What You Will Learn?

Front-End Engineering

You'll learn the basics of front-end engineering. We'll cover HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We'll cover how to create, style, and add interactivity to web pages.

Is this for me?

Because you don't need a special degree to become a software engineer, everyone has the potential to do it, but it's only going to work for those who enjoy it. So come give it a shot and see if you like coding. You have nothing to lost.
