When working with multiple developers, it’s important to know which changes each developer has made. Explore how to use Git for version control to store your code and revisions, create a repository, initialize a repository, and add, commit, push and pull files.
Prerequisite: CSS
– JavaScript: Interactive Code
When someone visits your website, they interact with it. Learn how to use JavaScript to provide interactivity to your website users through client-side scripts. It’s also commonly used in server-side programming, game development, and desktop application creation.
Prerequisite: Git
– Test-Driven Development
Put your code to the test! Test-driven development is a software development process that integrates coding, design and testing together into one workflow. Learn the basics of JUnit for testing Java code and Spring for integration testing. Explore how to write tests for variables, objects, and arrays.
Prerequisite: JavaScript
– Web Design and Project Planning
Learn the basic principles of design for the web. Gain a foundation in project planning by learning how to create user stories, feature lists, wireframes and using basic tools for building database diagrams.
Prerequisite: Test Driven Development

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. With an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers, it simplifies several web development processes. Learn how to use jQuery selectors, events, essential methods, effects, and Ajax requests.
Prerequisite: Web Design and Project Planning
– Java I
Dive deeper into the world of JavaScript, an interpreted computer programming language. Allow web users to control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed.
Prerequisite: jQuery
– Java II
Continue building on your Java foundation. Explore concepts such as Object-Oriented Programming, Arrays, and File Manipulation.
Prerequisite: Java I
– MySQL
Learn to use MySQL, a relational database management system. You’ll learn to manage data in MySQL databases, a central component of most web development software stacks.
Prerequisite: Java II
– Java III
Continue building on Java I and II. Learn the basics of Model-View-Controller (MVC), a software pattern that allows for a more organized, more easily maintained codebase. Learn how to use Servlets, as well as how Java and MySQL interact with each other.
