What You Will Learn in the Curriculum

Markup & Styling

In this module you will learn the fundamentals of web design and frontend web development, how to place and arrange elements on a page to bring your ideas to life, and how to style those elements with responsive design by writing custom CSS. There will be a focus on mobile-first design and developing your ability to create user experiences with the user first in mind.

JavaScript – The World’s Most Popular Programming Language

JavaScript is a programming language that plays an important role in frontend development. It allows for more user interaction on websites and for creating dynamic user experiences programmatically. You will learn functional programming, higher order array methods, callbacks, debugging in the browser, and how to write code efficiently.

React.js – The Leading UI Framework

React.js is a popular JavaScript library for building beautiful user interfaces and client-side applications. You will learn about components, React Hooks, how to take in user input with forms, how to route users with React router, how to make HTTP requests to APIs with Axios, how to authenticate with JSON Web Token, and how to bring it together to create impressive, dynamic full stack applications.

Node.js

This module will focus on Node.js, a JavaScript run-time that allows you to run JavaScript outside of the browser, on a server! This fast and efficient runtime is the foundation of creating server based applications like RESTful APIs and other powerful applications.

Express.js – Application Programming Interfaces

Express.js is an elegant framework for building Application Programming Interfaces. APIs are a type of application that creates a standardized form of access to data layers, like relational and non-relational databases. In learning Express.js, you’ll learn APIs with one of the easiest to pick up tools around!

MongoDb and Non-Relational Databases

Non-Relational Databases are data layers that use a “document” based approach for collecting flexible objects together in a persistent database that can be individually modified as data needs change. This is in contrast to the less flexible “relational database” approach that is based on tables (similar to Excel spreadsheets).

MongoDb is by far the most popular service for non-relational databases, and we’ll use it to show you the database ropes!

Full Stack Applications

Now that you have all of the letters in the “MERN” alphabet under your belt, we’re going to put them together to create “full stack” web applications! This means that you will have a user interface connected to a server application that gives structured access to a database that is storing data persistently.

CAPSTONE

The capstone project is the final project where students take everything they learned and bring it all together. It is the project that showcases the skills necessary to get a job in the industry. Each student’s final project is an individual capstone in which you bring an idea you have for an app to life in the form of a fully-functioning software application.

Career Advisory Services

Our goals are the exact same as your goals. As a graduate of the program, utilize devCodeCamp’s advisory services to help you launch your career. Learn how to create a resume, cultivate a LinkedIn presence, how to prepare for interviews, how to go about finding job opportunities by utilizing our resources, communicating with our career team via Slack, and the importance of continuing to code.
