Presentation
Postgraduate in FrontEnd Development for designers: creating synergies between design and web programming
In an increasingly digitalized world where there are more websites and applications every day, it is essential to work on the visible part of an interface and the part with which users interact. In this frontend development, programming and design must go hand in hand to create attractive, intuitive and functional interfaces.
Aware of this junction, design professionals seek to understand the interface creation process in order to work more effectively and ensure that the web designs they come up with are not only visually appealing but also functional and technically feasible.
The Postgraduate in FrontEnd Development for designers arises as a response to this new reality with the aim of introducing design professionals to the world of web development.
Through the knowledge of the main programming languages such as HTML, CSS and Java Script, you will understand the process of creating interfaces in depth and you will be able to propose more pragmatic designs, considering the possibilities and limitations of their implementation. In addition, the Postgraduate in FrontEnd will allow you to establish a more effective collaboration with the programming team, therefore improving the web development process.
