Lehi Trades & Tech Building
This program provides students with the knowledge of computational, problem-solving, and practical skills needed to integrate and deploy modern websites and web applications. Students will adapt and use industry-standard tools, including modern client-side and server-side languages, and relational or non-relational database structures, to frameworks used in the web industry today.
Experienced web developers and software engineers, working in the industry, provide instruction, and share knowledge and skill sets as they mentor the students. This program is designed to give students the skills needed to be a Front-End, Junior-Level, Web Developer, or Quality Assurance Technician.
Students will learn basic Front-End Development including Source Control, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and Sass. They will then spend the majority of the program learning JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular and React. The remainder of the program will cover Back-End Development as it relates to Back-End servers, Database, Hosting, Deployment, Security and Automated QA. Throughout the program, students will complete a series of professional portfolio projects. Finally, students will complete an externship, in order to receive a certificate of completion for the program.
Adults and high school seniors only.
