Which Courses Best Fit Your Needs?

There are many possible technologies and scripting languages to use when developing websites, so if you are already working for a company with an existing website, it is best to check in with your IT manager or Software Development manager to find out what technologies are currently in use and if there are plans to implement other technologies. You can then research courses based on those technologies and frameworks of interest.

For those of you that are new to website development, typically any web developer (regardless of whether they are planning to work primarily on the front-end or back-end) needs to have a basic understanding of HTML and Javascript. HOTT's Website Development with HTML5, CSS and Bootstrap and JavaScript Programming courses (shown in the Front-End table above) are excellent options for acquiring that fundamental knowledge.

Once you already know the basics of HTML and Javascript, on the front-end side there are numerous libraries and frameworks that can be used to develop web pages effectively, and many of them are Javascript-based. Angular, React and JQuery are all popular libraries/frameworks that leverage Javascript.

For the back-end (server-side) of things, two of the most popular options around are PHP and Node.js. PHP is an older and more established scripting language, but Node.js has had incredible popularity and adoption as an alternative to PHP.

If you're planning on taking multiple courses to satisfy your web development training needs, information and pricing on multi-class training passes is available here. You are always welcome to ask instructors of your courses for guidance on possible "next steps" based on your specific training needs, and if you ever change your mind or need to alter your curriculum, HOTT never has any cancellation fees! You can also Contact Us if you need preliminary assistance in choosing courses.

The instructor had a great grasp of the language, his years of industry experience really came through in the examples and tips. Although I came into the class with a lot of PHP knowledge, I am leaving it with a much more solid understanding of the fundamentals, and have gained some valuable techniques that I plan to utilize at once. I consider it time well spent.
