On February 21, 2025, the Data Science Club and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering - Data Science (CSD) at KG Reddy College of Engineering & Technology held a one- day workshop on Full Stack Web Development for 63 students from III-CSE-Data Science. The workshop was led by Mr. A.S. Arun Kumar, a developer and team lead at Levitica Technologies, Hyderabad. The workshop's goal was to teach students how to build responsive and interactive web interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as server-side programming with Node.js, Express.js, and Django. It also covered databases like MySQL and MongoDB and the deployment of applications using platforms like AWS, Firebase, or Vercel
The workshop began with an introduction to web development and HTML, followed by explanations of JavaScript and CSS for front-end development. The resource person also discussed back-end development using server-side languages such as Python and Node.js frameworks. Other topics included Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) for connecting Java applications to relational databases and an introduction to GitHub for version control and collaboration After the lecture sessions, students participated in a hands-on session where they individually installed the necessary software and developed applications like registration forms. The resource person and his team clarified students' doubts during this time. The workshop concluded with a question-and-answer session and a vote of thanks from the Head of the Department, Mr. L. Govardhan, and Mr. Bande Ganesh
Impact on the students:
The workshop had a significant impact on the participating students, equipping them with practical skills and knowledge to become job-ready in the field of web development. Through hands-on projects, students gained real-world experience and the ability to build dynamic web applications from scratch. They learned to design, implement, and optimize relational and non-relational databases and how to build secure and scalable APIs for web applications. The workshop also provided students with experience in deploying web applications to production environments efficiently. Furthermore, the introduction to GitHub and its features taught them about version control, which is essential for collaborative software development. One student, Pavan Sai, even used GitHub to save his skill development code and share it with friends, demonstrating the immediate application of the learned concepts
