WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

The Crash Course

A course unto itself, an optional section of this training will take students with no programming experience to a level of competency where they can create, modify, and troubleshoot basic web sites, with lots of battle-tested troubleshooting tips and tricks of the trade. For a beginner this multi-lesson section is worth the course alone!

Digital Ad Creation

Ads are everywhere, and what you may not realize is that many of them are essentially mini-websites. They're a perfect training ground for us to get up to speed on web development while learning about an evergreen industry.

FB/IG face filters and effects

Filters are fun! Learning how to make them eases us out of web development and into the world of game engines and social media content creation.

alexa skills

Amazon's Alexa has introduced a fascinating new way to interact with technology, and fortunately the development knowledge we cultivate in this course is directly applicable to creating Alexa skills. This will also let us dabble in dev-ops.

workflow

It's one thing to know how to code, it's another to hold down a job. In this section, the 'secret sauce' of this course, you'll look through the proverbial window on exactly what it looks like to work as a developer. You'll see the kinds of challenges tutorials simply don't prepare us for, with experienced advice on how to navigate the waters of the professional world.

concept to completion

Building on what we learn about real-world workflow, we drill in what it means to be, for example, handed a file from a designer and have to figure out how to make the design come alive in code, while dealing with deadlines, inter-and-out-department communication, and eventual delivery of our finished product. The Complete Developer in the Wild all leads to this!
