Discover how to convert a website design into functional code, learn to track and manage changes using Git and GitHub, and increase your development speed dramatically with Emmet shortcuts and Visual Studio Code features. Develop your professional portfolio under the mentorship of an experienced instructor and gain valuable practical coding experience working on real-world projects.
Building Your Professional Portfolio
To succeed as a developer, you need both hands-on coding practice and a compelling portfolio of work to demonstrate to potential employers or clients. In this comprehensive class, you will learn how to take a professional website design and translate it into functional code yourself, working with expert guidance from your experienced instructor every step of the way.
Learn Git, GitHub, and Version Control
Git is the industry-standard version control system that tracks the changes you make to your files, providing a complete record of your development history so you can understand exactly what modifications were made and when they occurred; this also enables you to revert to any previous version if needed. Git also makes collaboration much easier, allowing changes from multiple developers to be integrated smoothly into one unified source. This skill has become essential for any professional coder.
Git can seem intimidating at first, especially because many developers use the command line to run Git. Rather than struggling with scary terminal commands, we'll teach you how to use Git directly within Visual Studio Code, which is the widely used free code editor. This approach makes using Git much simpler, more intuitive, and far more user-friendly for most developers.
We'll demystify Git completely and explain the typical workflows you'll encounter in real development projects. We'll cover the most essential Git features to get you productive and confident quickly.
