Backend Web Development

This lesson will cover the introduction to programming and its basic concepts. You will be eased into understanding what programming is and how to start programming using javascript before you begin programming.

At the end of this week, you will explain what programming is all about with ease to the next person.

This week, we will introduce you to version control and collaboration tools like Git and GitHub. This will give you fundamental knowledge about the Git and Git Environment. You will also learn step by step on saving code on git repositories and other git commands that come in handy during development.

At the end of this week, you should be acquainted with Git, have a fundamental understanding of all it offers, and gain the confidence to try it out. You would also be expected to understand and implement a typical git cycle from initialization to pushing the code to a repository, have many git commands in your arsenal, and know when best to use each command.

JavaScript is the lingua franca of the Web, but before using it to create dynamic websites, you need to understand how it works. In this course, you will explore the syntax behind the JavaScript language. You will learn how to "speak" JavaScript by gaining an understanding of variables, types, objects, arrays, operators, control structures, loops, and functions through a series of hands-on examples that put these ideas into action.

At the end of this week, you should grasp the core syntax of JavaScript and how this scripting language works to build robust and complex functionality on the Web.

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a style of programming that focuses on using objects to design and build applications. In this lesson, you will learn about the concept and the principles of OOP. You will also learn about Object- Oriented Analysis and Design and the process of OO analysis and Design and get a feel of how it is done practically.

At the end of this week, you will have learnt how to define a class and its members and instantiate an object out of the class.

This week, you will deepen your understanding of object-oriented programming in JavaScript. You will write code that demonstrates how inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation and abstraction work.

At the end of the week, you should be able to model real-world problems as related objects. You will also understand how to use object-oriented programming paradigms in JavaScript to write well-structured, reusable and scalable code.
