Front-end Web Development
Master HTML, CSS and Javascript for building amazing websites from static designer screenshots and by using React.
Make Amazing
Web Experiences
Front-end web development defines how we use our computers every day. The work of front-end developers is what helps technology be usable to the average person, and companies with the best, most stable, and most usable sites are the most popular on the web.
If you want to make the web more usable, more accessible, and more fun to use, Front-End Web Development is the path for you.
The first three trimesters of our on-site intensive education covers the foundations of computer science and software engineering. Students will explore and learn practical low-level programming, high-level programming, algorithms, databases, system engineering, and networking technologies.
The final trimester of the curriculum will build upon this knowledge and focus on the skills that make successful front-end web developers. Students will study and master technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and developer tools and apply these technologies with React, one of the most popular front-end frameworks.
For Holberton, a front-end developer is not only someone who can code with a framework, but someone that understands why these frameworks exist, work and how they interact with the browser (like Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.)

“I chose Holberton because they accept people based on their potential, not past experience. I graduated in Theology, which is pretty far from computer programming, but I am now studing how to become a software engineer because Holberton could see my drive and how well I could learn.”— Jorge C., cohort 10 Cali, Colombia
