Introduction to Front End Web Development

Introduction to Front-End Web Development will give you the skills you need to build responsive websites from scratch.

This part time, beginner-level course will teach students the fundamentals of front-end web development and professional workflow using Git, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and responsive design strategies. Students watch video lectures whenever is best for them—and dedicate class and instructor time to hands-on coding.

They will need access to a personal laptop (Macs encouraged) as well as wi-fi when out of the classroom. This course will require approximately 9 hours of commitment per week; 3 hours for at home assignments and 6 for on site classes, totalling 90+ hours for course completion.

Tools of the Craft

We teach using real professional software tools. By exposing students to the inner workings of their computers, our goal is to have them begin to see technology as a tool for creation, rather than purely a medium for consumption.

How We Teach

We provide industry-caliber education. We work closely with employers to develop a curriculum that is aligned with market demand. Students will build and deploy real-world applications using industry standard technologies and practices.

Real learning happens at the edge of your comfort zone. Students will embrace a process of learning that requires stretching into new concepts and results in a richer contextual understanding over time. With this mindset, students become prolific learners and problem solvers.

Technology with a heart, coding is a creative and collaborative endeavor. The best applications of technology happen through the lens of the arts, humanities and human-centered design. We believe great technology makes people’s lives better.
