Software Engineer at Clearco
My dream has always been to become an entrepreneur. However, I didn't feel that my career was heading in a direction that would provide me with the skills necessary to start a business that I would be interested in... I decided that attending BrainStation would be a great way to take my coding knowledge to the next level, and hopefully remove the barrier that stood between me and my dream of entrepreneurship.
From the very first class, I realized how much I love learning coding. It was taught in a very simple, understandable and fun way... I never felt like I was overwhelmed with information and every question was answered right away with examples provided. What I loved the most was my instructor, who taught us how to approach an issue and where and how to find a solution.

Web Development 101
What is the Difference Between Front-End and Back-End Web Development?
Web development is generally broken down into front-end web development and back-end web development. Front-end Web Developers work on the “client-side” of web development, which refers to any portion of the site or app that users will interact with, including its layout, design, and interactivity. Back-End Web Developers work on the “server-side,” which is focused on the functionality of a site, including database interactions, user authentication, server, network and hosting configuration, and business logic.
A Full-Stack Developer is someone familiar with both front- and back-end web development.
Unlike many web development courses, BrainStation's Web Development course focuses on boosting full-stack development skills, helping you learn how to create beautiful websites on both the front and back-end.
What Can I Learn in a Web Development Course?
In BrainStation's Web Development course, you will learn web development basics, how to build basic websites using HTML code, and how to add visual styling features using CSS. You will then explore more advanced web development concepts, including flexible layouts, component design, media queries, and more.
The best web development courses will begin by building your basic understanding of syntax and anatomy, markup languages, and how to set up your own self-contained development environment before gaining hands-on experience writing HTML code and creating basic websites. From there, you will learn how to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to add custom styles, fonts, colors, and more to modify the visual appearance of your websites.
Finally, you will learn about responsive web design, the process of building interactive websites that instantly adapt to display properly on any device, including desktop computers, phones, and other mobile devices.
What Are the Most In-Demand Web Development Jobs?
Some of the most in-demand web development jobs include Web Developer, Software Engineer, Software Developer, UX Designer, Web Designer, and more.
Among Web Developers, Full-Stack Web Developers are highly sought after due to their experience with both front-end languages and back-end languages. Other specialized job roles within web development include Mobile Developer, iOS Developer, Android Developer, Python Developer, among many more.
Web development skills and concepts are also increasingly crucial to a variety of other jobs and disciplines, including business analysis, cybersecurity, product management, data science, data analytics, and more.
What Is the Best Way to Stay on Top of Web Development Trends?
The best way to stay on top of web development trends is to read development industry blogs and email newsletters, attend networking events and conferences, and join online communities of Web Developers and Software Engineers.
Stack Overflow is an online forum popular with beginner and advanced Developers alike for asking and answering web development questions, while GitHub is a code repository where any Developer can share their work or solutions to problems. These communities can be an incredible resource and exploring them will give you a better idea of what other Developers are working on, and in analyzing their projects, you could gain insight on the technologies and features being included in their pages and web applications.
BrainStation regularly holds panel discussions with top industry experts, thought leadership events, and other networking gatherings to give students opportunities to build their professional networks while also discussing the most current trends and issues in their fields.
How to Get Into Web Development?
To get into web development, you should learn web development fundamentals and key programming languages, consider gaining formal training through web development courses, work on building websites, web apps, and other projects, and finally look for freelance work, internships, or entry-level web development jobs.
A web development course would be the most efficient way to get up to speed on the programming languages, key concepts, and other tech skills you would need to get into web development. Beyond formal courses, there are also plenty of tools, webinars, and resources to help you learn web development in places like Reddit, YouTube, or the Mozilla Developer Network.
It is worth noting that getting into web development could be easier if you already have some skills with computer programming, or experience with areas including computer science, user experience design, computer engineering, or data analysis and data structures.
What Skills Should I Learn for a Web Development Career?
Key skills you should learn for a web development career mainly revolve around learning different programming languages so you can code and create websites, as well as a combination of other soft and technical skills.
Understanding how to use HTML and CSS to build websites is crucial for anyone looking to become a Web Developer, and depending on your career goals, you will want to consider learning any number of other programming languages including JavaScript, Python, and Structured Query Language (SQL). If your ambition is to get into full-stack web development specifically, you will need training around both back-end and front-end technologies.
Other important skills for web development include responsive design, version control, environment setup, and more.
