Coding for Websites

This is where you’ll find tons of opportunities for getting into coding websites. Whether you are brand new and just want to make a fun, simple website for family photos, or you have coding experience and want to launch a career, there will be something here for you. Coding for website design is a tricky arena to navigate because there are many programming languages used for the full process, like HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Ruby and SQL, just to name a few. When you see the term “Full-Stack Developer” it is referring to someone who is competent with most or all of the languages necessary to build a website, both visually and functionally. More specific tools, like JavaScript and Ruby, are used to enrich websites with cool looks and features. JavaScript is most widely used on the web, but that is not its only use, so learning JS can be more widely applicable.
