Full Stack Web Developer Nanodegree

This program will prepare you for a job as a Full Stack Web Developer, and teach you to build complex server-side web applications that use powerful relational databases to persistently store data.

You’ll learn to build applications that can support any front-end, and scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.

As a Full Stack Web Developer, you are the go-to expert that companies rely on to build, support and maintain their web applications. With our industry partners, we’ve carefully crafted the ideal curriculum to set you up for success in this critical role. You will hone your understanding of how the web works, develop complex relational databases used to store applications data, secure and configure your own Linux-based servers, and build complete web applications using Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SQL. Your final portfolio will clearly demonstrate key skills mastery. Prerequisites and Requirements:

• Beginner-level experience in Python. If you do not have this experience, check out our Intro to Programming Nanodegree or the first three lessons of Intro to Computer Science.
• Experience using Git for version control. If you do not have this experience, check out our How to Use Git and GitHub course.
• You are self-driven and motivated to learn. Participation in this program requires consistently meeting the deadlines set for your cohort and devoting at least 10 hours per week to your work.
