About this course:
Designed for both UX designers and aspiring engineers, this course introduces the essential tools of modern front-end web development using React. Students receive a hands-on walkthrough of the front-end development lifecycle, from setting up an environment to deploying a fully functional, responsive web application. Through weekly guided builds, students develop a single-page React application while exploring topics such as semantic HTML, CSS styling, JavaScript functionality, responsive design, and form handling. By the end of the course, students will adapt their core application into a custom project such as a personal portfolio, company site, or creative subject of their choosing.Fall 2025 Schedule
