1.<\/strong> The Web Developer Bootcamp<\/strong><\/a>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taught by Colt Steele, an in-person programming bootcamp instructor, \u201cThe Web Developer Bootcamp<\/a>\u201d is a comprehensive introduction to full stack web development. The course starts out by covering the basics with sections on HTML and CSS. Soon you\u2019ll move onto Bootstrap 4, JavaScript, Node.js, and more. You\u2019ll learn both front-end and back-end web development, so you will have all of the skills you need to develop websites and web applications from scratch. Perhaps more importantly, you\u2019ll learn how to think like a programmer<\/em>. You won\u2019t learn software development, but after taking this course, you will have a strong understanding of the principles of programming and the commonalities between different languages, as well as an ability to read and interpret code. You\u2019ll be well prepared to learn new languages and work with different technologies. This course also has a sequel — \u201cThe Advanced Web Developer Bootcamp<\/a>,\u201d which covers React 16, Redux, ES2015, CSS animations, and more.
