Full Stack Development & Advanced Front End Course

You can choose your Specialisation approximately two-thirds of the way through the programme, just before you complete your fourth portfolio project.

After much research, the Code Institute team focused on ensuring that our students learn what is most in-demand in today’s workforce. This has always been true of our Full Stack programme. Now, with the added choice of our advanced front end specialism, our students have an opportunity for even more recognition from employers by completing our university credit-rated programme. After completing our programme, you will not only be a full stack developer, but you will also have set yourself apart from other candidates by already focusing on a specialist skill set.

React is a library. A library is something that allows developers to share code they have written that solves everyday problems. React prevents everyone from having to reinvent the wheel every time they knock across the same problem. It also means if someone comes up with a clever way of doing something, they can make it available to everyone else. That is exactly what Facebook did. They wanted to build a richer and more responsive user experience. So they built this super-fast and super-easy library to build great user interfaces and shared it with everyone.

It cuts down development time for everyone, improves quality and means you can do exciting things quickly. As a result, it’s one of the most popular development libraries in the world. Apart from Facebook, it is also used by Instagram, the BBC, The New York Times, PayPal, and of course Code Institute!

In a word? Yes. Thousands of companies worldwide use React.js because it allows them to build web applications faster and smarter. Employers like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, Uber, Airbnb, Amazon, the BBC, The New York Times, PayPal and of course Code Institute, to name but a few, use it because it delivers easier-to-manage applications that get products to market faster.
