An application is more than a couple lines of code

Building a web application consist of multiple steps, and being a good developer is more than just knowing code.

UX research

Frontend

Backend

DevOps

Web development is team work

Working on a project alone does not prepare you for working at a company.

Mob programming

We are working as a mob, with only one person at a time operating the computer and the rest of the group discussing what to do.

Cross-functional

Instead of blindly duplicating an existing application, we will start with user research and UX design, and end with production-ready deployment.

Agile approach

We introduce frameworks step by step when they are actually needed. This way you will also understand why these frameworks are used.

Who is this for?

Junior developers preparing for the first job

Already finished a boot-camp or a couple of months of self-training? Get a real-life project under your belt and build a network of like-minded people.

Product managers learning to code

Bring your own features to life and learn first-hand about the easy and hard parts of software development.

Developers on the way to Full-Stack

Learn everything needed to envision, develop, and deploy a full web application, not only coding.

How does it work?

Regular joint work

We will meet online on a regular schedule for multiple hours per week. This ensures actual progress and gives you the kick in the a** you might need.

Full project

We will finish a full project, from beginning to end. Overall this will take around 3 months with a Christmas break in between.

Only for the dedicated

We hold each other responsible for learning. Everyone on the team is highly motivated and we will learn from each other.
