Our Web Design Summer Course has been a staple of our school for many years. We are committed to developing and maintaining the best web dev class on the market, which is why we've created award-winning web workbooks, instructors, and resources for our Web Development instruction.

In this program, students will learn how to build and design the front-end of websites. This course provides students with a solid introduction to coding and design because we start with HTML and CSS, which are the easiest (and arguably the most essential) coding languages to learn. We then progress into the more advanced CSS (Flexbox and Grid) which is now an essential skill for modern web developers. Lastly, the students move onto JavaScript which is used by professional developers to create nearly all of the interactive features and functions that users see on the web today. Because students are both coding and designing, this course will engage and develop both their creativity and their technical savvy at the same time!

This course will guide students through the processes of creating a website from scratch. The curriculum first introduces students to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). HTML is a basic, need-to-know programming language that allows coders to outline the structure of their webpage and tag (i.e., label) each section so that the browser can determine how to render the page to meet the programmer's exact specifications. HTML is also used for adding links, images, and forms to web pages. Next, students learn how to style their web pages using CSS, Flexbox, and Grid. CSS (which stands for Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to aesthetically style web pages including creating layouts, color schemes, fonts, visual designs. Flexbox and Grid are used to layout, align, and reorder webpage content, as well as make it adapt to different size screens. You’ll learn how both techniques are useful, and when to use each. You’ll also learn how to use Bootstrap (which uses Flexbox) to rapidly code up pages without having to write as much CSS. Finally, students will explore JavaScript, which is the most popular coding language in the world! JavaScript allows students to make their websites dynamic and reactive to user input.

In other words, Bootcamp students learn all three of the major components of web design: structure (HTML), style (CSS, Flexbox, and Grid), and user functionality (JavaScript).

Why Learn Web Design at NextGen?

Easy to Learn: Out of all of the programming languages, HTML and CSS are the easiest to learn and implement. There is no math or conditional logic used to write these languages as there is in Python, Java, and many others. Instead, HTML and CSS are intuitive coding languages that are rooted in the English language. Despite their rudimentary basis, command of these languages is a non-negotiable for anyone involved in digital communications, especially since they provide the basis for understanding a wide range of advanced languages and applications.

Learn 3 Languages + Frameworks: Within this 2-week course, students will engage with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and CSS frameworks of Flexbox and Grid. Each of these is a separate, marketable skill on a resume and are applicable to many fields in addition to website creation, including email design, front-end app design, and back-end functionality in games and apps. While some courses take weeks to learn and practice each, our activity-based curriculum enables students to learn quickly and do more starting on the very first day.

Capitalize on Ideas: By learning web development skills, entrepreneurs and creative minds open the door for endless business opportunities. Students can use the skills they learn in this class to create websites for their new business idea or to earn money as a freelance web developer. Even having the ability to collaborate with others when building a new site can help students bring their ideas to life.

Ability to Create Anything: The uses of the programming languages taught in this class are endless. HTML can be used to build basic websites, create beautiful emails, edit web pages, build resumes, and much more. Additionally, CSS and Flexbox and Grind can be used to design the front-end of almost anything digital, including packaging, icons, logos, and more. Finally, learning JavaScript will develop students' computation logic, which supports their problem-solving skills and contributes directly to their growth in core subjects, especially in Math.

Award-Winning Curriculum: Dan Rodney is the curriculum developer for this section. Dan is a master web-developer, web designer, as well as instructors with over 20 years of teaching experience. Dan has built many websites in his life, including this one!

Web Dev Course Detailed Overview

This course combines four different courses into one: Web Dev 1, Web Dev 2, JavaScript, and Flexbox.

The first part of this course covers HTML syntax such as headers, paragraphs, body, title, and meta tags. Students will then learn how to accurately input images, followed by an organic transition into styling pages using CSS. Students will learn how to use the class system in CSS as well as CSS tags such as div, background-color, borders, and more. The first part of the course will finish with students using developer tools to understand how advanced layouts are created, followed by building a fluid layout of their own for their personal website project.

The second part of the course focuses on design. Students use advanced CSS topics using Flexbox and Grid to create responsive layouts that are optimized for any size screen.

Finally, in the third part of the course, students learn how to use JavaScript. We will start with the language fundamentals but then quickly move into more advanced concepts and skills. The course will teach students how to use plug-ins to increase the usability of their site.
