• React, Angular, and Vue: These are popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks for building web applications. Students should choose one to specialize in and become proficient in using it to build scalable and maintainable applications.
• Node.js: Node.js is a popular runtime environment for building server-side web applications with JavaScript. Students should learn how to use Node.js to create RESTful APIs, handle user authentication and authorization, and build real-time web applications.
• MongoDB and SQL: These are popular database technologies that can be used to store and manage data in web applications. Students should choose one to specialize in and become proficient in using it to perform CRUD operations, set up data models, and perform complex queries.
• Git: Git is a version control system that is commonly used for web development. Students should learn how to use Git for version control, collaboration, and code review.
• Agile methodologies: Agile methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban, are commonly used in web development. Students should learn how to use Agile methodologies to manage projects, prioritize tasks, and deliver high-quality software.
• Cloud computing: Cloud computing platforms, such as AWS or Google Cloud, are commonly used for deploying and hosting web applications. Students should learn how to use these platforms to deploy and scale web applications, as well as how to use cloud services to add additional functionality, such as databases, file storage, and message queues.
