Have you ever wondered how websites are built?
Every webpage you visit is created using technologies that work together to deliver its design, content and functionality. Front-end web development focuses on the part of a website that users see and interact with.
Today, websites are used by businesses, organisations and individuals across almost every industry. As a result, digital and web development skills continue to be valuable in an increasingly connected world.
If you are interested in technology, coding and creativity, STC Higher Education’s Front End Web Development course can help you develop practical skills for building modern websites.
Learn the Skills Behind the Web
During the course, the fundamentals of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript will be introduced. These technologies are widely used to structure, style and add functionality to websites.
In addition, you will be introduced to tools and frameworks that are commonly used in web development. These include jQuery, Bootstrap, Git and GitHub.
The syllabus covers:
- Web application architecture
- HTML5
- CSS
- Flexbox and CSS Grid
- JavaScript
- jQuery
- Bootstrap
- Code review, testing and collaboration
Furthermore, responsive design, website deployment and cross-browser testing will be explored. This will help you understand how websites can be created to work across different devices and browsers.
From Code to a Working Website
Learning web development is not only about understanding individual programming languages. Instead, different technologies need to be brought together to create a complete website.
For example, HTML can be used to structure a webpage, while CSS can be applied to its appearance and layout. JavaScript can then be used to add interactive features.
As you progress through the course, these skills will be brought together. Consequently, you will gain a better understanding of how modern websites are developed and tested.
A Practical, Part-Time Course
The course is delivered through face-to-face lectures and is designed for learners who want to develop practical computing skills alongside their other commitments.
The programme is offered on a part-time basis, so it can be fitted around work, family or other responsibilities. In addition, the course provides an opportunity to gain an NCC Education award while developing a specific area of computing.
