Learn What It Takes to Code Dynamic, Professional Websites and Web Apps From The Comfort of Your Own Home 

Do you ever browse the internet wondering how your favorite websites were built? Facebook, Twitter, Amazon—they were all created by people who at one point in time didn’t know anything about coding. How did they obtain this knowledge? 

In this comprehensive course, I’m going to show you everything you need to know so that you can follow in these people’s footsteps. 

You’re going to learn how to code AND you’re going to become a certified professional from a recognized international trainer. And best of all, you’re going to have fun doing it. 

You Don’t Have to Be a Genius or a Mathematical Wizard. 

So many people believe that you must have a special ‘gift’ to create professional-quality, dynamic websites/web apps. I’m here to tell you once and for all that this is false. All you need to have is the desire to learn and the ability to follow instructions—that’s it.  

Our course starts teaching basic coding principles and develops your coding skills in a variety of languages from beginner through to advanced. Here it is, once and for all, a complete guide that will take you from novice to web developer. 

Skip Hours of Frustration and Thousands of Wasted Dollars and Become 100% Certified 

The internet has changed the rules of doing business. More and more companies are migrating online while many new, never before seen businesses are created every day thanks to the power of this phenomenon. You know what that means? Higher demand for people just like you.  

But the problem for these businesses is that while demand is high, supply is short. 

Please don’t let a lack of knowledge stop you from having the career of your dreams, not when the knowledge you need is right here and is extremely affordable. 

Don’t worry, you won’t need to buy any additional courses, it’s all here. No need to spend four years and over $15,000 per year in college tuition either—it really is all here. From HTML to CSS then to Javascript and finally PHP, you will learn how to Become a Certified Web Developer. 

It Doesn’t Matter Where You’re Starting From...You Can Do It.  

Maybe: 

     ● You’re planning on studying coding at college and want to build a rock-solid foundation so that you have a huge head start before your course begins? 

     ● You’re dissatisfied with your current job and want to learn exactly what it takes to become a fully qualified web developer? 

     ● You’re currently working in IT but want to expand your skill base so that you’re 100% up to date with the latest developments in web technology? 

     ● You want to develop mobile apps or websites on the side to create some additional income while retaining your current job?

Developers use a suite of tools to create applications, test them and deploy their work. In this section, you'll download and learn the tools you need to add to your digital toolbox to be successful!

Your tools are almost as important as the languages you know.  As a new developer, potential employers are going to expect you to know specific tools.  In these videos, Framework instructors are going to review some of the most important development tools used today.

Mark introduces the Tools Section in this video.

Code is developed inside an IDE: Integrated Development Environment.

Asking a developer which IDE they prefer is a little bit like asking which religion is best. Our current recommendation for users is VSCode. VSCode is a state-of-the art code editing tool from Microsoft. It has standard IDE features like code completion, but it has a number of other features-- like multiple line editing-- that make it special.

First download VSCode at code.visualstudio.com. Then, watch Framework's Josh Nussbaum explain VS code to you! Enjoy!

It's your first interview for the job you always wanted: web developer.

"Sit down," says the interviewer, "I'm Paul."

"Now let's take a look at your GitHub."

For jobs with technical companies, your GitHub portfolio may be the single most important element that determines whether or not you get that all-important first job in industry.

Join Framework's Spencer Reynolds for a review of the fundamentals of GitHub. Once you have your GitHub repo going, it should be where you store every piece of code you write.

In this section you will will learn the foundations of HTML coding and create your first web sites. You will learn both HTML5 syntax and usage.

In this first video, Mark will introduce you to the tools you need in order to learn HTML5. Mark will review the plugins you need to code HTML5 with Visual Studio Code, and you'll create your first HTML5 script and see the result in your browser.

In this video, Mark will review the fundamentals of text markup with the HTML5 heading tags and paragraph tag. Mark will also review HTML5 lists.

Headings, Paragraphs and Lists Quiz

Semantic HTML is code that is self-documenting. The purpose of semantic elements is apparent from the element name. In this video, Mark will review how to use semantic HTML tags.

Semantic HTML Quiz

HTML5 Hyperlinks are used to move users from one page to another within a site or between sites on the web. In this video, Mark will teach you to make external HTML5 links, internal HTML5 links, and named anchors, which are hyperlinks that navigate within a page.

Poorly designed forms will cause users to abandon the page. In this video from our HTML5 Full Course for Beginners series, you'll learn to create text-based forms in which the user can enter information.

In this video, Mark will discuss additional form elements like checkboxes and radio buttons. Thanks for taking the course! I hope you these videos helped you learn HTML. HTML and HTML forms are foundational to web development, and you'll benefit significantly from knowing them.

Variables in JavaScript

In this video, Mark will show you how to complete arithmetic using JavaScript variables and expressions.

Every coding language needs a way of making decisions. It is conditional statements that allow code to make decisions. Mark demonstrates in this video

JavaScript conditionals

Switch... Case statements allow you to evaluate a number of conditions at once. You'll learn Switch conditionals in this video.

Loops are important coding constructs that allow you to execute code while some condition is true. Mark demonstrates two common types of loops in this video.

For loops are an abbreviated style of loop that provides a more compact syntax. You'll learn how to use For loops in this video.

For Loops

So far, we've used variables to hold a single value. Arrays allow you to reference multiple values in a list form using a single variable name.

JavaScript Arrays

Functions are a section of repeatable code that can be executed whenever needed in JavaScript. Mark demonstrates older and current function syntax and several types of functions in this video.

JavaScript functions

JavaScript gives you full control over video content.  Mark demonstrates in this video.

JavaScript apps often interact with other systems to exchange data. In this video, Mark will demonstrate how the fetch() command is used to obtain external data.

Fetch in JavaScript

JSON provides a method for exchanging data in a plain text format that also is in the format of a native JavaScript object.  You will learn how JSON is used in this video.

JSON: JavaScript Object Notation

XML is another common format used to exchange text data between systems in a nonproprietary manner. In this video, Mark will demonstrate building an app that uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language) for data exchange.

XML

Promises prevent race conditions in code-- where processes occur on their own timelines.  For example, it is impossible to predetermine how long it may take to receive external data from a server.  Promise structures are used to work with asynchronous processes in JavaScript.  Mark demonstrates this in this video.

Async/Await provide a cleaner, easier-to-read syntax for working with asynchronous processes in JavaScript.  Mark will show you how to use async and await in this video.

Every coding language has the ability to manipulate strings.  Mark demonstrates string manipulation in JavaScript in this video.
