Web Development Certificate – Web Essentials

Web development is experiencing a huge demand for coders, but to get your foot in the door of this industry, you will need to be certified. There are very few certifications available and even fewer for novice coders.

Beginners in the world of web development must understand a few essentials before progressing into a specialization such as advanced Python. This is where the Web Development Essentials certification comes in. Devised by the Linux Professional Institute, it covers all the basics you need to know and leads to an industry-recognized certification.

This certification course takes you from zero knowledge to intermediate level in the following areas:

• Software Development and Web Technologies
• HTML Document Markup
• CSS Content Styling
• JavaScript Programming
• Node.js Server Programming

Using free software, we show you how to configure simple web pages, add styling, javascript commands, document-object models, and much more. Each module ends with an exercise, and the course features exam-style questions to prepare you for the exam.

By the end of the course, you will be confident in using software development tools and be ready to apply for entry-level jobs.

This course prepares you for the latest version of the Web Development Certificate Exam – 1.0 (Exam code 030-100).

Coding Jobs

All novice coders must begin somewhere. In order to build up the experience, we recommend you look for novice coding jobs such as:

• Junior web developer – HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails to code applications and websites
• Junior web designers – usually use HTML and CSS to make their mockups for their clients
• Data analyst – coding languages like SQL, R, or Python to accomplish your tasks.
• Freelance coder
