Front-end Web Development
If a web application were a car, HTML would be the steel frame, CSS the paint, and JavaScript the engine. Learn the basics and then some: Responsive Design, React, Command Line, Frameworks, APIs, Version Control (Git), Debugging, and much more.
Back-end Web Development
Applications with no back-end are limited in their functionality, thus the demand for "full stack" developers: JS, Python, Databases, Node.js, Express, Terminal, Npm Modules, Get & Post, HTTP, Hosting — the list goes on.
What is the Web Development Certificate?
Our part-time web development certificate is designed to give students an introduction to web development and the skills needed to pursue a career path in tech. Our curriculum includes courses on both front-end and back-end development to provide students with a well-rounded experience in the different areas of web development.
"developer" = "engineer" = "coder"
Students will have the option of learning online or in person at our Atlanta campus in a bootcamp format. Bootcamp classes are held in the evenings and on Saturdays allowing students the ability to continue in their day job while studying new skills.

Full-Time | Part-Time
The below schedule is meant to demonstrate a typical day, but every class is different.
10:00am–1:00pm ET
Weekdays | Lectures & Assignments
Every day varies depending on your instructor or how far you are in the curriculum. You might start with a lecture, complete algorithmic exercises, participate in paired programming, or build portfolio projects.
1:45pm–6:00pm ET
Weekdays | Projects & Labs
After a 1-hour break for lunch, class resumes. Students can expect to spend most of their time immersed in code development throughout the program. Whether coding solo or as part of a SCRUM team, you'll work to build fully-functional sites and applications that you can be proud to show off.
6:30pm–9:30pm ET
Tuesday & Thursday Evenings
Like the full-time program, your day-to-day will vary. Classes will include lectures, exercises, in-class assignments, and active participation. You’ll sometimes work in simulated team settings with paired programming, groups, and breakout sessions.
10:00am–2:00pm ET
Saturdays
Saturdays in the web dev program will pick up lectures and exercises from earlier in the week. Later weeks are reserved for project and lab time. Because class sessions are shorter and meet less often, students are also expected to complete assigned development homework and projects outside of class hours.
Accelerated Learning and Continued Development
Workload
Maximum Effort Required
This program will challenge you, and after a full day of class our students are often charged with completing additional assignments designed to push their abilities as far as possible given such a condensed amount of time. This commitment of time and energy requires grit and determination, but you can do it if you believe in yourself and put in the work.
Elective Workshops
Exclusive Benefit for Students & Alumni
A career in web development requires a lifetime commitment to learning new skills and technologies. We hold elective workshops for students and alumni to help provide continuing education opportunities in various complementary topics. Every technology professional has heard the interview question, "Do you have experience with _?" This is our way of filling in the blank.
As someone who didn't have a clue what I wanted to do until I was in my mid-twenties, web development gave me great purpose, and I am hoping that it can give my students great purpose too. Tan L., Instructor

DigitalCrafts web development bootcamp is designed to help students learn about website design, coding, architecture, and maintenance. In web development bootcamp, you will study programming and coding basics, the ins-and-outs of front-end and back-end development, and skills needs to pursue a career path in web development.
Front-end development is the area of the site where the user interacts with the website. It includes everything from the layout of the webpage, the buttons, the search bar, and the site’s logo. Front-end development requires learning HTML, CSS, and Javascript coding languages.
Back-end development is the server side of a website. It involves ensuring that the website performs as it should for a good user experience. Back-end coding languages and frameworks required for back-end development include SQL and Server-side Javascript. Back-end development involves learning skills like DOM Manipulation and how to code. At DigitalCrafts, we teach you front-end and back-end development to help you determine what potential tech and coding career paths you may want to pursue.
