[Intermediate] Modern Full-Stack Development Foundations - From Vanilla JS to Web Applications

This learning track bridges the gap between knowing JavaScript and becoming a full-stack developer. You will stop writing isolated scripts and start building complete, modern web applications. We will construct a professional front-end with React and Next.js, build a type-safe back-end API with Node.js and Express, and then integrate and deploy the two halves into a single, cohesive product. This programme is for the developer who has mastered the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and is ready to build real-world applications. It is the essential next step for front-end developers aiming for full-stack roles, and for back-end developers seeking to master the modern JavaScript ecosystem. At the end of this learning track, you will be able to build, integrate, and deploy a complete, type-safe, full-stack web application using the modern professional stack. This track provides the end-to-end skills required to secure a role as a modern full-stack web developer.

React Foundations: Building Modern Web Apps with TypeScript and Next.js - Web Development (Professional Practice)
React Foundations: Building Modern Web Apps with TypeScript and Next.js - Web Development (Professional Practice)
This course moves beyond static documents. It teaches you to build dynamic, interactive web applications using the professional React ecosystem. You will master the fundamentals of React's component-based architecture, ensure your code is robust and error-free with TypeScript, and build production-ready applications using the Next.js framework. This is the modern standard for front-end development. The skills taught here are a direct response to industry demand. Companies build scalable, maintainable applications with this exact stack: React for the user interface, TypeScript for safety, and Next.js for performance and structure. This is not academic theory; this is the practical skillset required to build complex, real-world products and to contribute effectively to a professional development team. Upon completion, you will build full applications using React's component model and manage state with Hooks. You will write type-safe code using TypeScript to define props and state. You will structure a multi-page application using the Next.js App Router, fetch data from external sources, and understand modern rendering patterns like Server Components. This course is designed for developers with a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. It is the essential next step for aspiring front-end and full-stack engineers. It is also highly valuable for backend developers seeking to understand the modern front-end, and for UI/UX designers who want to build high-fidelity, functional prototypes.

Node.js Foundations: Building Type-Safe APIs with Express and Prisma - Web Development (Professional Practice)
Node.js Foundations: Building Type-Safe APIs with Express and Prisma - Web Development (Professional Practice)
A front-end is only half the application. This course teaches you how to build the other half: the powerful, server-side API. We will use the modern, professional stack of Node.js, Express, and Prisma, with TypeScript enforcing type safety from the database to the API response. This is how robust, production-grade back-ends are built. The skills taught here are a direct response to industry demand. Companies require fast, scalable, and maintainable back-end services. This stack allows you to build exactly that, providing a type-safe connection between your application and its data. This is the practical skillset required to build real-world products and secure a modern back-end or full-stack development role. You will build a complete REST API from scratch using Node.js and Express. You will learn to model your database schema with Prisma, perform all core CRUD operations in a type-safe manner, and structure your application for professional-grade maintainability. This course is designed for developers with a solid understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript who want to master back-end development. It is the essential next step for front-end developers moving to full-stack, as well as for back-end developers from other languages looking to learn the modern Node.js ecosystem.

Full-Stack Foundations: Integrating and Deploying Web Applications - Web Development (Professional Practice)
Full-Stack Foundations: Integrating and Deploying Web Applications - Web Development (Professional Practice)
A front-end and a back-end are useless in isolation. The real work of a developer is to make them communicate. This course teaches the final, critical step: integrating a front-end client with a back-end API to create a single, cohesive application, and then deploying that application to the web for the world to use. This is where you stop building parts and start building products. An un-deployed application has zero value. The skills taught here bridge the gap between local development and a live, production-ready product that can handle real users. This is the complete, end-to-end workflow that employers expect and what is required to launch your own projects. It is the transition from writing code to shipping applications. You will integrate a modern front-end with a back-end API. You will manage data flow, handle authentication, and prepare a full-stack application for a production environment. Finally, you will learn the principles of deployment and push your finished application to a live server. This course is for the developer who has foundational knowledge of both front-end and back-end frameworks but has not yet combined them. It is the essential final step for those aiming for full-stack roles and for specialized developers who need to understand the complete application lifecycle to be effective.
