Description
Welcome to “Become a Web Developer” – a comprehensive course designed to guide you through the process of creating interactive websites and web applications using a suite of modern technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Nodejs, Expressjs, Socketio, and MongoDB.
This course is designed for learners who are passionate about diving into the world of web development, regardless of previous experience. We’ll start with the basics and gradually move towards more complex concepts and projects.
In the first few sections, we’ll lay the groundwork by exploring what web development is, and how to write and understand code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript – the three fundamental building blocks of the web. We’ll build a sample website and engage in several beginner-friendly web projects like a calculator, quiz app, countdown timer, and todo app .These projects will allow you to consolidate your learning and see how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together to build functional, interactive websites.
Next, we’ll delve into back-end development with a focus on Node.js and Express.js. You’ll understand the concepts behind server-side programming, creating RESTful APIs, and managing data with MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database.
The course reaches its climax with an exciting project where you’ll apply everything you’ve learned. You’ll build a real-time chat application using Nodejs, Expressjs, Socketio, and MongoDB. This project will help you understand how all these technologies interact in a full-stack JavaScript environment.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a robust understanding of web development and a portfolio of projects to showcase your skills. You’ll be equipped to build interactive websites and applications, setting you firmly on your path to becoming a proficient web developer. Whether you’re looking to start a career in web development, or you’re a professional looking to expand your skill set, this course will provide a solid foundation to help you reach your goals.
