I welcome Tina too.
So this is called Introduction to front end but honestly it's more like an introduction to everything
.
We're going to talk about three main objectives that we're going to use throughout the rest of the course
.
So it's a pretty important lesson.
We're not actually going to write a lot of code.
You'll be seeing code but you're not going to write much on your of your own until the next unit.
But what we'll start with is just setting up our own developer environment so that we can write code
in the next unit.
So we need to install Google Chrome if you don't have that yet.
And then also subline text so that we have some way to write code.
And then the next thing which is a really important objective is to discuss the difference between front
end and backend.
So when someone says their front end developer or back in developer or when I say that this is a full
stack developer course what does that mean.
And it's also important so that we know what we're getting into and the rest of this course.
The first half is all front end the second half is all back end and really the last third is full stack
front end plus back and so that's important to understand what we're doing so that we have a little
framework to reference as we progress and then we're going to dive a little bit more into front and
specific technologies.
So Jim I'll see assess in javascript.
We'll talk about what they are how they fit together what roles they play how they're similar how they're
different and really just dissect what they do so that when we start each hemol in the next unit you'll
have a little bit better of an idea of how it fits in with all the other pieces.
And there's so much that we cover in this class that if I just went straight through and it just covered
it all one after another without tying it together talking about how it all fits together it wouldn't
really be a great course you'd be able to follow me be able to do what I can do but you wouldn't be
able to actually write your own code be a developer understand how these pieces fit together.
