Bootstrap 4 Training Coming Soon to Montreal

We're excited to launch our new Bootstrap 4 course this March in Montreal! Bootstrap is a popular front-end framework that provides a base of CSS and JS for your website's look and feel.

Introducing, Our New Web Fundamentals Training in Ottawa

We're really excited about our new Web Fundamentals Training which we've added to our training program this week.

If you want to get into Drupal development and don't have the pre-requisite knowledge, this is the course for you! It covers the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. We've had many students over the years who wanted to take our Drupal theming and module development courses, but didn't have a programming background because they require basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, programming.
