, and sends back HTTP
responses.
●​ Common web server software includes Apache, Nginx, Microsoft IIS, and
others.
●​ Web servers are responsible for hosting websites and web applications.

Web Browsers:
●​ A web browser is a client application used to access and display web content.
●​ Popular web browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft
Edge, and Safari.
●​ Browsers interpret HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to render web pages.
●​ They also manage user interactions such as clicking links, submitting forms,
and handling cookies.

Rendering Web Pages:

●​ When a browser receives an HTML response from a server, it parses the
HTML document, fetches additional resources (e.g., CSS, JavaScript,
images), and renders the web page.
●​ The rendering process includes laying out content, applying styles, executing
scripts, and displaying the final page.
Understanding the clientserver architecture, HTTP request and response cycle, and
the roles of web servers and web browsers is essential for anyone involved in web
development. These concepts form the basis of web communication and the delivery
of web content to users.
Lecture Title: Addressing of Web
Documents

Introduction to URLs (Uniform Resource Locators)

What is a URL?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a string of characters used to identify and
access resources on the World Wide Web. It serves as the web address for locating
web documents, files, and resources. URLs provide a standardized way to specify
the location of a resource on the Internet.

Components of a URL:
A URL consists of several components, including:
1. Scheme (Protocol): Specifies how the resource should be accessed (e.g.,
http:// or https:// for web pages).
2. Domain (or Host): Identifies the web server where the resource is hosted
(e.g., www.example.com).
3. Port (optional): Specifies the port number for communication (e.g., :80 for
HTTP).
4. Path: Specifies the file or directory path to the resource on the server (e.g.,
/folder/file.html).
5. Query (optional): Provides additional parameters for the resource (e.g.,
?id=123).
6. Fragment (optional): Points to a specific section within a resource (e.g.,
#section).

Examples of URLs:
http://www.example.com/index.html
https://www.example.com:443/blog/article.html
ftp://ftp.example.com/files/document.pdf
Relative and Absolute Addressing of Web
Documents

Relative Addressing:
Relative addressing refers to specifying the path to a resource relative to the current
location (directory) of the referring document. It is commonly used when linking to
resources within the same website or directory. Relative URLs do not include the full
domain or scheme.
Example: If you are on the page http://www.example.com/blog/index.html and
you want to link to a page in the same directory, you can use a relative URL
like "page.html."

Absolute Addressing:
Absolute addressing specifies the complete URL, including the scheme, domain, and
path to the resource. It is used when linking to resources outside of the current
website or when specifying an exact location.

Example: To link to a resource on a different domain, you would use an

absolute URL like "http://www.example2.com/resource.html."
Working with Directories and File
Structures

Directory Structure in Web Development:

●​ Web projects often have a directory structure that organizes files and
resources.
●​ A common structure includes folders for HTML files, CSS stylesheets,
JavaScript scripts, images, and other assets.
●​ Organizing files into directories helps maintain a clean and structured project.

Path Navigation:
●​ When specifying paths in URLs or referencing resources within web pages,
understanding the directory structure is essential.
●​ Use ".." to navigate up one level in the directory hierarchy and "/" to separate
directories and files.

Example: If you want to link to a stylesheet in the parent directory, you can use the
path "../styles/style.css."

Best Practices:
●​ Keep directory and file names lowercase and use hyphens or underscores to
separate words (e.g., "mypage.html" or "images/myimage.jpg").
●​ Avoid using spaces or special characters in file and directory names, as they
can lead to issues with URLs.

Understanding URLs, relative and absolute addressing, and working with directory
structures is crucial for web developers. These concepts help in creating links,
accessing resources, and organizing files within web projects, leading to effective
web document management.
Lecture Title: HTML (Hypertext Markup
Language)

Introduction to HTML Tags and Elements.

HTML Overview:
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to
create web pages and structure their content. It consists of a set of tags and
elements that define the structure and presentation of web documents.

HTML Tags:
●​ HTML uses tags to enclose and define elements within a web page.
●​ Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., `<tag>`).
●​ HTML tags are typically paired, consisting of an opening tag (`<tag>`) and a
closing tag (`</tag>`).

