Prerequisites
Best if you can already write a simple page or follow a tutorial to the end. Complete beginners should start on Front-End or Backend, then join a later full-stack cohort.
Instructors
Course questions
Is this two courses glued together?
No. You build one product across sixteen weeks. Front-end and backend are taught in the order the product needs them.
How heavy is the time?
Plan for 8 hours in session plus 4–6 hours of studio work. Career switchers should treat it like a part-time job.
