Yes. Familiarity with concepts of programming in any language is must. If you don’t have that then you can take the bridge program first.

Full stack engineers are high in demand. Check the section on industry outlook of full stack engineering. Other than that this program will make you ready to apply for any jobs that require AngularJS (the most popular frontend technology), ReactJS (which is the cutting edge frontend technology used for most new projects), NodeJS programmers (the most popular backend web server). Add industry outlook for the above techs.

Yes this program is hands on. Both the video material and instructor led material will require you to code and practice the concepts. With each module we have a mini project that practises these concepts in solving a small but real life problem.

This program is focused towards end to end development of applications. Mobile application is a part of it. This introduces the concepts of mobile applications and how we can make an application mobile ready. However this is not specific to only mobile platforms.

Yes. The video and instructor-led sessions will be of 6 hours duration per week. Then you will need to put in another hour or two to practise the problems and complete the session every week. The pacing of this program is such that even if you can manage 30 mins a day on weekdays to go through the training materials and 3 hours each on Saturday and Sunday, you would be able to cover this program without problems.

While some consider java as legacy, going by the industry statistics – 70% of existing applications are written in Java. When you are applying for jobs there is a high chance you may need to work on a Java based code base to enhance or maintain it. Also a popular category of projects is migration from Java based to NodeJS. These kinds of projects require you to understand both these technologies. Finally, Java is still a very popular choice for new developments.

This program covers the concepts of styling and design but does not focus on the user experience part of application design. For this we will give pointers in the program on material on how to enhance user experience. This is more focused on the application engineering side of it.

Algorithms and data structures are essential building blocks for applications. We give special focus towards it as good understanding of these will enable you to work with higher quality software. It prepares you to think in terms of time complexities. Understand what is going below the hood in things like graph traversal and sorting which are used in many real life applications. These are taught in college as part of computer science or IT specializations. If you are from a non IT background this will be new and helpful for you. For IT background students this will also help as we are implementing these concepts in Javascript.
