Code 301 with Lead Instructor Mahmoud Khudairi.
Welcome to Code 301! This class builds on your 201 foundataion with a deep dive into the world of servers. Using jQuery, node, npm libraries, flexbox and grid, this class prepares you for 401.
Code 301 begins with front end development using jQuery, flexbox, and grid. Module 2 is entirely dedicated to the backend and building a server to serve files to an already made frontend site. Module 3 brings everything together with the development of a full stack application from start to finish. The final module is team based project work.

As a result of completing Code 301, students will:
- Collaboratively design and create web applications from scratch using MVC architecture built with professional-grade HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Work with string, array, and object data structures and algorithms to solve code challenges with pure JavaScript programming.
- Design dynamic frontend and backend applications which can function together or independently and are deployed to cloud platforms.
- Explain the fundamentals of how the World Wide Web works, over the internet.
- Utilize dependency management techniques to build with third-party libraries such as ExpressJS, jQuery, EJS, and Mustache.
- Persist one-to-many relational data across multiple tables in a SQL database, sourced from third-party API or user-generated content.
- Follow agile software development practices during week-long sprints, including pair-programming, stand-ups, daily retrospectives, project management with Kanban boards, regular refactoring, and working in a shared code base.
- Enroll in a Code 401 course or attain an entry-level website development job or internship by completing the course requirements.
