00:00:09,083 --> 00:00:12,310
Welcome to the first unit in
the Front End Web Development Techdegree.

3
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:14,910
My name is Guil, and
I'm a teacher here at Treehouse.

4
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,670
I'm so glad that you've decided to
learn front end web development.

5
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:19,300
It's a lot of fun.

6
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:22,590
You're going to be building a lot
of cool projects in this program.

7
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:25,210
When you're done,
you'll have a portfolio of professional

8
00:00:25,210 --> 00:00:28,370
quality projects to demonstrate
all the skills you've learned.

9
00:00:28,370 --> 00:00:30,040
Let me show you some of
the things you'll be creating.

10
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:33,510
You'll be creating some pretty
cool projects right away.

11
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:37,750
In the second unit of the Techdegree,
you'll create a responsive web design,

12
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:38,880
like this one.

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,830
This page responds or changes based
on the browser viewing the page.

14
00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:45,701
As you can see, a single column for
mobile devices, and

15
00:00:45,701 --> 00:00:49,160
multiple columns for
the bigger displays of laptops.

16
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,307
Later, you'll use JavaScript to
create interactive web pages,

17
00:00:52,307 --> 00:00:54,590
and even build an interactive game.

18
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:56,870
See how I can interact with
the page to play the game?

19
00:00:57,980 --> 00:01:00,470
Finally, you'll create your
own portfolio website,

20
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:03,300
to show off the skills you've
built in the Techdegree.

21
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:07,433
For instance, here's the portfolio of one
of our front end web development grads.

22
00:01:07,433 --> 00:01:11,580
In this first unit,
you'll tackle a pretty simple project.

23
00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:15,370
It's a personal page that you'll customize
with your own photos and information.

24
00:01:15,370 --> 00:01:18,290
You'll also use CSS, or
cascading style sheets,

25
00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:22,590
to change colors, add animations,
and improve the look of the page.

26
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:23,130
Have fun with it.

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,607
Thanks for
being a Treehouse Techdegree student.

28
00:01:26,607 --> 00:01:27,550
I'll see you again soon.
