Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp

The bootcamp takes a student from writing their first component to deploying a working, database-backed application with authentication. It is deliberately project-driven: rather than covering each technology in isolation, the same application grows week by week until it is something that can be shown to an employer or a client. Students choose a Python (Django) or Java (Spring Boot) backend track at week five; the frontend, database and deployment work is common to both.

• Build responsive interfaces with semantic HTML, modern CSS and Tailwind
• Write modern JavaScript and build component-driven React applications
• Design relational schemas and write non-trivial SQL
• Build and document RESTful APIs
• Implement authentication, sessions and password handling safely
• Use Git and pull-request workflow the way a team actually does
• Write tests that catch regressions rather than restating the implementation
• Deploy an application with environment configuration and a managed database

1. 01Ship a complete, deployed application with authentication and persistent data
2. 02Decide where a piece of logic belongs — client, server or database — and defend the choice
3. 03Model data for a real domain without over-normalising or under-constraining it
4. 04Debug across the stack: browser, network request, server log, query plan
5. 05Work in a shared repository without breaking other people's branches
6. 06Present a portfolio project and explain its architecture in an interview
