Course Description

Welcome to the Full Stack Web Development course. Dive deep into the robust world of web development with a comprehensive course spanning 26 hours and 16 minutes. Perfectly tailored for both budding developers and seasoned IT professionals, this course bridges the foundational elements and the advanced intricacies of building dynamic, responsive websites and web applications.

The journey begins with an introduction to the field of web development. Here, you get an overarching understanding of what lies ahead, ensuring that you're well-prepared to embark on your development quest. This is immediately followed by a detailed exploration of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) — their significance, installation, and best practices for usage.

Next, you dive hands-on into creating your first website, learning the syntax and structure of HTML. From understanding basic tags like HEAD, BODY, and HEADER to mastering lists, paragraphs, text styling, tables, and forms, this segment lays a solid foundation. Additionally, a deep dive into HTML forms, image handling, and iframes ensures that you're adept at displaying and collecting data effectively.

As you progress, the course transitions seamlessly into the realms of CSS, teaching you how to enhance the aesthetics of your web pages. From basic concepts like inline, internal, and external CSS to more complex subjects like CSS selectors, colors, shadows, backgrounds, borders, and browser inspector tools — the knowledge imparted here is exhaustive. Advanced topics such as combinators, specificity, responsive images, padding, margin, rows, and columns enable you to create beautiful, responsive websites.

This course also emphasizes the importance of JavaScript in web development. Starting from the basics, you learn how to incorporate JavaScript into your projects, covering key topics such as variables, strings, numbers, operators, arrays, loops, functions, methods, objects, and more. A highlight is the practical project of creating a percentage calculator, teaching you event listeners, algorithms, and ways to prevent default behaviors with JS.

Version control is another critical aspect covered, equipping you with knowledge about Git, GitHub, and Bitbucket. You will learn about local and remote repositories, basic terminal commands, and how to handle merge conflicts effectively.

The course also delves into Bootstrap 4, exploring its components, classes, the grid system, forms, buttons, and advanced features like modals, nested rows, columns, and the use of Font Awesome. By integrating SCSS and SASS into your workflow, you learn to create scalable, maintainable stylesheets for your projects.

A notable feature of this course is its focus on backend development. You are introduced to server setup, Nginx installation, domain configuration, and understanding web requests. By covering Node.js, MongoDB, and API building, the course ensures you are well-versed in full-stack development.

Finally, you cap off your learning with a real-world project, "Swag Shop," where you create a full-fledged eCommerce application using React and Bootstrap. This project encapsulates all you have learned, providing a single comprehensive application that showcases your skills.

Upon completion, you would have a well-rounded knowledge in full-stack web development, making you proficient in creating, deploying, and maintaining web applications.
