Overview

Train to Become a Web Applications Developer

Master the fundamentals of web development and gain the skills you need to start an entry-level career as a web developer! Whether you're new to web development or want to enhance your skills, this course will teach you how to create dynamic, database-driven websites using the latest technologies. By course completion, you'll build and develop a web application from the ground up.

You will master basic HTML, the core technology behind almost all websites. From there, you will go on to learn CSS for styling pages and JavaScript for adding interactivity to your pages. You will then learn how to interact with a database, auto-generate emails, and create registration and login pages using HTML forms, PHP, and SQL. Let's not forget XML: this course will also teach you the basics of the fundamental markup language.
