What You Will Learn

The Focus Web Development course is our bridging level training program designed for Indigenous students who want to deepen their knowledge of web development using JavaScript. It can also help to prepare you for our advanced Web Development Programs.

Every week, students will build on their understanding of coding logic and best practices, including skills such as variables, conditionals, functions, arrays, loops, objects, and more. These daily hands-on activities will culminate into a full capstone project where students will demonstrate their skills by building a web application. During this course you’ll learn:
  • How to read and write code
  • Make code run over and over through loops
  • Reuse code by creating functions
  • Have code make decisions
  • Have code take input
  • Have code create useful output
  • Work with numbers
  • Work with text
  • Find and fix bugs (they will happen)
  • Make code work with data structures
