What you can learn.

  • Learn how professional developers use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React to build interactive websites from scratch.
  • Experiment with layout, responsiveness, and styling directly in code—no prototypes, no mockups, just live iteration.
  • Use Git, GitHub, and modern deployment platforms to bring your project live—no prior experience required.
  • Get a week-in-the-life view of front-end development with hands-on practice across structure, logic, styling, and deployment.

About this course:

Designed for both UX designers and aspiring engineers, this course introduces the essential tools of modern front-end web development using React. Students receive a hands-on walkthrough of the front-end development lifecycle, from setting up an environment to deploying a fully functional, responsive web application. Through weekly guided builds, students develop a single-page React application while exploring topics such as semantic HTML, CSS styling, JavaScript functionality, responsive design, and form handling. By the end of the course, students will adapt their core application into a custom project such as a personal portfolio, company site, or creative subject of their choosing.
