  • I did the front-end program on freecodecamp.org a bunch of years ago, it was decent. The challenging part about finding what you’re looking for is that Javascript is used in both the front and back ends (and in a number of other places). Courses in JS will usually focus on backend (node.js is common), but it sounds like you’re looking for a basic front-end course.

    Also note that “integrating front end with back end” is complicated and depends largely on the backend itself. In the free code camp course, I did some calls to APIs from the frontend, which I think is what you’re asking.

    In any case, check out the Full Stack course on freecodecamp.org (specifically what you’re asking about is covered in the “DOM Manipulation and Events” section).










  • I’m not an expert, but any time I’ve needed to do this, I set up my own router as a client to the parent router, and I set my router (client) as the DMZ in the parent router. Effectively you end up with two routers that are both (more or less) connected directly to the internet, without the two networks messing with each other. It’s also minimally invasive to the parent router (even old stock firmware has always had a DMZ option).

    The tricky part then is using the wireless connection as your “WAN port,” rather than a physical one. In which case, as long as you can install OpenWRT on it, you should be fine.
