HTMX & Hypermedia

Build modern user interfaces with hypermedia. Master AJAX, CSS transitions, and WebSockets directly in HTML without complex JavaScript build tools.

Rediscover HTML's power by mastering Hypermedia systems. Use extended attributes to drive dynamic server interactions, replacing complex SPAs with maintainable, server-rendered architectures. This course explores REST and HATEOAS principles, enabling you to build interactive UIs with minimal JavaScript complexity. You will learn to sync state between server and client without JSON APIs or client-side libraries, significantly reducing technical debt while improving application maintainability and performance.
