The Web Developer Bootcamp 2024 from Udemy

Now with over 10 hours of React content. Just updated on May 15th, 2023.

Massive new React "expansion pack" covers: React basics, JSX, props, state, Vite, MaterialUI, hooks, useEffect, React design patterns, and more.

Hi. Welcome to the brand new version of The Web Developer Bootcamp, Udemy's most popular web development course. This course was just completely overhauled to prepare students for the 2023 job market, with over 60 hours of brand new content. This is the only course you need to learn web development. There are a lot of options for online developer training, but this course is without a doubt the most comprehensive and effective on the market. Here's why:

This is the only Udemy course taught by a professional bootcamp instructor with a track record of success.
92% of my in-person bootcamp students go on to get full-time developer jobs. Most of them are complete beginners when I start working with them.
The previous 2 bootcamp programs that I taught cost $14,000 and $21,000. This course is just as comprehensive but with brand new content for a fraction of the price.
Everything I cover is up-to-date and relevant to 2022's developer job market. This course does not cut any corners. I just spent 8 months redoing this behemoth of a course.
We build 13+ projects, including a gigantic production application called YelpCamp. No other course walks you through the creation of such a substantial application.
The course is constantly updated with new content, projects, and modules. Think of it as a subscription to a never-ending supply of developer training.
You get to meet my cats and chickens.

When you're learning to program you often have to sacrifice learning the exciting and current technologies in favor of the "beginner friendly" classes. With this course, you get the best of both worlds. This is a course designed for the complete beginner, yet it covers some of the most exciting and relevant topics in the industry.

Throughout the brand new version of the course we cover tons of tools and technologies including:

HTML5
CSS3
Flexbox
Responsive Design
JavaScript (all 2022 modern syntax)
Asynchronous JavaScript - Promises, async/await, etc.
AJAX and single page apps
Bootstrap 4 and 5
ReactJS
SemanticUI
Bulma CSS Framework
DOM Manipulation
Unix(Command Line) Commands
NodeJS
NPM
ExpressJS
Templating
REST
SQL vs. NoSQL databases
MongoDB
Database Associations
Schema Design
Mongoose
Authentication From Scratch
Cookies & Sessions
Authorization
Common Security Issues - SQL Injection, XSS, etc.
Developer Best Practices
Deploying Apps
Cloud Databases
Image Upload and Storage
Maps and Geocoding

This course is also unique in the way that it is structured and presented. Many online courses are just a long series of "watch as I code" videos. This course is different. I've incorporated everything I learned in my years of teaching to make this course not only more effective but more engaging. The course includes:

Lectures
Code-Alongs
Projects
Exercises
Research Assignments
Slides
Downloads
Readings
Too many pictures of my dog Rusty

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I got into this industry because I love working with people and helping students learn. Sign up today and see how fun, exciting, and rewarding web development can be.
