Development courses can help you learn programming languages like Python and JavaScript, web development techniques, and database management. You can build skills in version control, debugging, and creating responsive designs. Many courses introduce tools such as Git for version control, frameworks like React for building user interfaces, and SQL for managing databases, showing how these skills are applied in real-world projects.
