Some benefits of this course
Get started with web development the right way!
Beginner Friendly
This course was written with the absolute beginner in mind. We will give you all you need to know to be able to complete this experience and reach your goals. All you need is your computer, and this Skill Foundry course!
Hands on Practice
You'll have access to many practice projects, and truly get your hands on the keyboard to learn web development. You get to practice all of your skills to bring your own web pages to life!
A Supportive Community
Get your questions answered in our Discord server where you can interact with your peers and our team of professional mentors.
The Right Path Forward!
Too many online resources use in-browser exercises with hints, frameworks that abstract how applications work, AI that thinks for you, and other shortcuts. We believe this is the wrong way to get started. Technical concepts in development build on eachother, so it's vital to build a strong foundation of knowledge to prepare for more advanced concepts.
Here are all the things you will learn in this course!

Module 00 : Getting Started
In this module, we'll set expectations on how to complete the course. You'll also get the knowledge of how to get to course source code on GitHub, as well as installing your developer environment.
Module 01: How the Web Works
Before you can make web pages, you need to know how the web works. This module will get you started with the fundamentals of networking and the ecosystem of modern web applications.
Module 02: Introduction to HTML
Get started with HTML documents! HTML is used to organize our content. Without styles, we will make some ugly, but well organized, pages.
Module 03: Introduction to CSS
Now that we understand HTML, it is time to start styling our pages! This module gives you the fundamentals of how CSS is applied to HTML elements and demonstrates modern layout techniques including Flexbox and Grid.
Module 05: Capstone Projects
Now that you've been introduced to all of the fundamentals of web development, its time to bring it all together into cumulative projects to demonstrate and practice your skills. This includes FOUR capstones to work with!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I just learn this all for free on my own?
Many beginners overlook the time and effort required to piece together a free learning pathway. Some resources are out-of-date, others provide information but lack projects to use for practice, some communities aren’t welcoming to beginners, others simply aren’t of good quality.
In fact, researchers at MIT have found that free resources like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are generally ineffective, with completion rates below 6% for free learners.
Bottom line, finding the right resources in the right order at the right time is frustrating and time consuming. All information can be had for free, go to a local library! Curation of quality content, crafted by professionals, and backed by a supportive community is valuable! We encourage you to compare our free sample to the free providers. Our content and teaching style has been evolving for over a decade and has successfully trained thousands of learners to write professional code. There’s a reason why Fortune 500 companies have hired Eric and team to design and run their training programs.

Is Web Development hard to learn?
How is this different from a bootcamp?
Our founder used to own an operate a bootcamp and we've deliberately structured Skill Foundry to be different in some critical ways:
- Our subscription is month-to-month: This gives our learners the flexibility to fit our programs around their life.
- More Affordable Support: At many bootcamps, you are paying for an instructor (often a graduate, not an experienced professional) to be available 20-40 hours per week regardless of whether you need them. Our Discord community allows you to ask questions and get answers from experienced professionals and your peers on-demand, eliminating that cost. If you need 1:1 time, you can book that directly with one of our mentors for an additional fee that is substantially lower than bootcamp rates.
- Increased Rigor: A big issue with bootcamp programs is that they are time-boxed and so are limited in the amount of content and the depth that they can go into certain topics. Our model allows us to go deeper and build in more activities and challenging projects because we aren't constrained like bootcamps are.
