The Web Development Program prepares students
with skills and knowledge required to start a

career as a Full Stack Web Application Developer.
Student will learn how coding skills and agile web
development business practices can be applied to
solve real-world problems and support organizations
to meet the demands of the ever-changing digital
landscape.

Over a series of ten courses students will present,
implement and maintain emerging web-based
technologies — learning by doing to solve problems
individually and collaboratively. Methodical, concise
and communicative development practices are
encouraged throughout the program.

Being a Full Stack Developer means you will have
experience in both the front-end and back-end of web
development. You will use HTML, CSS and JavaScript
to control how content looks on the front end while
developing server-side applications, servers and
databases that drive the back end. You will write
lean, elegant and efficient loading code, follow best
practices when using web-based technologies, and
install, configure, secure and maintain web-based
environments.

Our intensive program provides you with hands-on
experience in:

— HTML&CSS

— Agile Project Management

— JavaScript and other Scripting Languages
— REST, API, SOAP API

— Virtual host, sandboxes

— Version control

— Relational and non-relation database management
systems, and frameworks

— Web security
— Performance analysis

Careers

This program is geared toward those looking to start
a career as a web developer. The demand for Full
Stack Developers is as high as ever because they
have wide ranging skills and the ability to jump in at
any place in a project. They are productive and agile.
Experience working on both the server and client side
will also open more opportunities for our graduates.
