This course provides a solid foundation in programming and front-end web development. You’ll master JavaScript essentials, including syntax, control structures, and data manipulation, while learning how to create and style static web pages using HTML and CSS.

Through interactive exercises and a guided project, you’ll explore DOM manipulation to make web pages dynamic and responsive. You’ll also learn how to work with REST APIs to fetch and display data, bridging the gap between front-end and back-end development.

By the end of the course, you’ll have practical experience using Git for version control and a strong foundation to continue learning JavaScript or other programming languages. Whether you're looking to enhance your career or start coding from scratch, this course equips you with the skills to succeed.
