Who is this programme for?
The programme is built for people who want web development to be their job, not just to try it out.
Determined beginners
No programming experience, ready to practise regularly for a year.
Science or office backgrounds
Students, recent graduates, assistants, accountants: you want to move into a technical job.
Technicians retraining in-house
Already employed, you need to build or maintain web tools for your company.
Before you start
- Beginners are welcome.
- Good basic computer skills are recommended (files, browser, email).
- Before any enrolment, an assessment interview checks that the programme suits you.
The curriculum: four blocks, a live project at every stage
The curriculum follows a developer's real progression: first the page, then the interface, then the server, then the data. Every block ends with a deployed deliverable you can show to a recruiter or a client.
-
01
Block 1 · The page
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
Foundations: HTML5, CSS3 and modern JavaScript
Page structure, styling, mobile-friendly layout, then logic with JavaScript: variables, functions, events, page manipulation, network calls. It is the base for everything else, including for those who will later move to mobile.
Deployed deliverable A mobile-friendly website, online
-
02
Block 2 · The interface
- React
Front-end with React
Components, state, navigation between screens, forms and API consumption. React is used to build modern, fast interfaces; you learn it on complete interfaces, not on isolated examples.
Deployed deliverable A complete React interface, online
-
03
Block 3 · The server
- Laravel
- PHP
Back-end with Laravel
Building a server, routes, user authentication, error handling. You understand what happens "behind" a website: essential to become a full stack developer or to freelance without depending on another provider.
Deployed deliverable A Laravel back-end with authentication
-
04
Block 4 · The data
- Databases
- REST API
Databases and REST APIs
Model data, store it, query it, then expose it cleanly to a web or mobile application through a RESTful API. At the end of this block, you can deliver a complete web application, from the form to the database.
Deployed deliverable A complete web application, from the form to the database
How you learn: the Honowa Academy method
A project only counts once it is deployed, documented and presented.
- Deployed
- Documented
- Presented
The programme is organised in four steps that come back in every block:
-
01
Foundation
The language, the tools and Git, to work cleanly from day one.
-
02
Features
You work from user stories, mock-ups and tickets, as in a development team.
-
03
Code review
A trainer reviews your code and explains what must be fixed and why.
-
04
Going live
Hosting, documentation (README) and project presentation.
The cycle starts again with every block
Artificial intelligence, built into the programme
As in every Honowa Academy programme, AI tools are part of the course: you learn to use them to go faster, while remaining able to understand and fix the code they produce.
The tools you will use
- VS Code
- to write code
- Git and GitHub
- to version and share your projects
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- for interfaces
- React
- for front-end applications
- Laravel
- for the back-end
- REST APIs
- to connect interfaces, servers and databases