HTML Elements:
●​ HTML elements are made up of HTML tags and the content they enclose.
 ●​ Elements define the structure and semantics of the web page.
●​ Example: `<p>This is a paragraph.</p>`

Structuring Web Page Content using HTML

Basic Structure of an HTML Document: Every HTML document follows a basic

structure:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<! Content goes here >
</body>
</html>
```
Head Section: Contains metadata about the document, such as the title and links to
external resources like stylesheets and scripts.

Body Section: Contains the visible content of the web page, including text, images,
links, and other elements.

Adding Headings, Paragraphs, Lists, and Images

Headings (\<h1> to \<h6>): Headings are used to define the structure and hierarchy
of content. `<h1>` is the highestlevel heading, while `<h6>` is the lowest.
Example:
```html
<h1>Main Heading</h1>
<h2>Subheading</h2>
```

Paragraphs (\<p>): The `<p>` element is used to define paragraphs of text. It

creates a line break before and after the paragraph content.
Example:
```html
<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
```

Lists (Ordered \<ol> and Unordered \<ul>): Lists are used to group and display
items in a structured manner.
Ordered lists (`<ol>`) use numbers, while unordered lists (`<ul>`) use bullets.
List items are defined with `<li>` elements.
Example:
```html
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
 <ol>
<li>First</li>
<li>Second</li>
</ol>
```

Images (\<img>): The `<img>` element is used to display images on a web page. It
requires the `src` attribute to specify the image file's source. Other attributes like `alt`
provide alternative text for accessibility.
Example:
```html
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">
```

These are the fundamental concepts of HTML, including tags, elements, and
structuring web page content. As you continue to learn web development, you'll
explore more HTML elements and their attributes to create rich and interactive web
pages.
Lecture Title: CSS (Cascading Style
Sheets)

Introduction to CSS and its Role in Web Page

Styling

What is CSS?
●​ CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used for describing
the presentation and styling of web documents written in HTML.
●​ It allows you to control the layout, colors, fonts, and other visual aspects of
web content.
●​ CSS separates content (HTML) from presentation, enhancing the flexibility
and maintainability of web pages.

Key CSS Concepts:

Selectors: CSS selectors are patterns used to select HTML elements to apply styles
to.
Properties: CSS properties define the aspects of an element you want to style, such
as color or font size.
Values: CSS properties are assigned values that specify how the element should be
styled.
Rules: A CSS rule consists of a selector and a set of property-value pairs.

CSS Syntax:
CSS rules are typically written inside a `<style>` block in the HTML `<head
style=”color:red;”>` section or in an external CSS file (linked to the HTML document).
A CSS rule consists of a selector, followed by a set of properties enclosed in curly
braces:
```css
 selector {
property1: value1;
property2: value2;
/ More properties... /
}
```

Applying Styles to HTML Elements

Selector Types:
●​ Element Selector: Selects all instances of a specific HTML element.
●​ Class Selector: Selects elements with a specific class attribute value (e.g.,
`.my-class`).
●​ ID Selector: Selects a single element with a specific ID attribute value (e.g.,
`#my-id`).
●​ Descendant Selector: Selects elements that are descendants of another
element (e.g., `parent-element child-element`).

Example:
```css
/ Element Selector /
p{
color: blue;
}

/ Class Selector /
.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
}

/ ID Selector /
#header {
font-size: 24px;
 }

/ Descendant Selector /
.menu li {
font-weight: bold;
}
```

Working with Colors, Fonts, Backgrounds, and

Borders

Color Properties:
●​ `color`: Sets the text color.
●​ `background-color`: Sets the background color.

Font Properties:
●​ `font-family`: Specifies the font family.
●​ `font-size`: Sets the font size px or rem.
●​ `font-weight`: Controls the font weight (e.g., bold or normal).

Background Properties:
●​ `background-image`: Sets a background image.
●​ `background-color`: Sets the background color.
●​ `background-repeat`, `background-position`, and `background-size`:
Control image positioning and sizing.

Border Properties:
`border`: Sets all border properties in one declaration.
`border-width`, `border-style`, `border-color`: Control border width, style, and color
separately.
Example:
```css
/ Color Properties /
h1 {
color: red;
}

/ Font Properties /
p{
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
}

/ Background Properties /
.banner {
background-image: url('banner.jpg');
background-color: #f0f0f0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-size: cover;
}

