Program Overview
The Web Development Program consists of eight courses meticulously crafted to provide you with essential knowledge, practical real-world experience, and vital soft skills required to embark on a fulfilling career as a full-stack developer. Throughout the program, students will delve into the intricacies of back-end and front-end fundamentals, software architecture, databases, and data modeling, as well as component-based design. Additionally, students will gain proficiency in various programming languages, software tools, and frameworks, including JavaScript, CSS, HTML, SQL, MongoDB, Git, Node.js, React.js, and TypeScript.
During the initial three months, students will receive a comprehensive introduction to programming fundamentals. This foundational knowledge is pivotal in equipping them with the skills needed to extract maximum value from the advanced courses that follow later in the program.
Our objective is to shape students into well-prepared professionals ready to enter the job market with confidence. The cornerstone of our approach lies in a hands-on teaching methodology, which serves as the catalyst for the quickest path to becoming a proficient full-stack developer in Canada.
This course aims to initiate students into the dynamic realm of web development, offering a comprehensive exploration of fundamental concepts, skills, and tools within the fields of computer science and technology. The curriculum spans from operational systems to a diverse array of programming languages and their respective platforms, providing a holistic understanding of the ever-expanding landscape of web development.
This practical web development course serves as an introductory exploration of HTML5 and CSS3, establishing a robust foundation for subsequent courses.
Moreover, the curriculum encompasses the JavaScript programming language, information architecture, web form interaction, UI/UX web design concepts, and web analytics. Additionally, students will delve into essential topics such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) software and adherence to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards.
Building on the foundation established in Web Development I, this course propels students further into honing their HTML5 and CSS3 programming skills. Emphasis will be placed on leveraging multiple frameworks to enhance website functionality and elevate user experience.
Specifically, the curriculum will delve into advanced topics, including asynchronous applications, the utilization of APIs, and proficiency in JQuery. This progression ensures that students not only deepen their understanding of core technologies but also gain practical expertise in employing frameworks for enhanced web development.
Throughout this course, students will immerse themselves in the concept and application of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), a programming paradigm centered around the use of objects and classes to structure and manage code, as well as to organize data effectively.
Within the classroom setting, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of key OOP elements, including classes, objects, data types, constructors, methods, flow control, collections, data abstraction, modularity, testing, and debugging. Furthermore, the course will explore the practical applications of specific object-oriented programming concepts, such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
React, a JavaScript library tailored for building user interfaces, takes center stage in this dynamic and hands-on course. Building upon the foundations established in Web Development I and II, students will channel their acquired knowledge to craft fast and modular applications utilizing React, Document Object Model (DOM), JavaScript ES6, JSX, and Redux.
The primary focus of this course is on structuring and developing industry-standard single-page applications.
Node.js stands as a distinctive tool, empowering developers to employ JavaScript for both front-end and back-end development. This cross-platform, open-source server environment enables developers to execute JavaScript code on the server side.
In this comprehensive course, students will leverage their existing skills to construct web applications using Node.js. Beyond that, the curriculum extends to teaching students how to establish their own databases and seamlessly connect them with servers.
Prior to program completion, students will have the unique opportunity to apply their accumulated knowledge and skills by embarking on the creation of a real-world web application.
This culminating course is designed to equip students with invaluable hands-on experience in developing their own product. The process begins with the formulation of a comprehensive project proposal, which undergoes approval. Upon approval, students commence the actual development process, culminating in a final presentation where they showcase their work.
Armed with their newly acquired expertise, program graduates can explore a myriad of roles within the dynamic tech industry. Options include pursuing careers as front-end developers, where they would be responsible for designing and implementing user interfaces, or as back-end developers, focusing on server-side development and proficient database management. Additionally, graduates may opt to delve into opportunities as full-stack developers, combining both front-end and back-end skills to create comprehensive web solutions.
The consistently high and growing demand for web developers in Canada opens up a plethora of employment opportunities for program graduates. They can anticipate fulfilling roles across diverse sectors such as e-commerce, software development, digital marketing, and more.
Cornerstone is committed to supporting its graduates in their transition into the Canadian technology industry by offering job placement assistance. Our aim is to empower them by identifying their unique strengths and preferences, guiding them toward a fulfilling career path.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will have the opportunity to explore various roles, including but not limited to:
It’s worth noting that the average salary for these roles in Canada is approximately $63,572 CAD per year.
