Backend Development

Overview

This course builds a highly in-demand specialised skill set in backend technologies. It is also an ideal complementary course for anyone who is proficient in frontend technologies and is interested in becoming a full-stack developer. The course begins with a brief introduction to frontend languages and then dives head-on into PHP, one of the most commonly used languages used to build the web. These tools are used to work with databases to build sophisticated data-driven web applications.

The online experience is self-paced, yet full of opportunities to interact with your classmates. You will be assigned an expert code coach who will be available to answer your questions and do 1-on-1 video calls with you. The course is full of videos, code demonstrations and practical challenges that will ensure you have the skills to build web products.

Codespace gave me the tools to realize my potential and become more confident in what I have to offer. I wasn't just taught how to code, but how to believe that I CAN code, and take it from there. Codespace is a sanctuary built by people who genuinely care about our futures, and for that I am very grateful.
