A web development class is a hands-on course that teaches you how to build, create, and maintain websites. It typically starts with the "big three" languages: HTML for structuring content, CSS for styling and layout, and JavaScript for adding interactive elements like buttons or animations. You’ll learn how to transform a blank screen into a functional site that looks good on both desktop computers and mobile phones. 

Beyond just writing code, these classes often dive into how the internet actually works. You might explore front-end development (what users see), back-end development (server-side logic and databases), and tools like Git for version control. By the end of the course, you usually walk away with a portfolio of live projects and the foundational skills needed to turn a digital concept into a reality.
