Start the Web Development JavaScript Program

Program Details

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Web Development with JavaScript program is ideal for those people who, without ever having coded before, want to quickly acquire a solid base of front and back-end development. From day one, you'll be working on practical projects developing both web and mobile applications with these languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue, Bootstrap and MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js). Shorter and more intensive than our Java Development program, in just 3 months you will have the experience you need to launch your career as a full stack developer without having to delve into complex programming.

WHY FULL-STACK WITH JAVASCRIPT/MERN?

"So many young, cool technology companies are using MERN stack aggressively. In terms of the dynamic UI frameworks in JavaScript, React has huge market adoption at around 75% compared to Angular and Vue."

What You’ll Learn

It might seem like an impossible task to learn how to code and become a developer, but I assure it isn't!

What is MERN?

“MERN” is an acronym for four tools: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. These four tools, when integrated together as a stack architecture, allow you to perform certain back-end functions without having to learn a whole new back-end language. While traditional back-end languages like Java are essential in the corporate world and for large-scale software development, MERN Stack is a very solid alternative for the initial stages of startups and boasts a huge demand on the market.

Take a look at Anna's intuitive, beautifully designed MYtinerary app she built using JavaScript. Having previously trained as a UX designer, Anna combined her eye for design and her newly acquired technical knowledge to get this fantastic result.

Project 1

In just 2 weeks in the Web Development JavaScript you will have created your first website from scratch with HTML and CSS. Your task will be to design and code a website for a football league, test it to verify that it complies with the W3C standards, and make sure it works on any web browser, always with the personalized support of your mentor, who will guide you in the different processes of design, creation, and testing.

“I don't have a background in graphic design nor in programming but I love what I'm learning because there are no limits to what you can make.”

Project 2

The Government of the United States has hired you to develop an interactive platform on which voters can see all of Congress' legislative activity. This will be your second project: to create a dynamic website with JavaScript, JSON, AJAX, and Vue.js, integrating current and real public data provided by US Congress.

In carrying out this project you will learn to develop algorithms to treat and segment information, and you will use JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to implement the user interface. Be sure to test and debug the code later!

Open Government Website

Marí Potgieter

"As I had never programmed in JavaScript before, it was a challenge. But it was worth it because I learned new skills and the end result was a functional website that I can highlight in my portfolio."

Project 3

In your third project of the Web Development JavaScript course, you will optimise the football league website that you created in the first two weeks to make it responsive and look good across all devices by using Bootstrap and JavaScript. You will also learn how to code a synchronous chat for the website.

You'll use Firebase and jQuery to add user interface elements and improve the design and functionality of your first project at Ubiqum.

100% Responsive Website

"As a civil engineer, I had no experience in programming, yet in the third project, after just 5 weeks at Ubiqum, everything seemed possible!"

Project 4

In the fourth project, you'll develop a web app for the travel and hospitality market. The product, MYtinerary.com, allows local experts to create their ideal routes to share on the app. For example, you can create the perfect afternoon in Berlin, a 4-hour “MYtinerary”, or the perfect weekend in Amsterdam, a 36-hour “MYtinerary”.

You will create the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) based on the requirements defined by wireframes and associated user stories, provided by the Product Manager. During a total of 6 "Sprints", you will work according to the principles of Agile methodology, completing the tasks assigned to you and ensuring that your MVP complies with the established requirements.

With the ”MERN” stack framework, you will create your back-end setup with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, before getting your front-end app started with React.

What you'll do:
- Build various dynamic user interface (UI) elements in React
- Set up a runtime environment in Node.js and Express
- Translate Agile-based business requirements and user stories into measurable business logic
- And much more
