We'll use the Raspberry Pi Pico and will write code both in MicroPython and C. For using MicroPython on the Pico, follow the instructions on relevant instructions on docs.find-santa.eu.
If you don't own a MicroPython compatible device and still want to practice at home, you can use the Wokwi RP Pico simulator.
We dedicate four sessions to this topic. After those fourse sessions you'll have to write a small website which you'll present the week after Easter.
Start by setting up a mini development environment. We can either stick to replit or use a local installation to speed up development on our own machine. When going for the latter approach, I suggest using VSCodium as our editor. Consult Introduction to VSCodium to get started with this editor.
We genereally distinguish two different kinds of graphics formats: raster graphics and vector graphics. For our purposes, it is enough to understand which advantages and disadvantages each of them has to decide which ones to chose in different use cases on the web. For raster graphics, png – Portable Network Graphics is likely the best choice, although alternatives like jpeg and gif also work in many cases. For vector graphics, I recommend using svg – Scalable Vector Graphics files.
For study purposes, please use the Getting started with the Web, a tutorial by mdn, probably the best resource on web development. Alternatively, watch Learn HTML – Beginner's Course, a four hour web development video tutorial.

Please note that the above schema MAY be subject to a grading curve for individual tests or assignments.
| 50% | written test (paper) - must be passed |
| 50% | web programming project (teams of max. 2 students, team grading) |
| participation | contributions are rewarded with a "+"for students with a positive grade, each " +" improves the
average term grade by 0.1
(10 + improve one full grade)

To avoid plagiarism and prevent cheating, all grades (including tests, projects and assignments) require a short oral defense to be valid.
