Core Web Development Curriculum

All our web certificate programs start with a core curriculum, which gets you started creating web pages right away. You’ll learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript which are the foundation of every webpage, as well as the latest frameworks and developer tools. The core curriculum covers front-end coding, which controls what you see in a web browser. It’s the content, appearance, and interactivity seen in a webpage.

The following classes are included in the core curriculum:

The benefit of all our programs sharing the same core curriculum is flexibility. After learned the core curriculum you’ll be able to code the front-end of webpages. If you want to continue on, you can build on that foundation to suit your individual goals.

Front-End Web Development Certificate

Coding the front-end of a website involves working with the content, appearance, layout, and interactivity seen in a webpage. Some web designers and web developers like to focus on this more visual and interactive side of webpages, leaving the back-end coding to other developers when necessary, or working with pre-made a back-end like WordPress.

This certificate includes everything in core curriculum, so you’ll learn the following:

Create webpages using HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
Use Git to track code changes and collaborate with other developers.
Code editor tips and tricks to make you a faster coder.

Full-Stack Web Development Certificate

Full-stack developers know front-end and back-end coding, so they can work with any part of the website required.

The front-end of a website is what you see in a web browser. It’s the content, appearance, and interactivity seen in a webpage.

The back-end of a website involves things that happen on a web server. It usually involves a database for storing information such as products, prices, orders, social media posts, passwords, etc. Using a server-side coding language you can process information in forms, create login/logout functionality, and much more. There are many back-end languages to choose from, but we chose Ruby on Rails because “Ruby on Rails makes it much easier and more fun”.

This certificate includes:

The Core Curriculum: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, and more.
Ruby on Rails: Code the back-end of web applications.
