Programming Fundamentals
In the first few weeks you will learn the basics of web design, user experience, and front-end web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You will also learn how to work with terminal commands, GitHub, text editors, and take a deep dive into programming with JavaScript. The following weeks will focus on DOM manipulation, layout, structure and solidify what you learn through weekly projects.
Software Development
The middle of the course will teach you the software development concepts and practices used in the industry; you will become familiar and comfortable with building full-stack web applications. This unit focuses on more powerful front-end software such as React.js and Leaflet. You will also learn back-end software development using API’s, Express to build servers and MongoDB for database integration. In the last week, you will have finished your portfolio site, a place to showcase all of the projects that you have completed thus far.
Client Projects
This is where you will build, think, and work in a real development environment. The final project will be developed with a team of your peers and will provide an in-depth understanding of DevOps, how to work in an Agile project cycle, and refine the skills that you learned in class as well as a chance to explore the technologies that you are interested in pursuing post-graduation.
