Professional Software Development Fundamentals
About Course
This program is not a “classical teaching” bootcamp. It is a hands-on, principle-first learning journey designed to produce dynamic professionals who can thrive in real-world software teams.
Instead of relying on spoon-feeding or rote tutorials, learners are trained to:
- Self-learn technologies through documentation, research, and experimentation.
- Apply timeless engineering principles (clean code, design patterns, SOLID, testing) to modern frameworks.
- Build scalable, reliable, cyber-safe applications using full-stack frameworks (React, Express/NestJS, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL/MongoDB).
- Deliver features in Agile sprints, collaborate with UI/UX, QA, and DevOps teams, and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
- Stay future-proof by learning how to evaluate and adapt to new frameworks and industry trends.
By the end, learners won’t just know how to code — they’ll know how to ship real software, at scale, in secure and professional ways.
What Will You Learn?
- Master self-learning frameworks to stay relevant in any tech stack.
- Apply core software engineering principles (SOLID, DRY, YAGNI, Clean Code, design patterns).
- Design scalable, secure, and maintainable architectures.
- Build full-stack apps with React (frontend), Express/NestJS or Spring Boot (backend), and SQL/NoSQL databases.
- Apply DevOps practices: GitHub workflows, CI/CD pipelines, Dockerization, monitoring, and cloud deployment.
- Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, end-to-end) and manage technical debt.
- Collaborate effectively with UI/UX, QA, DevOps, and project management.
- Deliver in Agile sprints, with real-world simulations of planning, standups, and retrospectives.
- Communicate technical progress and blockers to stakeholders clearly.
- Balance time, scope, and quality using MVP and iterative delivery.
- Secure coding practices (XSS, SQLi, CSRF prevention, OWASP Top 10).
- Secrets management, safe authentication/authorization strategies.
- Compliance thinking (privacy, accessibility, responsible logging).
- Monitoring and resilience practices for production-ready apps.
