Yeah CS253 definitely is the greatest class ever. The problem with web development is that to even make a hello world page there are like 10 completely different and unrelated technologies you need to know. So you can know a little Python, a little HTML, and some js, but if you've never used a web framework or SQL then you're out of luck. CS253 really combines all these technologies, getting you just far enough into each of them that you can make something that actually works — and then be able to understand (albeit with difficulty at first) the rest of the documentation on your own.
