This program is broken into three parts: Front End Development, React Development, and Django (Python) Development.
In the first section of the program, students will learn HTML to mark up webpages and CSS for styling. You'll then learn the fundamentals of JavaScript as well as jQuery, the industry-standard framework that lets you quickly and easily write powerful JavaScript. You'll master Git for version control, and how to use flexbox and grid to layout, align, and reorder webpage content, as well as make it adapt to different size screens.
In the second section of the program, you will learn fundamental JavaScript programming concepts, including variables, data types, loops, and DOM.
You'll then progress to React, a powerful JavaScript library for web development. The class will start with basics such as learning how to compose components which are the foundations of React. During this course, you will build a fully working desktop application using React.
To round out your JavaScript development skills, you'll learn Node.js, MongoDB, and Express.js.
This part of the program starts with the basics of Python. You'll learn the lexical syntax of Python and quickly move onto more advanced topics such as dictionaries, custom functions, and sorting algorithms. You'll progress to Object-Oriented Programming, working with APIs, and querying databases with SQL.
You'll then be introduced to Django, a Python web framework used for back end web programming. Students will learn URL dispatchers, querying models, and automating tasks with Django. After understanding the fundamentals of Django, the class will move to Django REST, a Django framework, which covers how to work with images, authentication, and using API endpoints.
In this program, participants will learn the most pivotal skills needed to secure a career in software and web development. You will create a portfolio of projects, prepare for common interview questions, polish your resume and LinkedIn profile, and get tips for applying to jobs.

Refined over many cohorts for an optimal learning experience
I didn't expect to learn much in a 4 session Python course, but Art's teaching style was very fitting for me. As the Chinese proverb states: Tell me, I'll forget. Show me, I'll remember. Involve me, I'll understand.
