The Full Stack Developer program will prepare you for a job as a Full Stack Web Developer, and teach you to build complex server-side web applications that use powerful relational databases to persistently store data.

You’ll learn to build applications that can support any front-end, and scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.

The Full-Stack Developer training program begins with Node.js and Express.js, which provide a solid foundation to understand and build web applications with the help of JavaScript. Next, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of Angular to help master front-end web development. Finally, you will receive training in MongoDB to learn all of the features of NoSQL database technology. We have included JavaScript, HTML, and CSS as electives to give you a further edge in becoming a full-stack developer.

The PLP in Drafting Legislation, Regulation, and Policy has been offered by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies with considerable success since 2004.
