Learning from an experienced developer

A little about me: I've got a Master in Computational Science & Engineering from Harvard, three years of experience in analytics and data science at Etsy and Dealix Corp., three years of experience as a software engineer at AlphaSense, and two more years of development experience on various start-up venture (including the entire PassionClass site!). I know the skills you need to have to get started on a career as a frontend or full-stack developer.

What you need to learn

To become a web developer, you have essentially to key places to start: frontend or full-stack. That's assuming the building of the website, literally what you see in front of you in the browser (e.g. Firefox), is of interest to you, and its certainly never going to hurt if you switch to full-backend. This course is the right starting place for both. We'll be looking at React, the single most popular frontend framework on the internet today, and working on building out the full set of skills you need to be a successful web developer. We’ll be starting with the basics of modern frontend development: the DOM, JavaScript fundamentals, and the core concepts of React, from the fundamentals of component-based architecture to the power of state management. This course, as well as its follow-up (Frontend Development II), are designed to prepare you for an intro-level job as a web developer. A third course on the backend (data processing on the server side) will be offered once these two are complete. The full suite of three courses should take 6 months and should prepare you for an intro-level full-stack role. However, it will require a significant investment of effort from you if you hope to get there in this timeframe.

How the Program is Structured

We’ll have a repeating weekly pattern: a group session for two hours on Mondays, where we’ll take a look at the concepts in a standard class setting. During breakout sessions, we will not be together on Zoom: instead, you’ll be pair-programming the weekly assignment with a rotating partner. When you sign up for the course, you commit to being available at these times- this is when you’ll be completing the work you need to get done for the next session! Finally, you’ll have two weekly algorithm assignments (each about 1 hour) to complete on your own, due Friday evening.

Preresquisite knowledge: Write me a for loop

In order to take the course, you need to have mastered the very basics of computer science (for example, for-loops and if-statements in any programming language). My goal is, after this course and the next level (Web Development II), for you to have the skills you need to get your first job as a Web Developer. (People looking to take the course to better understand the internet are welcome as well!) We’ll likely spend one session on HTML and CSS before moving onto Git, JavaScript fundamentals, and turning to React itself at the end of the course.

Join us!

Join us and learn (through hard work!) frontend development via React, equipping yourself with the tools to build the next generation of web applications and take your career to new heights in the ever-evolving tech industry.

Class Rating: 5.0 / 5

Ginny: Joe, at PassionClass, has the ability to detect how you learn so as to maximize what you learn and be productive asap. No books or on line videos can compare to actual live hands on learning with Joe at PassionClass. If you need to start learning or continue learning, this is for you!
Sav: We collaborated on several projects & followed a shared tutorial that guided us through the process. This approach helped each of us develop our own individual projects, which we later combined into a cohesive team project. Class struck a great balance between individual work & collaboration.
Gavin: Joe has been a great & knowledgeable teacher. He has given me a good entry point for furthering my understanding of front-end web development. I like how he takes the time to see where everyone in the class & ensures they have a good grasp. This has been great for my style of learning.
