Web Development Curriculum for Front-End and Back-End

When we open the freeCodeCamp curriculum page, we can see these web development curriculums:

  • Responsive Web Design Certification
  • JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification
  • Front End Libraries Certification
  • Data Visualization Certification
  • APIs and Microservices Certification

I only could just assume which curriculum for front-end and which one for back-end, but I’m not sure.

Can you tell me the right curriculum for front-end and back-end development?
Does the first three curriculum enough to make a job as a front-end developer?
And does the Data Visualization Certification necessary for back-end development?

I would appreciate any reply, thank you.

the freeCodeCamp curriculum as a whole is thought to be followed from top to bottom, with each certificate a milestone, to have a basic understanding of full-stack development, each certificate build on the previous ones.

but if you want to compartimentalize, which is not suggested
front end:

  • Responsive Web Design Certification
  • JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification
  • Front End Libraries Certification
  • Data Visualization Certification

back-end:

  • APIs and Microservices Certification
  • Quality Assurance Certification
  • Scientific Computing with Python Certification
  • Data Analysis with Python Certification
  • Information Security Certification
  • Machine Learning with Python Certification

if you want to compartimentalize some more, you can divide it even more between back-end javascript, and python

Thank’s for the reply @ieahleen , it’s really clear up the confusion i have. I do agree that it’s not suggested to compartimentalize them, since its better to learn both front-end and back-end sides. Thank you.
