Free online courseFull Stack Web Development

Course Description

Move from curiosity to confidence in web development by learning how real websites and apps are planned, built, styled, and shipped. This free online course is designed for beginners who want a practical path into full stack work, while still being valuable for self-taught developers who need a clearer structure. You will start by understanding how the web works, set up a proper coding environment with an IDE, and create your first pages with clean HTML that follows modern standards.

From there, you will learn how to turn plain pages into polished interfaces using CSS, including selectors, grouping, specificity, text formatting, colors, shadows, backgrounds, borders, spacing, grids, and responsive techniques so layouts look right on phones, tablets, and desktops. You will also practice using browser inspector tools to debug issues quickly and develop a workflow that saves time as projects grow.

Next, you will add interactivity with JavaScript and develop the kind of foundational logic that powers real products: variables, operators, conditions, loops, functions, arrays, and objects. You will apply these skills through hands-on tasks such as building a calculator and connecting code to the page with DOM selection, event listeners, and safe handling of user input. Along the way you will learn conventions for linking scripts and writing maintainable code.

To prepare you for collaborative and professional development, the course guides you through version control with Git and common workflows used with GitHub, including working from the command line and resolving merge conflicts. You will also speed up front-end production with Bootstrap by building responsive layouts and common UI components, then elevate your styling with Sass to keep your CSS scalable, reusable, and easier to maintain.

Finally, you will step into back-end and deployment essentials: hosting setup, servers, SSH, domains, and Nginx configuration. You will build with Node, understand packages with NPM, create an API, test requests, and work with MongoDB for data storage. The course then ties front end and back end together through a project-style workflow, introducing React fundamentals such as components, props, state, services, and patterns that help you structure larger applications. By the end, you will have the skills to build, troubleshoot, and deploy a complete web app with a strong foundation for your portfolio and next career step.
