Let's Build Frontend Projects!

In this course you'll dive into CSS and JavaScript with hands-on, advanced projects that bring theory to life.

From creating stunning designs with CSS to adding dynamic functionality with JavaScript, you’ll practice essential skills for web development.

Each project builds on the skills you've honed in the previous project, ensuring you progressively improve your skills and that by the end you’ll have a portfolio of projects and the confidence to tackle real-world challenges!

What Does This Course Cover?

This course equips you with a wide range of skills and technologies that are essential for modern web development.

You'll dive into the intricacies of DOM manipulation and event handling. By building a real-time typing test app, you'll learn how to capture and respond to user inputs, track performance dynamically, and create interactive web experiences. This module sharpens your JavaScript skills and gives you hands-on practice with real-time event processing.

Responsive design and theming are another critical focus. You’ll explore how to create responsive tables and implement light and dark mode switching using CSS variables and JavaScript. These techniques improve accessibility and make your applications adaptable to different user preferences and devices.

Data visualization and persistent storage are introduced through an expense tracker project. Using Chart.js, you’ll design dynamic charts that visualize financial data. You'll also work with browser local storage to ensure user data is preserved, building skills in both client-side storage and responsive interface design.

API integration and game logic come to life in a quiz game module. You’ll fetch questions dynamically using APIs, handle user input, and manage scores via a backend proxy API. This module deepens your understanding of asynchronous data handling and JavaScript logic, essential for dynamic web applications.

Finally, the course introduces full-stack development with a podcast player project. You’ll leverage Node.js and Express to create a seamless application that integrates with APIs and manages local storage. By deploying the app on a platform like Render, you’ll also gain experience in deploying and maintaining web applications, completing your journey into full-stack development.
