The Songai Pro courses are for absolute beginners in the world of web development and those who have tried other resources without success. In reality, In reality it is for anyone who wants to work as a web developer, do freelancing work, build a startup, or just hack together a homepage for yourself. All the tools you need are here. You should consider yourself fairly competent with personal computers and open to using a non-Windows based Operating System.

We’ve built an in-depth curriculum designed to take you 100% of the way to becoming a web developer. Many other resources out there teach you just the basics of programming. With Songai Pro you’ll create your own websites, games, and social media sites.

The curriculum has also been designed in a modular fashion, making skimming through lessons a breeze.

The goal of Songai Pro is to provide a complete path for students to go from zero programming knowledge to employed as web developers while working with other students and picking up the skills to become self sufficient along the way.

We won't have any of this 'Learn it all in two days!' BS. You can't start from scratch and learn true web development in such a short period of time and you know it. It's highly unlikely that you'll be employable after a weekend workshop or a one-month part-time course.

On the other hand, you don't necessarily need to put in 4 years getting a CS degree. 80% of what they cover won't be used during a typical web developer's early career and it's not necessary to get hired. So why not learn the 20% and learn the rest while you're getting paid on the job?

We've essentially distilled down what you most need to learn to hit that employable level, but it's still a healthy dose of learning. Depending how fast you learn, it will take roughly 1000 hours of work to hit that sweet spot. If you're naturally more technical or come from a technical background, it may be a bit faster. If you're less technical or brand new to all this, it will take longer. Don't despair! When you think about it, that's pretty much the same learning curve you had to climb to learn anything worthwhile so far in life.

Songai Pro contains two tracks for students to choose from: Fullstack Javascript, and Frontend only. The Javascript track focuses more on the connection between the webpage and the data with Javascript and NodeJS. The Frontend track primarily goes over HTML, CSS and Javascript. Below are some courses that are included in these curriculums:

The Web Development 101 course will give you a chance to explore several of the languages and technologies you’ll need to know on your journey to becoming a web developer. Web Development 101 introduces HTML, CSS, Javascript, Git, databases and more. We’ve also created mini-projects that give you a chance to test your new knowledge by building your own applications and websites!

Songai Pro delves deep into HTML and CSS, along with Javascript to give you all the tools necessary to make websites flow, load quickly, and look great. Along the way you’ll learn Git and deployment so you can build your own portfolio, collaborate with others, and see your work on the web.

Finally, Songai Pro will provide you with opportunities to work with legacy codebases and open-source projects. We’ll also cover areas specifically intended to help when you’re looking for employment.

Songai Pro is different from other online programs in that it pulls the best resources from around the web and compiles them to create a complete curriculum. In many other programs the material is formatted to meet their specific curriculum. This means that not all of the lessons are top-notch. Songai Pro sidesteps this downfall by pulling various free resources from around the web and compiles them in one place.

Songai Pro also attempts to develop your problem solving skills when it requires you to install programs on your local computer. As developers, programming errors frequently arise and knowing how to decipher error messages is critical. These problem solving skills are frequently ignored by other programs.

Lastly, Songai Pro is project based. Other programs require you to simply input the correct answer. It is difficult to retain any knowledge by learning the bare minimum syntax. Songai Pro is designed with projects built from the ground up giving you real-world experience that you can use to build your portfolio and get hired as a web developer!
