We work partially in teams of 2-5 participants in each team and partially individually. The course will often be project based where most of the teaching is online.
This is a new course starting in the fall of 2024 and is a continuation course for those who already possess basic knowledge of front-end programming. Sundsgården’s Front- End Developer course has been very successful, and it is therefore exciting to be able to offer the long-awaited Back-end course. Having both a Front-end and a Back-end programming education makes you attractive on the job market, since the demand for skilled programmers is high.
During the course, online teaching sometimes alternates with online guest lectures and two physical meetings at Sundsgårdens Folkhögskola. Together we will learn about different back-end programming languages, and the participants will then be able to deepen their understanding and sharpen their skills within the areas of web development. By the end of the course the participants will have expanded their own portfolios and be ready to enter the job market, apply for internships, or continue to further education.
