What You Will Learn

Over the course of 12 weeks you will learn how to build, test and deploy software applications using Javascript on the client- and server-side of an application (front-end + back-end).

Front-End Development

Take a deep dive into front-end web design with HTML and CSS while learning interface design as well as programming fundamentals with JavaScript.

Client-Side Programming

Learn the data structures, coding patterns, and libraries that enable client-side coding in web pages. Leverage third-party APIs, such as Google and Facebook.

Application Frameworks

Master web frameworks, such as React, to make building complex user interfaces easier by breaking them up into smaller, functional components.

Server-Side Coding

Create self-contained server-side web applications using NodeJS and deploy it to the cloud. Pass state from the client to the server and back again.

Databases

Gain a solid understanding of concepts common to all databases, using MongoDB for illustration and practical examples of a document (NoSQL) DB.
