Courses
Website Development
This 60-hour course equips learners with the skills to build and deploy production-ready web applications, transitioning from frontend to full-stack proficiency. The course has a strong alignment with the modern MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js). This stack was chosen because React.js is the most popular framework for front-end development. Node.js is a back-end runtime that can handle many asynchronous processes concurrently, making it great for scalability and API development. MongoDB is a NoSQL database solution with read/write operations many times faster than traditional relational databases and has a flexible schema. Topics and time allotments are tentatively placed and may be subject to change.
