Full-Stack Development Program

We've spent the last four years teaching people to code. Not through flashy promises or quick tricks—just structured learning with real mentorship. This program is built for people who want to understand how software actually works, not just copy-paste solutions from tutorials.

How the Program Works

This isn't a bootcamp. It's a year-long journey that takes you from basic syntax to building full applications. We break everything into digestible phases because that's what actually works when learning complex material.

1

Foundation Phase

Months 1-3

You'll start with JavaScript fundamentals and web basics. We cover the stuff that trips up beginners—scope, closures, async behavior. No skipping ahead until these concepts stick.

  • Core JavaScript patterns and ES6+ features
  • HTML5 semantic structure and accessibility
  • CSS layout systems and responsive design
  • Git workflows and version control practices
2

Frontend Development

Months 4-6

Here's where things get interesting. You'll pick React (most popular) or Vue (easier learning curve) and build actual interfaces. We focus on component thinking and state management because that's what matters in production.

  • Component architecture and reusability patterns
  • State management with hooks and context
  • API integration and data fetching strategies
  • Testing fundamentals with Jest and testing library
3

Backend Systems

Months 7-9

Node.js and Express become your tools for server-side work. You'll connect databases, handle authentication, and deal with the security concerns that nobody tells beginners about until something breaks.

  • RESTful API design and implementation
  • PostgreSQL database modeling and queries
  • Authentication systems and security best practices
  • Server deployment and environment management
4

Capstone Project

Months 10-12

You'll build something substantial from scratch. Pick your own idea, architect the solution, handle the roadblocks. This phase mimics what junior developers actually face when joining teams.

  • Project planning and technical specifications
  • Full-stack application development
  • Code reviews and refactoring sessions
  • Documentation and presentation preparation

What Makes This Different

Most programs throw you into frameworks before you understand fundamentals. Or they focus so much on theory that you never build anything real. We've tried to find the middle ground—enough structure to learn properly, enough flexibility to explore your interests.

  • Weekly Code Reviews

    Your code gets reviewed by experienced developers. This is where you learn conventions, best practices, and why certain approaches work better than others. It's uncomfortable at first but incredibly valuable.

  • Pair Programming Sessions

    You'll work with other students solving problems together. This mirrors real team dynamics and helps you learn how to communicate technical decisions—something most tutorials completely ignore.

  • Project-Based Milestones

    Every month ends with something you built. Not a certificate or badge, but actual functioning code. You'll have a portfolio that shows progression from simple scripts to complex applications.

  • Flexible Learning Pace

    Life happens. Some weeks you'll have more time than others. The materials stay accessible, and you can catch up when needed. That said, consistency matters more than cramming.
