Web Application Development is my current program at iLERNA (online), expected to finish in June 2026. After over a year of real production experience with Laravel and PHP, DAW lets me formalize and deepen what I already knew — understanding the «why» behind decisions I used to make by intuition.
✨ Current status
Ongoing · iLERNA (Online) · Expected completion June 2026
🐘 Object-oriented PHP and web backend
- OOP in PHP: traits, interfaces, namespaces and autoloading with Composer.
- MVC architecture: separation of concerns and scalable project organization.
- Web security: OWASP Top 10, SQL Injection, XSS and CSRF prevention.
- REST APIs: design, versioning, token authentication and OpenAPI documentation.
🟨 Modern JavaScript
- ES2020+: modules, async/await, destructuring, optional chaining and nullish coalescing.
- DOM and events: efficient element tree manipulation and event delegation.
- Fetch API: consuming REST APIs from the client without external libraries.
🎨 Semantic HTML and advanced CSS
- Semantic HTML5: article, section, nav, header, footer and their SEO and accessibility implications.
- CSS Grid and Flexbox for complex layouts without external frameworks.
- CSS variables: maintainable and consistent design systems.
🗄️ MySQL in depth
- Transactions, stored procedures and user-defined functions.
- Query optimization: EXPLAIN, indexes and avoiding the N+1 problem.
- Schema design for high-traffic web applications.
🔄 The advantage of studying with prior experience: every DAW module connects directly to real situations I lived at Euroinnova and EDUCA EDTECH. I learn the «why» behind decisions I used to make by intuition — and that completely changes the quality of learning.
