What will I learn?
DFTW teaches a full range of skills to research, plan, design, prototype, test, build, research, plan, design, prototype, test, and build sites and applications for The Web. (See what we did there…)
We’re not a 4-year Graphic Design school and we’re not a 4-year Computer Science school. We cover a bunch of that stuff but The Web has really grown to be it’s own entirely unique field. It’s just going to take a while for the education system to catch up. We’re a six-month mentorship. Over that six months, you’ll learn a great many things – but just to be clear – you’ll be learning: HTTP, HTML, CSS, scripting, PHP, JavaScript, Server-side rendering, Client-side rendering, JAM stack ideas, progressive web apps, and more. That’s just the “tech part” (but it’s mandatory) and then: the most important things are “Design thinking” and how to think like a designer – and how to make decisions.
