# Full-Stack Bootcamp

## What is the course about?

Are you ready to take your coding skills to the next level? In our Full Stack Bootcamp, you’ll learn how to build complete web applications—from designing user-friendly interfaces to managing back-end functionality. This course is perfect for anyone with a foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript who wants to master full-stack development.

Over 18 weeks, you’ll work on real-world projects: learning the fundamentals of React by building an e-commerce store, before exploring full stack development via a Next.JS based Twitter clone. You'll finish with strong coding skills and a professional portfolio, ready to apply for a front end or full stack internship. This bootcamp is ideal if you can commit to 20 hours a week and are keen to launch a career in tech.

## **ReDI Style**

This course is about active participation. You will be asked to work independently on project parts (weekly milestones). You are in charge of your learning journey. Are you ready to work on hands-on projects and participate actively in the sessions? Then join us!&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Weekly Milestones

The projects are broken down into weekly milestones. Every week, you work on one milestone. You finish one part of the project each week and build it over time. This way, you can immediately implement what they learned from the course in their projects. You present your weekly milestone in the Coaching Session.
