Front-End developers are some of the most sought-after internet professionals by tech giants and start-ups alike. Front-End & User-Interface Developers create the entire visual interface of a website and apps that customers and users interact with as they browse online, whether on a mobile device or a desktop computer. They are also responsible for the overall user experience, device compatibility, and speed of the websites and mobile apps. Employers also expect applications to do much more than merely display text and images, and so, Front-End Developers require tools and techniques to accomplish that.
This course will teach the essential tools that every web page coder needs to know: HTML5, CSS3, SVG, and the DOM. You will be introduced to JavaScript and gain familiarity with web development tools such as a Text Editor like VSCode, git version control, GitHub.com, web browsers and their dev tools, accessibility validators, and more. You'll also become familiar with modern best practices for authoring websites with modern web standards and UI and UX principles. You will learn how to code up a resume, a card gallery, navigation menus, documentation pages, and a portfolio site, and then you will learn how to deploy them online to show off your new skills to anyone by sharing a link.
