Web Development for beginners
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In today’s digital world, websites are the foundation of nearly every business, service, and brand. Learning web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript empowers you to not only understand how the web works but also to create functional, interactive, and visually appealing websites from scratch. Whether you want to build a personal portfolio, start a tech career, or launch your own startup, mastering these core web technologies gives you the tools to bring your ideas to life on the internet.
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript form the trio of essential front-end technologies. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to structure content on the web—like headings, paragraphs, forms, and images. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) adds style to your content, such as colors, layouts, animations, and responsive design for different screen sizes. JavaScript brings interactivity and logic, allowing you to create features like sliders, dropdown menus, form validations, and dynamic content updates without reloading the page.
As you learn web development, you’ll build real-world projects and gain hands-on experience in writing clean code, organizing web pages, and solving common design and functionality problems. You’ll also develop critical thinking, debugging, and problem-solving skills, which are essential in any tech role. By the end of your journey, you’ll be able to confidently create responsive websites that work across devices, understand how websites are hosted and published, and have a strong foundation to move into advanced areas like frameworks, APIs, and back-end development.
