  The journey begins with HTML, the backbone of web content, where you’ll learn how to create and structure web pages using various HTML elements and attributes. You will also dive into CSS for styling, including layout techniques such as Flexbox.
• JavaScript Basics
  JavaScript is the programming language that adds interactivity to web pages. You’ll start with the basics of JavaScript, covering variables, functions, and event handling. You’ll learn how to manipulate the DOM (Document Object Model) to change the content and structure of web pages dynamically.
• Advanced JavaScript
  Next, we’ll take a deeper look into ES6 features such as arrow functions, promises, and template literals. This section also covers asynchronous JavaScript, where you’ll learn about callbacks, promises, and async/await to handle operations that take time, like API requests.
• Introduction to React.js
  React.js is one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. This section will introduce React components, props, and state, which are the building blocks of React applications. You will also learn about JSX, a syntax extension that combines HTML with JavaScript, and how the Virtual DOM works to optimize performance.
• Advanced React.js
  In this part, you will master React’s advanced features, such as hooks, Context API, and React Router for managing navigation. You’ll also learn how to manage state effectively in larger applications using Redux, a powerful state management library.

Back-End Expertise

This module will introduce you to the back-end development technologies that are vital for building the server-side of full-stack applications. We’ll focus on Java-based technologies like Spring and Hibernate, which are widely used for creating robust and scalable applications.

• Introduction to Web Development
  You’ll start by learning the fundamentals of web development, including the HTTP protocol, RESTful architecture, and web servers. This knowledge forms the foundation for understanding how web applications work at a basic level.
• Spring Framework Basics
  Spring is one of the most popular frameworks for building Java-based applications. In this section, you’ll explore Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC), which are core concepts in Spring. You will also learn how to create and manage Spring Boot applications, following the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture.
• Data Access with Hibernate
  Hibernate is a powerful Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool that helps map Java objects to database tables. This section covers Hibernate setup, CRUD operations, and Hibernate Query Language (HQL), giving you the skills to manage databases with ease.
• Building RESTful APIs
  In today’s world of distributed systems, creating APIs is a crucial skill. You’ll learn the principles of REST (Representational State Transfer) and how to implement RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, ensuring that your back-end can communicate effectively with the front-end.
• Security and Authentication
  Security is a top priority for any application. This module covers Spring Security, focusing on securing your applications with OAuth2 and JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for authentication and authorization.
• Microservices Architecture
  In modern application development, breaking down large monolithic applications into smaller, manageable microservices is a common practice. In this section, you’ll be introduced to microservices and learn how to build them using Spring Cloud.

Database Management

This module provides the skills needed to work with relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. You will learn how to design databases, write complex queries, and manage data efficiently.

• Introduction to Databases
  The first step is to learn about databases, their design, and normalization. You’ll also cover entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) to visually represent database structures and relationships.
