Phase 1

You kick off the cohort right by diving into the software industries, understanding hierarchies, intern/engineer expectations and how agile(collaborative) development approach works. Along with this we’ll start with exploring tech stacks within MERN to get you comfortable with industry level web dev and the best practices. We’ll explore,

1. The Industry Best Practices
2. Web Development - its counterparts and tools for building.
3. Managing code bases, version control, different code environments
4. Project management - How project is split assigned into small tasks assigned based on priority

Phase 2

This phase gets really technical, with your software diverging into various directions - backend, business logic, frontend, database, etc. You’ll explore different software architecture designs and principles to overall put together a robust system. You’ll work on

1. System design and architecture
2. Work on each element of MERN Stack
3. Programming the business logic and standing up an initial version
4. Create separate environments of deployment - Dev and Prod
5. Tracking code versions - Git Branches, PRs, Conflicts, etc.

Phase 3

After understanding foundations of a quality software, you’ll start to work on a full scale app. This means database, integrations, and deployment of the app. While these are mere words, writing Database schemas and rules, building and testing APIs or Integration into React is a carefully operated task. In this phase you’ll explore:

1. RESTful APIs and it’s alternatives
2. Development and Deployment of app on various environments
3. Databases, schemas and alternatives
4. Backend or Infrastructure as a Service tools.

Phase 4

This is the final phase where you’ll be putting together all the pieces of the app and add your own magic to it - by external services such as Maps, AI, Search, etc. You’ll get familiar with how to present yourself as a professionally compelling engineer in any setting by amplifying skills that compliment your goals. You’ll work on:

1. Integrating tools such as Gen-AI, Chatbots, Search, Payments, etc.
2. Deploying app to a server and managing a solid repo
3. Building a complete blueprint of the software to demonstrate to hiring managers.
