The academy

What is web development, anyway?

Web development means building websites and web apps – from what users see to what happens behind the scenes

The good news:

With the growing demand for digitalisation on the international market, a great many good web developers will be sought on the job market in the future.

Learn more

Every website, every app and every application was programmed by a developer at some point. This very website, which you are using in your browser right now to learn more about web development, was also built from many lines of code. Software development consists of several disciplines, and web development is one of them. Web developers build websites, web platforms such as online banking systems and custom web applications that digitalise businesses and run directly in the browser.

Frontend Studio

Frontend Developer

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Angular will become your strengths, and you will learn to build your own web applications and websites with them.

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Angular
What does a Frontend Developer do?

After this course you are ready to start your career as a frontend developer.

Frontend developers are a central part of web development. Frontend web development covers everything that is visible on a website or web application. Frontend developers program exactly what users interact with directly – for example the user interface of a game, the design of a website or the controls of a web app. Their tasks include implementing layouts, colours, fonts, animations and interactive elements such as buttons, menus or forms. The goal is a user-friendly, responsive and visually appealing interface that works perfectly on all kinds of devices and screen sizes. Frontend developers mainly work with technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript as well as modern frameworks and libraries. They make sure that websites not only look good, but also load fast, are intuitive to use and offer a positive user experience.

Backend Studio

Backend Developer

Python, the Django Rest Framework, SQL, modern database systems and the AWS Cloud complete your profile as a backend developer for everyday professional work.

  • Python
  • Django Rest Framework
  • SQL
  • Databases
  • AWS Cloud
What does a Backend Developer do?

In this field you learn to store data in databases with a clean and scalable architecture and to process and compute it efficiently. You also build powerful interfaces (APIs) and learn how to deploy and run professional backend software securely and reliably in the AWS Cloud.

Backend developers are a central part of web development. Backend web development covers everything that runs behind the scenes of a website or web application and is not directly visible to users. Backend developers program the logic, data processing and interfaces that keep a website or web app running reliably. Their tasks include developing server logic, connecting and managing databases and creating application programming interfaces (APIs). They take care of user accounts, authentication, security and the processing of data exchanged between frontend and server. Backend developers work with various programming languages, databases and server technologies. The goal of backend web development is to build stable, secure and powerful systems that can handle large amounts of data and provide a reliable foundation for modern websites and web applications.

Cloud Studio

Fullstack Developer

As a fullstack developer you learn all the skills of a frontend developer and combine them with the technical know-how of a backend developer. You build both the user interfaces and the entire logic behind them, and you make sure that the complete web software you built yourself is deployed reliably and runs without errors.

  • Frontend
  • Backend
  • Cloud Computing
  • Deployment
What does a Fullstack Developer do?

On top of that you become confident with cloud computing and learn to build, deploy and run complete web applications. The goal is to create scalable, powerful and modern web applications that meet professional requirements in everyday work.

Fullstack developers are a central part of web development because they work in both the frontend and the backend. Fullstack web development combines building the visible user interfaces with programming the technical processes behind a website or web application. Fullstack developers program both the user interface that users interact with and the server logic, databases and interfaces responsible for processing and storing data. Their tasks include implementing layouts, interactive elements and responsive designs as well as developing APIs, database structures and security mechanisms. Fullstack developers work with technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the frontend and with backend technologies, servers and databases. The goal of fullstack web development is to build complete, scalable and powerful web applications that are technically stable, user-friendly and work reliably on every device.

Jacques Löhr, fullstack web developer and trainer of IT specialists for application development

Your instructor

Hi, I'm Jacques

My journey into the world of programming began around 2016. Alongside running my martial arts school near Cologne, I used the time between training sessions to teach myself the basics with programming books and a lot of curiosity. I started with Java before finding my way – more or less by chance – into web development, and I deliberately deepened my knowledge during the Covid years.

Today I have been working as a freelance instructor for more than two years, training future IT specialists for application development as part of the German IHK apprenticeship. At the same time, as a fullstack developer, I support external web projects and teams wherever experience is needed.

Read the whole story

Back then – before AI tools made everyday learning easier – learning to code was considerably harder. My approach was always practical: apply knowledge from books directly in real client projects and keep learning with every challenge.

Later I got the opportunity to work as an instructor at an education provider. Nervous at first but highly motivated, I asked myself one question above all: how would I have liked to learn programming myself if I had to start from zero today?

My goal is to pass on my practical experience and give you a structured, hands-on and motivating start in web development. Let's walk this path together. Feel free to book a call so we can find out whether the developer's path is right for you. ☺️

Consultation

Ready to get started in web development?

In a free consultation we find out together whether the developer's path is right for you.

You just want to build your own website – or start a new career? We help you make the best decision for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need prior knowledge to learn programming?

No. All our courses are suitable for programming beginners. With the right guidance, a clear structure and some practice, anyone can get started in software and web development.

Which courses does the Bluewave-Tech Academy offer?

Three web development courses: Frontend Developer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Angular), Backend Developer (Python, Django Rest Framework, SQL, modern database systems and the AWS Cloud) and Fullstack Developer, which combines both and adds cloud computing.

What is the difference between frontend, backend and fullstack?

Frontend developers program everything users see and use. Backend developers program the logic, databases and interfaces behind the scenes. Fullstack developers work in both areas and bring complete web applications to the cloud.

Which course is right for me?

We find that out in the free consultation: together we look at your goals. If our courses are not the best fit for your needs, we will tell you openly and honestly.
