Want to get started in the world of coding and build websites as a career? This certificate, designed by the software engineering experts at Meta—the creators of Facebook and Instagram, will prepare you for a career as a front-end developer.
In this program, you’ll learn:
-
How to code and build interactive web pages using HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
-
In-demand design skills to create professional page layouts using industry-standard tools such as Bootstrap, React, and Figma.
-
GitHub repositories for version control, content management system (CMS) and how to edit images using Figma.
-
How to prepare for technical interviews for front-end developer roles.
By the end, you’ll put your new skills to work by completing a real-world project where you’ll create your own front-end web application.

Applied Learning Project
Throughout the program, you’ll engage in hands-on activities that offer opportunities to practice and implement what you are learning. You’ll complete hands-on projects that you can showcase during job interviews and on relevant social networks.
At the end of each course, you’ll complete a project to test your new skills and ensure you understand the criteria before moving on to the next course. There are 9 projects in which you’ll use a lab environment or a web application to perform tasks such as:
-
Edit your Bio page—using your skills in HTML5, CSS and UI frameworks
-
Manage a project in GitHub—using version control in Git, Git repositories and the Linux Terminal
-
Build a static version of an application—you’ll apply your understanding of React, frameworks, routing, hooks, bundlers and data fetching.
At the end of the program, there will be a Capstone project where you will bring your new skillset together to create the front-end web application.
