Welcome to the Kinu course on web development! Our project for this introductory class is to build a working job postings board, with an emphasis on student jobs.
The entire website will be built as a one-page web app using Backbone/Marionette for the front-end and CouchDB for the database and API server. These are some of the hottest web development technologies around. If you continue in this course then you will become an expert JavaScript programmer.
