This 8-week, part-time course covers the most important frontend development skills, with no prior coding knowledge necessary.

Become the go-to person for projects intersecting UX, UI, and frontend development.
With rising ratios of designers to developers, good designers need to be able to think and speak the language of developers. It’s their job to help translate the design vision to the development team in a way that they can understand and accept. This can be a critical piece of the puzzle in a project, especially if the design and the interactions behind it are complex.
