Unit 1

Software Development Foundations

Somakodi's JavaScript bootcamp begins with an introduction to key software engineering concepts and computer science fundamentals. By the end of this foundational unit, you'll have gained hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, and Terminal and learn how to create multi-page web products from scratch by applying concepts including BEM, Flexbox, and Sass to build static web pages. You'll also learn how to set up and structure new projects like an experienced Software Engineer, while also leveraging Git to manage files and control versions of your work.

Unit 2

Learn JavaScript

Delve into the basics of JavaScript, including variables, data types, and operators. You'll then navigate essential control structures such as if statements, loops, and switch statements, gaining proficiency in crafting logical code structures. Dive deeper into the intricacies of functions and scope, honing your skills in organizing and encapsulating code for optimal performance. Explore the power of arrays and objects, mastering their manipulation to store and retrieve data efficiently. Additionally, you'll learn invaluable error handling and debugging techniques, empowering you to identify and resolve issues in your code effectively.

Unit 3

Front-End Development

Delve into Front-end development with JavaScript, leverage the language's capabilities to create dynamic and interactive user experiences directly within web browsers. Manipulating HTML elements, and dynamically updating content without requiring page reloads. Through Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation, access and modify elements on the webpage, enabling features like form validation, animations, and responsive design. Learn performance optimization, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility while crafting engaging user interfaces that provide a smooth and intuitive browsing experience across various devices and screen sizes.

Unit 4

Back-end Development

Build a foundation in full-stack development by delving into back-end development fundamentals, all while mastering the intricacies of JavaScript. You'll become proficient in object-oriented programming and data storage techniques, including database management and object-relational mapping. As you grasp the fundamentals of JavaScript, you'll familiarize yourself with Express.js, a versatile JavaScript web framework, before leveraging it to craft personalized JSON APIs alongside dynamic front-end interfaces. This comprehensive approach will empower you to develop polished, feature-rich, and highly interactive web applications.

Unit 5

Cumulative Project

Upon completing the four phases, each featuring its distinct group project, students collaborate with instructors to devise solo project ideas. They then allocate focused time to develop a highly sophisticated application independently. Throughout this process, students receive ample feedback from instructors, enabling them to delve deeply into a variety of advanced technologies essential for realizing their concepts. As a culmination, students have the chance to showcase or present their final individual projects.

Soft Skills

During the software engineering class, students engage in a unit dedicated to developing soft skills essential for their career advancement. This unit focuses on enhancing various aspects, including self-leadership, effective collaboration, impactful communication, entrepreneurial mindset, proficient project management, and career readiness. By honing these skills, students not only strengthen their professional capabilities but also improve their adaptability, problem-solving abilities, and overall employability in the dynamic field of software engineering.
