About NextGen's Web Design Summer Camps
Web design is one of the most relevant skills you can learn right now. From business to games, a website without good design won’t get you very far. These days, the stiffest competition is well-designed, optimized for search engines, and responsive on all devices. Create a beautiful portfolio site, make a web-based game, or start your entrepreneurial side gig with web design.
Businesses in every industry are looking for Web Designers to bring them better traffic, colleges are looking for talented coders and designers, and some startups are breaking the rules by hiring coding bootcamp grads without college degrees. Learning web design is for the creative minded who can still jive with tech and high school is the best time to learn.
Why should high schoolers start with web design?
Web design is the easiest place to start learning how to code. HTML and CSS are intuitive coding languages that are rooted in the English language. JavaScript is another great language for beginners because you can see the functionality it provides.
These languages in combination make up the foundation of all websites. Once you learn these two languages, you can learn almost any programming language much more easily. Plus, you can add frameworks like jQuery or ReactJS to take your websites to the next level later.
This knowledge gives you the ability to create almost anything on the web. With our award-winning curriculum, we’re sure you’ll be able to succeed far beyond summer camp. This course is the perfect introduction to web design and development, no matter what industry your passion lies in.
