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.

Full-Stack Web Development Certificate

Web Design Certificate

This program is for people who want to be a well rounded web designer, who can code the front-end of webpages, layout the designs for webpages, create web graphics, and code HTML Emails (which many companies use for marketing).

This certificate includes:

The Core Curriculum: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, and more.
Photoshop for Web: Design webpages and create web graphics.
HTML Email: Create nicely formatting emails using HTML and CSS.

Web Design Certificate

Web Design with WordPress & PHP

Over a third of all websites run on WordPress. WordPress is written in PHP, a server-side language. WordPress powers blogs such as the TechCrunch, as well as small mom and pop websites. That’s why it’s so popular with freelance web developers/designers and many web design studios.

Knowing PHP will help you better understand and work with WordPress. More than that, you can also use PHP by itself to create back-end functionality, work with databases, process forms, and much more. PHP can be easier to get started with (especially for front-end developers), than other languages such as Ruby on Rails. That doesn’t mean it’s better, but PHP can by a good option for those who want to start exploring back-end web development.

This certificate includes:

The Core Curriculum: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, and more.
Photoshop for Web: Design webpages and create web graphics.
HTML Email: Create nicely formatting emails using HTML and CSS.
WordPress: Edit existing themes or create your own custom themes.
PHP & MySQL: Get started with databases and back-end functionality.
