# 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.

## Why should you take this course?

* Learn to build web applications from start to finish with foundational and advanced topics in **front-end** (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and **back-end** (databases, APIs, server-side logic). Gain practical knowledge of modern frameworks and tools used in the industry.
* **Volunteers:** Taught by volunteer tech professionals with extensive experience, offering insights into the latest technologies and best practices. Personalized guidance to help you grasp complex concepts.
* **Develop real-world projects** that you can showcase in your portfolio. Gain experience working on project-based assignments, simulating professional development workflows.
* **Community:** Our community is here to support you. You can ask questions, share insights, or connect with fellow learners and instructors through our Slack channel.

## Project-Based Learning

The course follows a project-based learning approach. You learn hands-on through projects the whole semester. Each project lasts four weeks and includes a recap week, where the previous content is recapped.&#x20;

**Projects:** You'll progress through four structured projects to master web development:

* **Project 1 - Intro to React:** You build an e-commerce store using React basics, SPA concepts, React components, props, State, useState, React Router, error handling and Next.js.
* **Project 2 - Twitter Clone:** You build a twitter clone using tailwind CSS designing an responsive UI, you use Next.js for routing, API integration. You'll create and integrate a NoSQL database and learn the basics of shell and SSH commands to deploy.
* **Career Project - Job Readiness:** In the final project, you create a powerful LinkedIn profile, CV, and portfolio, work on a design challenge, and learn how to apply for your first job.

## **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.
