What Makes It Different
This course teaches code the way a team writes it: more than one language, version control, testing, and a database underneath.
Applying your skills in different languages is its own unit, so you learn to move between them instead of memorising one.
Using version control, testing software and writing technical documentation are all units in the course, so you arrive knowing how a team works.
You build a database, create relational databases and write queries, then script applications on top of them.
