Course contents
This course aims to give students a chance to create unique projects with a hands-on approach. The course guides students to find their interest in software engineering skills and to help each student find their desired path in software developing in the future. There are also several other Software Development Skill courses available on different topics.
The course gives the student basic understanding of full-stack development. The goal is to create a basic front- and back-end and bundle them together as a complete system.
The focus is to understand the bigger picture and how to bundle different software components together to create a working program. You will learn how to use MEAN-stack as a full stack tool bundle to create an app from scratch.
