Companies hire modern Front-End Software Developers to build fully functional Web Applications. Employers expect applications to do much more than merely display text and images, and so, Front-End Developers require more tools and techniques to accomplish that.

Currently, the most popular Front-End rendering framework that companies are recruiting for is React, a framework that uses component hierarchies. This course will go into basic and advanced use-cases for React and introduce you to the vast landscape of javascript frameworks. We’ll also go into more advanced language features of JavaScript, including new JavaScript build-tools, that cater to component-based Front-End development and compile them into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that web browsers parse and render.

Finally, we will leverage a few Back-End tools such as Node.js and a NoSQL database-as-a-service platform to help create a fully functioning, interactive CRUD web application where users can sign up, log in, and post content that persists in a database. The final segment of the class covers more career skills and interviewing practice so students can feel confident applying to jobs in this industry.
