Front-end Web Developer (Careers in Technology Series)

Be a Front-end Web Developer is your complete "Bootcamp in a Book": all the knowledge, hands-on interactive activities, and video explanations you need to make a career change, or get your first entry-level position in front-end web development after you graduate! Focused relentlessly on employability, it guides you through building finished projects you can show off to demonstrate the skills you've mastered.



Carefully integrated videos and online exercises take you even further towards practical productivity, and never make you repeat what you've already read. Working in a convenient code sandbox, you'll incrementally build multiple projects, including:



Attractive one-page marketing sites
Multimedia showcases embedding video, audio, rich text, and interactivity
A portfolio page offering an engaging user experience while bringing together all the content you've created throughout the entire course

Every new example builds on previous examples, deepening your knowledge and revealing how your incremental changes affect your pages. Each chapter ends with a comprehensive quiz testing your ability to write proper code, interpret existing code, and know when and why to implement each new feature.



As you work, you'll master basic modern programming techniques using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and even leverage modern libraries like Bootstrap and AngularJS -- tools that are in exceptionally high demand right now.
