Web Fundamentals
Fundamental / Beginner • 12 Weeks
Overview
What is the Web Fundamentals Program?
Launch your software development career in just 12 weeks through our blended learning bootcamp. Choose your specialization in Frontend Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React) or Backend Development (Java, Spring Boot, SQL), and gain the practical, industry-ready skills employers are looking for.
The Web Fundamentals Program is an intensive 12-week hybrid bootcamp designed for beginners and aspiring software developers. Throughout the program, you will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard technologies including Figma, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Java, Spring Boot, SQL, Git, and collaborative development workflows. Learning is project-based, allowing you to design, build, and deploy modern, responsive, and scalable web applications while working on real-world challenges.
The bootcamp follows a blended learning model, combining classroom instruction with supervised online learning. Participants attend three in-person sessions each week for their chosen Frontend or Backend specialization, held from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, complemented by two live online sessions each week for mentorship, code reviews, assignments, and guided practice.
By the end of the program, you will have built a portfolio of real-world projects, mastered essential software development tools and workflows, and developed the confidence to pursue internships, entry-level software engineering roles, or continue into more advanced software development programs. The program delivers 15 hours of guided learning per week, totaling 180 instructional hours and 12 academic credit hours.
Who It's For
Prerequisites
No prior experience required. Basic computer literacy is enough to get started. Ideal for learners who want to build a solid foundation in web development.
Program Structure
How the 12 Weeks Are Structured
Three clear phases take you from zero to job-ready.

Track Specialization
After Week 2 you choose: Frontend (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React) or Backend (Java, OOP, Spring Boot, SQL). Both tracks run in parallel with dedicated instructors.
Capstone Project
You build and present a complete real-world web application demonstrating mastery of your chosen track the flagship piece of your developer portfolio.
The Two Tracks
Frontend vs Backend What's the Difference?
At the end of Week 2, every Participants chooses one specialization. Both lead to job-ready skills.
Track B
Frontend Track
Frontend development is everything the user sees and touches layouts, styled components, interactivity, and live data from APIs. This track takes you from writing your first HTML tag all the way to building full React applications.