/ Border Properties /
.box {
border: 2px solid #333;
}
```

CSS is a powerful tool for styling web pages. It allows you to control the visual
presentation of HTML elements, creating attractive and user-friendly web designs.
As you continue your web development journey, you'll explore more CSS features
and techniques to enhance your styling skills.

●​ HTML is used for structuring content, while CSS is used for styling.
●​ JavaScript adds behavior and functionality to web pages.
●​ Together, these technologies form the foundation of front-end web
development.

Woking with Variables, Data Types, and Operators

Variables:
●​ Variables are used to store and manage data in JavaScript.
●​ They are declared using the `var`, `let`, or `const` keyword.
●​ Variables can store various data types, including numbers, strings, booleans,
objects, and more.

Data Types:
JavaScript has dynamic typing, which means variables can change data types during
runtime. Common data types include:
Var x=2 or let x=2
●​ Number: Represents numeric values.
●​ String: Represents text and characters.
●​ Boolean: Represents true or false values.
●​ Object: Represents complex data structures.
●​ Array: Represents ordered collections of values.

Operators:
●​ JavaScript supports various operators for performing operations on variables
and values.
●​ Arithmetic operators (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`) perform mathematical calculations.
●​ Comparison operators (`==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`) compare values.
●​ Logical operators (`&&`, `||`, `!`) perform logical operations.
Implementing Functions and Control Structures

Functions:
●​ Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks.
●​ They are defined using the `function` keyword and can accept parameters
(inputs) and return values (outputs).
●​ Functions are essential for structuring code and promoting code reusability.

```javascript
// Function declaration
function greet(name) {
return "Hello, " + name + "!";
}

// Function call
var greeting = greet("Alice");
```

Control Structures:
Control structures, such as `if` statements, loops, and switch statements, are used to
control the flow of a program.
●​ `if` statements allow conditional execution of code based on a specified
condition.
●​ Loops (`for`, `while`, `do...while`) enable repetitive execution of code.
●​ `switch` statements provide multiple conditional branches.

```javascript
// If statement
if (condition) {
// Code to execute if the condition is true
}
 // For loop
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
// Code to execute in each iteration
}

// Switch statement
switch (value) {
case 1:
// Code for case 1
break;
case 2:
// Code for case 2
break;
default:
// Code for other cases
}
```

JavaScript is a powerful language for creating dynamic and interactive web pages.
By understanding variables, data types, operators, functions, and control structures,
you'll have the foundation needed to build engaging web applications.

Lecture Title: Web Services

Lecture Title: JavaScript for Web

Development

Manipulating HTML Elements using JavaScript

DOM (Document Object Model):

The DOM is a representation of an HTML document's structure, which allows
programs and scripts to interact with the document's elements. JavaScript can be
used to access, manipulate, and modify HTML elements and their content through
the DOM.
Selecting Elements:
●​ JavaScript provides various methods to select HTML elements based on their
IDs, classes, tags, or other attributes.
●​ Common methods include `getElementById()`, `getElementsByClassName()`,
`getElementsByTagName()`, and `querySelector()`.

Manipulating Content:
JavaScript can change the content of HTML elements, such as text, attributes, and
styles. Methods like `textContent`, `innerHTML`, and `setAttribute()` are commonly
used for manipulation.

```javascript
// Change text content
document.getElementById('my-element').textContent = 'New Text';

// Change attribute value

document.querySelector('img').setAttribute('src', 'new-image.jpg');
```

Handling Events and User Interactions

Event Handling:
JavaScript can respond to various events, such as clicks, mouse movements,
keypresses, and form submissions. Event listeners are used to attach JavaScript
functions to HTML elements to execute when specific events occur.

```javascript
// Add a click event listener
document.getElementById('my-button').addEventListener('click', function() {
// Code to execute on button click
});
```
User Interaction:
JavaScript allows you to create interactive features, like form validation and
interactive forms. You can access user input, validate data, and provide feedback to
users.

Introduction to jQuery and Other JavaScript

Libraries

jQuery:
jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies DOM manipulation, event
handling, animations, and AJAX interactions. It provides a concise and
cross-browser-compatible syntax for many common tasks.

$('#my-element').hide();
});
```

Benefits of JavaScript Libraries:

Libraries like jQuery streamline development, reduce code complexity, and offer
cross-browser compatibility. They often come with extensive documentation and a
community of developers, making it easier to find solutions and resources.

JavaScript is a fundamental tool for creating dynamic and interactive web

applications. By mastering DOM manipulation, event handling, and exploring
libraries like jQuery, you can enhance the user experience and add rich functionality
to your web projects.
Web Page Content Coding with HTML

Creating Web Page Structures and Layouts using

HTML

HTML Structure:
●​ HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is used to structure the content of a web
page.
●​ A basic HTML document consists of an opening `<html>` tag, a `<head>`
section for metadata, and a `<body>` section for the visible content.

