This six-week course equips students with the fundamental tools of Web Development. You’ll master the concepts of Front and Back-end Web Development, and by the end of the course, you’ll be creating beautiful and responsive web projects. Interested in learning to code? Work with Developers and want to know how to communicate with the team, or perhaps you have the next big idea and want to learn the skills to build an MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? Then this course is for you. Classes will focus on building a coding foundation with languages like Ruby, HTML, and CSS and frameworks like Sinatra. You will learn the control flow of programs and responsive design and develop an understanding of how web apps are assembled.
What You’ll Learn
- Web Development 101: Explore the fundamentals of Web Development in a way that informs and empowers you. Learn about the different components of the Web and see how they fit together for the seamless web experience we’ve all come to expect.
- HTML & CSS: Learn how to use these core pillars of the web to create elegant and responsive web pages. Use HTML5 to build the structure of your projects and leverage the power of CSS3 to bring it to life.
- HTTP: HTTP is the universal protocol for transmitting data across the web. Learn how it works and how to use it to build compelling web applications.
- GitHub: GitHub is the version control platform used by the top 40% of developers worldwide. You’ll learn how to use its incredible features to keep tabs on changes and track the progress of the projects you create.
- Ruby: Ruby was built around simplicity and productivity and powers popular sites like Shopify, GitHub, Basecamp and YellowPages. You will learn how to use this simple but dynamic language to add more dynamism and functionality to your web projects.
- Sinatra Web Framework: Sinatra is a lightweight but powerful framework used alongside Ruby to build web applications. Designed to be quick and easy, you’ll learn how to use it to set up a web service with the least hassle.

I not only learned to code but went deep into the cybersecurity skills employers are looking for, like incident reporting and encryption and threat detection. I learned alongside great instructors working in the field and students who were mature (22-33) and serious about this career move. Best of all, I completed the program part-time, through live online sessions, in about 6 months. Excellent experience at Lighthouse Labs!

This was an intense experience (in a good way). It covered data foundations, wrangling, SQL, Python, Machine Learning, visualization, etc. in a really engaging way. Instructors were experts in their fields but also passionate about teaching. Great culture and vibe that comes down from the top. Career support still has a few wrinkles to work out but they were super helpful in the end and I did get a great job offer in the auto industry working on data, making a much better salary than I earned before.
FAQ
-
Which should I take: the Intro course or the Bootcamp?
Ask yourself: "Do I want to work as a professional developer?" If the answer is 'yes', then there is no question that the full-time or flex web development bootcamp is the program you need. The goal of our bootcamp is to transform you into a professional full-stack developer. You’ll come to understand coding logic, and learn how to think like a dev by building software from the ground up using industry-relevant technologies. Our program will provide you with mentorship, data-driven curriculum and a top-notch learning environment that will launch you into your first junior developer role. If the answer is 'not sure', taking our part-time course might be the best option.
-
Who should take part-time intro courses?
Our Intro to Web Development and Front End Fundamentals with JavaScript courses are excellent for people interested in learning how to code; people interested in learning how to communicate with a development team; people looking to gain career skills to help in a hybrid role; and people interested in learning if they enjoy development before taking our Bootcamp
