Part I
Construct#
Construct is about building the first working version of the course project. The goal is not to create the final architecture immediately, but to make a concrete baseline that can later be inspected, stressed, and changed.
This part also introduces AI-assisted development as a practical force in modern web work. Fast development can be useful for prototypes, but it can also create hidden cost if the result is hard to understand, test, deploy, or modify. Alongside the project work, we consider what scalability means and how the architecture of the web shapes scalable application design.