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-Content goes here -->
</body>
</html>
```

HTML Elements:
HTML elements define the structure and semantics of a web page.
Common elements include headings `<h1>`, paragraphs `<p>`, lists (`<ul>`, `<ol>`,
`<li>`), and div containers `<div>` for layout.
Incorporating Images, Videos, and
Other Media Elements

Images:
Use the `<img>` element to embed images in a web page.
The `src` attribute specifies the image file's source, and the `alt` attribute provides
alternative text for accessibility.

```html
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">
```

Videos:
HTML5 introduced the `<video>` element for embedding videos.
You can specify video sources using multiple `<source>` elements for different
formats and browsers.

```html
<video controls>
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="video.webm" type="video/webm">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
```

Implementing Navigation Menus and

Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks:
●​ Hyperlinks, created using the `<a>` (anchor) element, allow users to navigate
between web pages.
●​ The `href` attribute specifies the target URL.

```html
<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example.com</a>
```

Navigation Menus:
Navigation menus are typically created using lists and CSS styles.
Use `<ul>` for an unordered list and `<li>` for list items.

```html
<ul>
<li><a href="page1.html">Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.html">Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.html">Page 3</a></li>
</ul>
```

Internal Links:
To link to sections within the same page, use anchor tags with the `id` attribute.

```html
<a href="#section2">Jump to Section 2</a>
<!--... -->
<h2 id="section2">Section 2</h2>
```

HTML is the foundation of web development, allowing you to structure content,

embed media, and create navigation. By mastering these techniques, you can create
well-organized and visually appealing web pages that engage users and provide a
great browsing experience.

Project Title: "Restaurant Website"

Project Description:

In this final project, students will create a restaurant website from scratch,
incorporating the concepts and skills they've learned throughout the course. The goal
is to build a fully functional and visually appealing web page for a fictional restaurant.
This project will demonstrate their proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Project Requirements:

1. Home Page (HTML and CSS):

●​ Create an engaging landing page for the restaurant.
●​ Include a navigation menu that links to different sections (e.g., Home, Menu,
About Us, Contact).
●​ Use CSS to style the page, including fonts, colors, and layout.
●​ Incorporate images and multimedia elements (e.g., images of the restaurant,
videos showcasing the cuisine).

2. Menu Page (HTML and CSS):

●​ Design a menu page that displays various categories of dishes (e.g.,
appetizers, main courses, desserts).
●​ Include descriptions, prices, and images for each dish.
●​ Apply CSS to format and style the menu items.

3. About Us Page (HTML and CSS):

●​ Create a page that provides information about the restaurant, its history, and
its mission.
 ●​ Include images and possibly a brief video introduction.
●​ Utilize CSS for layout and styling.

4. Contact Us Page (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript):

●​ Develop a contact page with a reservation form.
●​ Collect user input for name, email, and reservation date.
●​ Use JavaScript to add form validation, ensuring that required fields are filled
out correctly.
●​ Implement a submission mechanism (e.g., display a confirmation message or
send a simulated email for demonstration purposes).

5. Responsive Design (CSS):

●​ Ensure that the website is responsive and looks good on various screen
sizes, including mobile devices and tablets.
●​ Use CSS media queries to adapt the layout and styling for different screen
widths.

6. Navigation (JavaScript):
●​ Implement smooth scrolling to navigate between sections when clicking on
menu links.
●​ Enhance the navigation menu by highlighting the current section as the user
scrolls through the page.

Project Evaluation Criteria:

The final project will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

1.​ Functionality: Does the website function as intended? Are navigation links
working correctly, and does the reservation form validate user input?
2.​ Visual Appeal: Is the website visually appealing? Does it have an attractive
design, layout, and use of images?
3.​ Responsiveness: Is the website responsive and mobile-friendly? Does it
adapt to different screen sizes?
 4.​ Code Quality: Is the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code well-structured,
organized, and properly commented?
5.​ Creativity: Are there creative elements in the design and layout of the
website, such as unique styling or animations?
6.​ Completion: Is the project complete, including all required pages (Home,
Menu, About Us, Contact) with content and styling?

This project will allow students to apply their knowledge and skills in web
programming to create a real-world web page, which can serve as a valuable
addition to their portfolios. It encourages creativity and problem-solving while
reinforcing the core concepts covered in the course.
