Web Development Certification Course Curriculum

Unit 1

Web Development Tools

Explore the web and software development tools used by Web Developers around the world, along with how and when to use them. Learn to set up your development environment and take your first steps as a Web Developer.

Unit 2

Styling with CSS

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the language that enables Web Developers to modify the appearance of a website with custom styling and advanced layouts. In this unit, learn how to connect CSS files with your HTML files, and start writing CSS code to apply unique visual styles to your website, including fonts and colors. Learn how to use the cascading logic of CSS and different selectors to precisely style your website. We will also use the Box Model and Flexbox to style our elements, creating both flexible element and page layouts.

Unit 3

Interactivity on the Web

Modern websites enhance user engagement by allowing users to interact with elements dynamically, creating an immersive experience. Responsive Design allows users to interact with web pages on any device, at any screen size. CSS animations use both transitions and transforms to enable smooth transitions and effects, such as animations of elements on hover. JavaScript events enable developers to create complex, interactive behaviors like dynamic content updates, or modals, all following the click of a button or the press of a key from a user.
