About this badge

This course is for students with a basic understanding of Web technology who want to learn how professional, large-scale websites are put together.

Industry terms, such as "scalability," "clustering," "server farms," and "high availability," are covered in detail. Gain a firm grasp of what each of these terms means in relation to Web systems. Also learn how application development is affected by specific demands of Web architecture.
