ReDI Career Track: Web Development

Course Overview

In December 1995 JavaScript was released to the world and changed the World Wide Web from a static experience to a more dynamic one. Almost 30 years later, the language has been updated and it remains a core building block of the Web. JavaScript can take a tired Webpage and make it move interactive. Every Website and service we use has JavaScript within the pages.

This course provides you with a solid foundation of JavaScript (ES6) programming, building up your abilities to then create a Final Project with everything you’ve learned.

Testimonials

“The ReDI School has had a tremendously positive impact on my career path. I'm still wondering what to do next, but I know that integrating digital skills definitely opens doors.”

“I am just a newbie to Tech and I see a long way ahead, but I always feel motivated. Thank you and I am glad that ReDI is always by my side throughout this journey.”

“When I say the opportunity I had at ReDI School was life changing, it was because I saw that it was worth coming here, betting my last coins and actually staying in Berlin and bulding my life here. Everything is still in a process. But for the first time, I feel strong enough and useful with the skill I learned this semester. Thank you”
