Learn back-end languages for bug hunting π€Ώ
The course teaches the basics of three powerful back-end languages essential for any aspiring ethical hacker:
- Python: A versatile language that’s easy to learn and widely used in software development, data analysis, and even in automation tasks! π
- C++: Known for its performance and efficiency, C++ is a go-to choice for systems programming and game development. π
- Java: A popular language for building robust applications across various platforms. Java’s versatility makes it an excellent tool for bug hunting. β
Each language lesson is structured to cover:
- Language Overview: Gain a broad understanding of the language and its typical use cases.
- Syntaxes: Learn the grammar of the language, including key rules and conventions.
- Data Structures & Algorithms: Understand how data can be stored, managed, and manipulated within the language.
- Functional Libraries: Explore libraries that will aid in your coding tasks and bug hunting endeavors.
Learn front-end languages for bug hunting π
Alongside back-end languages, this course also covers four essential front-end languages:
- JavaScript: The scripting language of the web that brings pages to life. It’s an indispensable skill for any developer. π
- HTML: The backbone of any web page, ensuring content is structured and accessible to users and search engines alike. ποΈ
- CSS: The styling language that gives your web pages their visual design and layout. π¨
- React: A JavaScript library for building fast, scalable user interfaces. It’s particularly good for single-page applications. π οΈ
Like the back-end languages, these front-end languages are covered with a focus on:
- Language Overview: An introduction to the language and its role in web development.
- Syntaxes: A breakdown of the rules and structure that define how code is written in each language.
- Data Structures & Algorithms: Insights into managing and processing data effectively within the context of web applications.
- Functional Libraries: An exploration of libraries that will help you write more efficient, secure, and bug-free code.
