Who should attend:

This course is designed for anyone looking to improve their skill in front-end web development
Developers of all skill levels will enjoy this course; we start out at a basic level, and quickly ramp up to more advanced techniques
Introductory JavaScript programming concepts like variables, loops, and scope are not covered; if you’re an absolute beginner, this probably isn’t the course for you
Concepts in each lesson are clearly communicated, yet fast-paced and respectful of your time

Let’s build something.

Throughout the duration of this course, we use practical real-world scenarios to demonstrate fundamental web interaction development techniques.

Upon completion, you’ll have built an entire library of common web interaction components, including toggles, tabs, accordions, sliders, and more. These components are production-ready and can be easily deployed to any web application.

I can now say goodbye to npm install bloat!
