Web Development Courses

Web development courses can help you learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and responsive design principles. You can build skills in front-end frameworks like React or Angular, back-end technologies such as Node.js or Django, and database management with SQL or MongoDB. Many courses introduce tools like Git for version control, Visual Studio Code for coding, and Figma for UI/UX design, showing how these skills come together to create functional and visually appealing websites.
