Singapore’s move towards a digital economy and a Smart Nation will bring many new opportunities and good jobs for all Singaporeans. The Infocomm Media 2025 Master Plan has highlighted that software development is one of the key job areas that requires manpower. To ensure that every Singaporean will be ready to take advantage of such opportunities, the government has launched initiatives such as skills future to help all adults, upskill and reskill themselves in digital and technological skills.
This course, Specialist Diploma in Full Stack Web Development (NSFSW) will provide an opportunity for participants to upskill and reskill themselves in web development technology.
Participants will learn modern web technologies such as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), React JS, React Native and Node.js to deliver optimised and reliable web solutions. This course focuses on using one programming language, JavaScript, to develop both the front-end and back-end. Participants will specialise using this one standard language from front-end to back-end. Effectively, participants just need to learn one way of creating applications and subsequently utilise their code and skillsets to create applications for any deployment target. Learning JavaScript is a crucial skill for any web developer, as it is one of the most popular programming languages.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to develop responsive web applications with web services support from the back-end and integrate both the front-end and back-end before hosting it on the cloud.
Participants are required to bring a computer notebook when attending lessons, as you may need it to access the e-learning materials, write reports, etc.
This course aims to train participants in the current technologies of full stack web application development. The 3 focused areas are:
- Responsive web design and user interaction design.
- Front-end and back-end development, including persistent storage.
- Design, develop and deploy a full stack web application.
This course is uniquely designed to support participants who want to further their education while maintaining their professional commitments. Our course consists of 5 (five) well-structured modules that will be delivered in a way that suits your busy schedule. With 70% of the course content being asynchronous, you can learn at your own pace while still having the opportunity to interact with your lecturers and peers at regular check-in periods. Moreover, our online learning materials are designed to be data-driven to facilitate differentiated learning and cater to the diverse needs of our participants to help them reach their full potential. The remaining 30% of the course would be conducted either onsite at our campus or online. All these aspects make our course an ideal choice for working adults who value flexibility, quality, and innovation in their education.
