Description
The Front End Web Developer Nanodegree program's goal is to provide learners with the specialised skills required to build and develop a wide range of websites and applications. Graduates of this Nanodegree programme will be able to build responsive websites with CSS, Flexbox, and CSS Grid, interactive websites and UI (User Interface) applications with JavaScript and HTML, and connect a web application to backend server data with JavaScript. Students will also gain proficiency in automating application build and deployment with Webpack and improving website offline performance with Service Worker.
In this course, you will :
- Learn how to effectively create the structure of a website using semantic HTML, and style websites with CSS and responsive layouts. Develop an understanding of different use cases for CSS Grid and Flexbox, and structure the layout of a web page using grid columns and rows.
- Use JavaScript to control a webpage. Learn what the Document Object Model (DOM) is, and use JavaScript and the DOM to dictate page content and interactions. Gain experience working with Browser Events and managing website performance by controlling content creation efficiently.
- Set up a Node and Express environment so you can develop web applications on your local machine, and learn to handle HTTP Requests & Routes. Update and modify website elements dynamically using asynchronously retrieved data.
