 Sourced primarily from [Azure Cloud Advocates at Microsoft](https://youtube.com/watch?v=R1wrdtmBSII) who created [Web Dev for Beginners](https://aka.ms/webdev-beginners), we are pleased to offer an 11-week, 22-lesson curriculum all about JavaScript, CSS, and HTML basics, with a sprinkling of React.js at the end. Each lesson includes pre- and post-lesson quizzes, written instructions to complete the lesson, a solution, an assignment and more. Our project-based pedagogy allows you to learn while building, a proven way for new skills to 'stick'.
