Why Learn Web Development

Web developers are among the most widely sought after, highest paying jobs in tech, and it’s easy to see why. As a web developer, you will meld both your imagination and ingenuity to program how a website functions or design the visual elements of websites. With front-end web development, you will focus on how users interact with the website. As a back-end developer, you will build the structures of software applications, servers, and databases. Full-stack developers unite both the front-end and the back-end to work cross-functionally.

Experienced coders can use their skills to become software developers, junior software engineers, and more. Professionals with coding experience can also work remotely, become freelancers, or start their own companies, making coding lucrative to study and a versatile skill set to possess.

The Demand for Web Developers

Software developers are in high demand across the country.

According to data from Lightcast™ . 2022, the employment of software developers in Jacksonville is projected to grow 29.8% percent by 2032.

Graduates of the University of North Florida Coding Bootcamp will qualify for full-time software development positions that could earn them an entry-level starting salary of $76,900—not including additional compensation in the form of benefits and bonuses.

Hiring for roles like Back-End Engineer, Computer Programmer, Full-Stack Engineer, and Web Developer, these companies are rapidly growing and building out their software development teams. University of North Florida Coding Bootcamp grads will be well equipped for these roles and many others.
