4.9 – 7,587 reviews

Git and Terminal

Terminal is an important tool for any developer, so it's high time for you to exercise basic commands! You'll start using a Git version control system, too.
4.8 – 5,972 reviews

JavaScript Basics Extended

On the basics stage we omitted a fascinating, but demanding concept: objects. We'll introduce you to them now, though not only — JavaScript still has a few aces up its sleeve!
4.9 – 8,052 reviews

HTML + CSS Advanced

Back at HTML and CSS already, now to explore flexboxes, BEM, Sass, grids, and events. Once done, you'll code your very own landing page.
4.9 – 7,448 reviews

JavaScript Advanced

Having mastered the fundamentals, we're free to take on the advanced issues. So, brace yourself for methods, closures, prototypes, constructors, classes, and... something extra.
4.8 – 5,378 reviews

React

Chooo chooo, next station: component-based development, and one of the most popular library in the front-end realm, React. We'll learn how to combine it with TypeScript, too!
4.7 – 6,837 reviews

TypeScript Basics

In professional terms: TypeScript is a JavaScript superset. In human terms: it's JavaScript modified for more versatility and comfort. We'll go through, i.a., object types and classes.
4.8 – 5,926 reviews

React with TypeScript

Get acquainted with the magic of TypeScript in React.
4.7 – 5,265 reviews

Redux

If JavaScript with React and TypeScript already feel like a small Lego set, good news! There's a fourth brick to play with, a library, Redux, helpful in app state management. Let's take a look.
4.8 – 5,182 reviews

How the Web Works

We interact with the Internet day by day, and yet, few know how it all works. If you don't, either — we've got your back. We'll explore the OSI model, HTTP, encryption, APIs and security issues.
4.8 – 5,752 reviews

Algorithms and Data Structures

Don't go running just yet, algorithms simply need some taming. Data structures, too: we'll take on arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash maps and sets... among other things.
4.8 – 4,597 reviews

Object Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming is a concept fundamental to many programming languages, most notably: Java, Python, JavaScript and C++. So — let's acquire a good understanding thereof.
4.8 – 5,824 reviews

Vue.js

Learning by doing is our favorite technique here at Mate, and this module is no exception. You'll learn the Vue.js framework by using it to build a ToDo App. How cool is that?!
4.8 – 5,837 reviews

Angular

Angular is a JS framework used mostly to create scalable, sing-page web apps. We'll learn how to use it, beginning with forms through components, observables, state management, and more.

Do I have to add my credit card to access the free plan?
No, no and also no. Absolutely not. Just… no. Think of “Oh my God no” from The Office. That’s how much of a “no” the answer is.

What are the payment and billing options?
You can pay by card, Google and Apple Pay, either weekly or monthly, depending on the subscription plan you choose.

You’ll learn all that’s expected from a front-end developer, including a handful of languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS; a few tools, like Git and Terminal; as well as libraries and frameworks, namely React, Redux, Vue.js and Angular. Though, that’s still not all.
How long does the course take to complete?
The course is self-paced, so there are no real deadlines you have to meet. If you were to study consistently though, say 2-3 hours a day, you could wrap up in 5-6 months.
