A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
This course covers essential technologies for full-stack web development, taking you from novice to expert. You'll start with web development basics, including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and frameworks like React.js, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. Through hands-on projects, you'll gain a deep understanding of building dynamic websites, developing back-end applications, and deploying them effectively.
You'll first explore HTML5 and CSS3 to master web page layout and design, followed by JavaScript and React.js to create interactive user experiences. You'll learn Node.js for back-end development, Express.js for server-side routing, and MongoDB for managing data. The course also introduces RESTful APIs, Git and GitHub for version control, and hosting solutions for deploying full-stack applications.
This specialization is perfect for aspiring web developers looking to create full-stack applications, build a dynamic portfolio, and gain hands-on experience with real-world tools. While basic programming knowledge is recommended, beginners are welcome.
By the end, you’ll be able to develop full-stack apps, design UIs with React, build back-end services with Node.js and Express, manage data with MongoDB, and deploy your projects online.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this specialization, you will complete several projects that simulate real-world challenges in web development. These projects will help you build a social media app with a custom backend API, a dynamic Facebook login page, and other full-stack applications. You’ll apply your learning by creating interactive websites using React and CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind, while also mastering back-end technologies with Node.js and MongoDB. Finally, you’ll deploy your projects using GitHub and web hosting platforms to showcase your work.
