Description:
The Computer Studies: Web and Mobile Front-End Developer Non-Credit Certificate of Completion is
designed to provide students with the skills needed to succeed in the field of website development.
Web content developers may be employed as Website Designers/ Developers, Desktop Publishing
Specialists, Desktop Publishers, or Graphic Designers. The training stresses usage of the web as a
platform to deliver solutions to business problems. Students will gain an understanding of the relevant
web technologies, the most common software and hardware products, the resources necessary to
support a site, and the requirements of site maintenance. The curriculum covers Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, site maintenance, and problem-solving skills.
Web Fundamentals certification is based on a thorough knowledge and practical experience working on
websites. Web developers are responsible for creating the majority of webpages that make up a
website. The Web Developer is responsible for assembling and organizing site content, making the
pages, loading them onto the web, and testing them on various browsers and hardware configurations.
Depending on the project, a Web Developer may also be asked to edit the written content and make
minor modifications to images.
The training provides a thorough understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the web development
cycle. The program stresses the practical application of web development skills in real life projects. The
ability to work in a group, communicate with a client, resolve problems, meet deadlines, and understand
the web development cycle are just as important as understanding web development tools or creating
webpages. This hands-on approach ensures that as students complete the program, they will have
practical experience, as well as working websites to feature in an electronic portfolio. As a non-credit
offering mirrored with an existing for-credit pathway, this certificate will appeal to working professionals
and others who do not seek college credit.
A successful Web Developer exhibits a strong work ethic, high standards, patience, strong people skills,
and shows attention to detail.
Job titles include: Web Production Specialist, Web Developer, Internet Developer, JavaScript Coder, and
HTML Developer.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Develop competency in specific web development skills in the area of coding, validation and user
interface;
- Apply the skills of effective communication, time management, problem solving, and client
management as they plan and produce a website; and
