Few industries change faster than technology. Specifically, the web development world is a constantly ever-shifting landscape of languages, frameworks, libraries, platforms and more. For those new to this field, it can be overwhelming. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the current areas of full stack web development and examine the trends that will impact your career in the near future. This is a great primer for those looking to break into the software field but are having trouble knowing where to begin.



WHAT WE WILL BUILD

During the workshop, we will code a simple full-stack (backend + frontend) website that renders dynamic data using Node, Express, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. In doing so, we will dissect the underlying pieces and their relation to the overall web development ecosystem (Javascript, jQuery, Bootstrap, etc.) Finally, we will deploy our projects to the Turbo 360 staging environment where it will be live for the world to see.
