Professional Web Design Training

TRACK 1: Curriculum for the Mobile Website design Class

• Introduction to the Internet
• Termux and The Linux command prompt
  • The terminal is usually an intimidating interface for people coming from Windows, but as a developer, you should feel completely at home writing commands on a black screen. This course seeks to demystify the Linux command prompt and introduce you to basic linux commands like cd, ls, mkdir, rm, pwd, ln, cp, mv and touch
• Commandline editor - Neovim
  • There are many editors and development IDEs, however on Linux terminal, there is no more robust editor than Vim and it’s more modern fork - NeoVim.
    It’s a bit of a learning curve, but mastery of NeoVim gifts you with a swiss army knife tool you can call up on any Linux terminal. Plus the bragging rights!
• HTML 5
  • Knowledge of HTML is a required basic for anyone interested in modern software development, considering the ubiquity of the web.
    Whether you are eventually going to use Javascript, PHP or Python, without html there is nothing to display on a browser.
    Most Tech schools would expect some knowledge of HTML as minimum requirement for admission.
• CSS 3
  • Knowledge of modern Cascading Style Sheets is important for webpage presentations.
    Thanks to CSS Frameworks like Bootstrap, it is now easier to develop beautiful Views for web applications
• JavaScript
  • Javascript is termed the programming language of the web.
    Introductions to Javascript (Vanilla) gives you not just the skills to develop dynamic web pages, but also the base to learn other JavaScript Frameworks like React, Vue, Angular or any other JS frameworks that would be developed in the Future.
• Bootstrap
  • Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JavaScript framework that is used to develop responsive, mobile-first websites.
    It is used in building the frontend Interface for many other Tools and Frameworks. This includes Views for Wordpress, Drupal, Django, Laravel and other platforms.
• Git & Github
  • Version control Systems are part of a modern developer’s tool.
    Git ( the most popular VCS amongst developers ) is a primarily command line based version control system, that enables you keep track of changes you made to your code and helps you easily revert to previous states.
    Github.com is a remote git hosting tool that allows you keep a copy of your git history on the Internet and facilitates multi-developer commits to one central repository.
• SSH & SFTP
  • SSH grants you secure access to your server, and enables you control your Server via the command prompt.
    SFTP is a secure tool for transfering files between your local device and your Cloud Server.
    We also do some Introduction to Heroku at this point.
• Microsoft Office 365 / Google G Suites
  • There is no better document processing tool on desktop than Microsoft office.
    With MS Office 365 and Microsoft Cloud hosting (OneDrive), you can easily extend document processing work to your Mobile. That includes: Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. However, if you'll rather not use Microsoft Tools, we have a parallel track that will equip you with the same skillsets on Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
• Team Collaboration Tools
  • Smart developers do not work alone. These collaboration tools help you work smarter.
    Slack (Communicate with the team & effectively keep track of the project).
    Trello (Track each project on the Cloud).
    Todoist (Coordinate your tasks with your team mates)
    Evernote (A collaborative note taking app with Cloud integration)
