This path is for anyone who wants to enter programming from scratch with no prior experience. It begins with programming fundamentals and choosing a language, moves on to building interactive web pages, then to managing code and databases, and ends with building a server and APIs.
Why here: It lays the foundation for every later step: what programming is and how to choose a language to begin with.
After it you can: The learner will be able to use programming tools in practice, organize code and split programs so they are easy to maintain, and test code to make sure it runs without errors.
Why here: After the basics, the web is the closest field to practice in, and its pages start with HTML.
After it you can: The learner will be able to design and style web pages with HTML, CSS and Bootstrap, then publish and manage the site online.
Why here: A page built with HTML needs a language that lets it respond to the user, and that is the role of JavaScript.
After it you can: The learner will be able to write JavaScript code, develop dynamic web applications and implement interactions inside the page.
Why here: As projects grow, tracking changes and working with others becomes essential.
After it you can: The learner will be able to manage a project with version control, work on branches and merge changes, and push the project to GitHub and collaborate with contributors.
Why here: Most applications store their data in databases, so this course comes before building a server.
After it you can: The learner will be able to run basic and advanced SQL queries and manage databases and user permissions.
Why here: Once JavaScript and data are understood, the same language can be used on the server side.
After it you can: The learner will be able to create a Backend Server with Node.js, build RESTful APIs, organize the project with the MVC structure, and perform add, edit and delete operations.
Why here: The path ends by connecting applications to each other, at an intermediate level that builds on the server created in the previous step.
After it you can: The learner will be able to consume REST APIs in their applications, test and analyze API performance, and build effective and secure REST APIs from scratch.
