Full-Stack Web Development

Introduction To HTML And CSS

Novain Technologies' Full-Stack Development program begins by laying the foundation with an intensive introduction to HTML and CSS. Our students learn to craft well-structured HTML documents and stylize them using CSS, mastering the core building blocks of web development. The curriculum delves into modern layout techniques, including Flexbox and Grid, and introduces Bootstrap for rapid, responsive design. Students complete this unit by applying their new skills to build functional and polished web interfaces.

JavaScript Basics

This unit takes students on an explorative journey through JavaScript, from basic principles to the construction of interactive web functionalities. As students grasp JavaScript's syntax and essential constructs, such as variables, data types, and conditional statements, they will learn to create web pages that respond and adapt to user input. Through practical exercises in loops, functions, and DOM manipulation, each learner will develop the skills to bring websites to life, crafting immersive digital experiences that captivate and engage users.

Object-Oriented JavaScript

In this unit, our focus shifts to the object-oriented features of JavaScript. Students will uncover the principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) as they apply to JavaScript, diving into concepts like objects, prototypes, constructors, and inheritance. By mastering these concepts, students will be able to structure their code more efficiently, promoting reusability and maintainability. They will learn how to encapsulate functionalities into objects, model real-world scenarios, and harness the full power of JavaScript to develop complex, scalable web applications.

The React Library

The React Library unit offers a deep dive into one of the most popular JavaScript libraries for building user interfaces. Students will learn the fundamentals of React, including components, state, and props, and how to create efficient, declarative UIs with JSX. This module also covers the concepts of component lifecycle, hooks, and state management with Redux, providing students with a comprehensive skill set to build sophisticated and scalable single-page applications.

Version Control

Understanding version control is pivotal for any developer's toolkit, and this unit is dedicated to mastering this skill. Students will delve into the essentials of version control systems, with a focus on Git, the industry-standard software for tracking changes in source code during software development. Through practical sessions, learners will grasp the concepts of branches, merges, commits, and pull requests, enabling collaboration and contributing to open-source projects. This knowledge is crucial for maintaining a clear history of code changes and for working effectively in a team environment.

Server-Side Development: PHP & Python (Flask)

This unit dives into server-side development with an emphasis on PHP and Python using the Flask framework. Students will learn PHP for crafting dynamic websites that can handle complex data and user interactions. They will also explore Python with Flask to build scalable and secure web applications. The course covers database integration, form processing, session management, and the essentials of RESTful API development, equipping students with versatile back-end skills.

Deployment

The Deployment unit equips students with the practical skills required to deploy and manage web applications across different environments. Focusing on Heroku, GitHub, and Netlify, the course covers essential deployment practices, including version control integration, domain configuration, and secure HTTPS deployment. Students will learn how to use these platforms to deploy static sites, dynamic applications, and manage updates through continuous deployment workflows, ensuring their projects are accessible, performant, and secure on the web.

Capstone Project

The Capstone Project is the grand finale of our program, providing students with the opportunity to apply everything they have learned into a comprehensive project. Under the guidance of our experienced mentors, students will conceptualize, design, and implement a real-world application or solution using the tools and technologies they have mastered. This project not only consolidates and enhances their learning but also serves as a valuable portfolio piece for potential employers, demonstrating their proficiency and creativity in tackling complex, practical problems in tech.

Throughout this unit, students will refine their problem-solving skills, learn project management techniques, and enhance their ability to work collaboratively in teams. They will also gain invaluable experience in presenting their work, both technically and persuasively, to peers, instructors, and industry professionals.
