Web for developers

Almost everything we develop today communicates over the Internet or some form of network; from downloading a website to calling an API or building cloud solutions.  

We teach you - already a developer - the basic background works of the web and what you as a developer need to know in order to create and troubleshoot web solutions. All of the modules have practical exercises where you can experiment with the different concepts on your own.

Target audience

Developers who are new to the web
