Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a job after completing this program?

Full-stack developers are in high demand at startups and product companies. Our curriculum covers the exact stack (React, Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL) that modern companies use. While we cannot guarantee placement, the portfolio projects and interview preparation directly target what hiring managers evaluate.

Do I need experience with React or Python?

No. We teach both from fundamentals. You should understand basic HTML and CSS, but all React, TypeScript, and Python concepts are taught from the ground up.

Should I learn full-stack or specialize in frontend or backend?

Full-stack skills give you the most flexibility early in your career. You can always specialize later. Many startups prefer full-stack developers who can own entire features from UI to database.

Why React + Python instead of React + Node.js?

Python is more versatile โ€” it powers backend, data science, AI, and automation. FastAPI outperforms Express.js in most benchmarks. Learning Python as your backend language opens more career paths than Node.js alone.

Is Next.js necessary or can I just use React?

We teach both plain React and Next.js. Next.js adds server-side rendering, routing, and deployment optimizations that employers expect. Most production React applications now use Next.js or a similar meta-framework.

What if I miss a live session?

All sessions are recorded and available on the student portal within 24 hours. The instructor and TAs are available on Slack for questions.
