Day 1: Foundations of Web Development & GitHub Pro Essentials
In-Person Session | April 7
The journey begins with a strong foundation. On Day 1, participants will explore the core concepts of web development, focusing on how modern websites and web applications are built from scratch. We'll start with the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, helping attendees understand how structure, styling, and interactivity come together to create user-friendly web interfaces.
The session will then move into the world of Git and GitHub, where participants will learn the importance of version control, collaboration, and project management in real-world development workflows. Attendees will get hands-on experience in setting up repositories, pushing their first commits, and collaborating using branches and pull
requests.
As
a special bonus, all registered participants will receive access to the GitHub Student Developer Pack, which includes GitHub Pro and a suite of powerful development tools—for free!
By the end of the day, participants will:
- Understand the architecture of a basic web application
- Build and deploy a simple webpage using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Use Git and GitHub to manage their code and collaborate efficiently
- Set up their GitHub Pro access and explore its benefits
This session is all about laying the groundwork for what’s to come—ensuring every participant feels confident and ready to move into backend and full stack development in the following days.
