Intro to Front-End Web Development

Front-end web developers code the parts of the website you see working in a web browser. Learn about how the various web coding languages and technologies work, and how front-end web development differs from back-end or full-stack.

Learn about HTML, CSS, flexbox, grid, Bootstrap, JavaScript for front-end developers, web animation using the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP), WordPress, coding emails versus webpages, and more.

This is the perfect way to learn about web development before you dive into one of our hands-on web certificate programs (in-person in NYC or live online), including:

Front-End Web Development Certificate: Start coding websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Full-Stack Web Development Certificate: Learn to code the front-end and back-end of websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (the MERN stack of Mongo, Express, React, and Node).
Web Design Certificate: Learn the skills to become a web designer including designing layouts, front-end web coding, and more.
