About Modern Application Development 1

MAD 1 builds a working web application from the ground up: how requests are served, how data is modelled behind a web interface, and how the pieces fit together. It is the first subject where you produce something a person could use.

Topics covered

  • Web application architecture
  • HTTP, routing and templates
  • Backend frameworks and APIs
  • Data models behind an application
  • Authentication basics
  • Project structure and deployment

Where marks go: Understanding the request lifecycle end to end is what the exam probes — knowing framework syntax without that is not enough.

How to use these MAD 1 notes

  1. 1Read with the official MAD 1 course material open beside you. These notes are a second explanation, not a replacement — where they skip something, the course content is the authority.
  2. 2Work the examples yourself rather than reading the solutions. Notes you have only read feel familiar in the exam without being usable.
  3. 3Keep one condensed set for the final days before a quiz, and do not try to re-read everything.
