Fullstack Development

Learn to structure code in a concise, logical, and readable manner, while mastering HTML and CSS, two foundational front-end languages. Create static web pages using HTML and CSS alone, before applying Flexbox (a CSS framework) to increase the complexity and speed in which you create your web pages.

Sites today don’t just display content – they are interactive, with animations, logins, checkouts, and much more. To add functionality to your websites, you will learn the essentials of object-oriented programming and JavaScript, including how to leverage reusable "building blocks" of code. You will then build on these programming fundamentals by learning how to create and implement functions and animations.

Leverage React, one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks, to refine the quality of your work and create professional user interfaces. You’ll learn to manage states, allowing your website to work with data in a more dynamic way; and integrate an application programming interface (API), which connects your website to a back-end.

Learn how websites interact with a back-end to exchange application data. Using Node.js, a JavaScript environment, and Express, a Node framework, you’ll learn how to quickly leverage back-end technologies to create a full-stack application. By understanding how to create your own application programming interface (API), you’ll be able to customize and improve the functionality of your work.

Understanding how to collaborate with other developers and work on agile teams is a critical skill for all developers. Learn to jointly work on an agile project with other developers, using git to manage versions and share work. You’ll be assigned tasks and use Jira to manage the development process.

Understanding different database structures is critical in managing large amounts of information in an efficient and effective way. To store and manage data, you’ll learn how to use MySQL, a high-performance, open-source relational database management system used by data-rich companies like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify.

With a solidified understanding of how to build out web applications, you’ll learn how to deploy your work so that it can be viewed online. You’ll also be introduced to topics such as security, authentication methods, and additional web frameworks to continue to expand your understanding of development.
