Curriculum
In general, we would like you to leave our course not just as a developer, but as a full-stack engineer. Someone who will have his opportunities wide open, because you will have a perfect understanding of all angles of this world not from teachers without practical experience, but directly from industry leaders having a finger on the pulse of the IT industry.
Part I: Lectures (3 weeks, from July 4 to July 22)
In our program, you will discover the newest approaches in development, current trends, and frameworks, but also practical tips on your project when it comes to the use of APIs, machine learning, usage of voice, and many more. You will also get practical examples of modern methods of project and product management, learn how to do great open-source projects, or how to avoid any legal problems when it comes to copyrights and code-stealing. Part of the course will be also dedicated to your career growth. We will help you to get the right inspiration to become a great engineering leader and give you tips on how to be more visible within the IT community.
Above all else, you will not learn this for years from people reading about it from books or speaking with other people. You will interact and learn from people facing these issues daily and have direct and practical insights you cannot get anywhere else! Plus remember, you will not only hear about it during our 3 weeks of workshops but more importantly see it yourself during our one-month guaranteed internship at one of our partner companies.
