Web Development Foundations (WDF) explores Internet history, coding principles, and languages. WDF teaches HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so students can design, create, and breathe life into visually appealing web pages. Upon completion of this course, students will have a solid understanding of computer science principles and the ability to code interactive web pages from scratch.
Through a combination of follow-along projects and self-directed activities, students build a unique coding project portfolio demonstrating the skills and knowledge they acquire.
STEM connections embedded in this course reinforce relevant science and math concepts to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
Upon completing this course, students will be prepared to earn the following industry-recognized certification(s):
This course covers the following:
