Take a step into the world of web development with Introduction to Front-End Web Development - Bootstrap! This engaging course will teach you the foundations of Bootstrap, from containers and grids to pagination. With hands-on assignments, quizzes, and a final project, you will gain the skills and confidence to start building your own website and start your journey in front-end web development.
Course Description
In an Introduction to Front-End Web Development - Bootstrap, students will endeavor to learn the fundamentals of Bootstrap, a free front-end framework for faster and easier web development. This course is designed for beginners and provides a hands-on, structured approach to learning Bootstrap, from containers and grids to slightly more advanced concepts like pagination. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in Bootstrap, empowering them to begin creating well-structured, interactive, and coherent web pages.
Each class introduces a specific concept in Bootstrap, accompanied by practical exercises and assignments to reinforce learning. Throughout the course, students will gain proficiency with essential tools like Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Quizzes and a final project will assess comprehension, while homework assignments submitted via GitHub will provide continuous opportunities for applied practice. Topics covered include containers, grids, typography, colors, tables, forms, jumbotrons, alerts, buttons, button groups, badges, progress bars, spinners, pagination, list groups, cards, drop downs, collapsibles, navs, and navbars.
This course emphasizes hands-on learning. Students will complete four quizzes on Caravel, while the final project will be a portfolio web page submitted to the student’s GitHub repo. Grading is distributed as follows: homework (20%), quizzes (20%), and final project (60%). By the end of the course, students will not only have a command of Bootstrap but also the confidence to continue their journey in web development.

Web Dev End-to-End Learning Roadmap
Most programming courses, especially at the college level, are often fragmented, focusing on individual technologies used in web development without providing a cohesive understanding of how these pieces fit together. This lack of integration can leave students with gaps in their knowledge and an incomplete picture of the web development process.
To address this, I am creating a series of courses designed to teach students the full end-to-end process of web development, rather than isolating specific aspects. These courses aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how different technologies and concepts work together to build functional, modern web applications.
At the same time, I am designing the introductory-level courses to be accessible to beginners, with no prerequisites. This allows students who are curious about web development to explore specific topics, such as front-end design or back-end programming, without needing prior experience. The goal is to create a flexible learning path that caters to both beginners and those seeking a deeper, more integrated understanding of web development.

Homework
Homework will be assigned at the end of each class and is due prior to the next class. Each homework assignment will be submitted to GitHub via git. Students can expect to spend 30 to 45 minutes 2-3 days a week working on their homework and studying for quizzes. Students who follow along with coding on a separate computer or by writing down the coding examples on paper can expect to spend less time on homework.
