Front–end developer – programming issues in PHP, elements of HTML5 and CSS and effective use of basic knowledge of JavaScript

Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

Semantic HTML foundations - You will learn how to build a proper HTML page structure, use essential tags, and write clean markup that is easier to expand, maintain, test, and publish later on.

Styling pages with CSS - You will master selectors, classes, IDs, colors, fonts, spacing, and borders, so you can create a clear layout and give your pages a consistent, polished visual style.

Building interface elements - You will learn how to create lists, links, tables, forms, and image-based content, so you can build complete web pages that users can navigate and use comfortably.

JavaScript for page behavior - You will work with variables, functions, operators, conditions, loops, and arrays, allowing you to add logic to a page and build simple features that react to user actions.

Working with the DOM - You will understand how to access and update page elements through the DOM and how to use window, document, history, and location objects in practical browser-based tasks.

Avoiding common mistakes - You will review frequent HTML, CSS, and JavaScript errors, so you can diagnose issues faster, fix your code with more confidence, and reduce frustration during development.

PHP server-side basics - You will gain practical PHP basics, including variables, arrays, functions, conditions, and loops, helping you understand how simple applications and forms work on the server.

Publishing a live website - You will move from local files to a published website, learning how to prepare your project for deployment and make it available on a server so others can access it online.
