Hello, World!
I know what you’re thinking — “Not another programming tutorial!” And honestly, you’re right. The internet is already overflowing with tutorials, YouTube videos, and bootcamps promising to make you a “full-stack developer in 30 days”. So why build another one?
Because there’s a problem — actually, several.
When you first learn to code, it feels like you can conquer the world. You’ve mastered loops, functions, and data structures. You can solve LeetCode and Project Euler challenges. But that’s not enough. You want to build real-world applications, not just print Fibonacci sequences. So you start looking for direction.
You discover that building desktop applications is not easy and you wouldn’t even know where to begin. So you turn to the web and suddenly you’re knee-deep in HTML and CSS. But those are not programming languages. One is a markup language, the other is for styling. There is no logical problem-solving involved. Then comes a bit of JavaScript (maybe some jQuery too), but that’s just for front-end interactivity. It’s not what you imagined “programming” to be.
Yet you somehow persevere and manage to learn the basic workings of a CMS or a framework. You build a simple web-based project, and you can host it as long as you follow the same steps you learned in the tutorials. You have successfully launched your first dummy website! But when you step into the market, you realize thousands of freelancers and agencies are already doing the same thing — for dirt cheap. Finding a project, let alone building a career, will be nothing short of a miracle. You start to feel discouraged. Even after coming so far you still feel like you have not made any real progress.
All this while, you haven’t even dipped your toes in “software engineering”, which is where the real magic happens.
If you are lucky enough to get hired by a decent company, you get a glimpse of software architecture and engineering principles. But you can only grow as far as the knowledge of the senior-most developer in your company. If you aren’t lucky, you may never learn them at all — simply because you never knew what to look for.
You may have even completed some intermediate-level tutorials on topics like SOLID principles and Design Patterns. But your daily coding didn’t improve. That’s because most tutorials stop at examples — they rarely show how to apply these principles in a real-world project. In fact, you end up thinking they are “theoretical fluff”, when in reality, they are the foundation of highly scalable and maintainable software.
At this point, you could start experiencing “tutorial hell” where you go from one tutorial to another but lack the ability to apply knowledge and build something.
I have interviewed developers with 10+ years of experience who struggle to answer basic programming questions — not because they lack intelligence or they don’t work hard. They were just not lucky enough to find the right path in their career.
These are the issues I intend to solve through my course. We will start from scratch and follow a linear learning path, so even if all you have is a computer and an internet, you will be able to follow along just fine. Then we will move on to intermediate and advanced-level topics. Most importantly, we will build a real-world application. This won’t be a simple dummy project with some basic APIs and commands, we’ll go all in. We will simulate how a professional software engineering team works in a company.
By the end of the course, you will be job-ready and ahead of many developers with years of experience.
Without further ado, let’s begin!
