Managing a server is pretty complicated, and building with serverless architectures simplifies this process. As a student, mastering serverless functions can help you to build projects that solve real-world problems by integrating APIs, constructing user interfaces, and analysing data. Javascript is the core language of this course - one of the most in-demand languages to learn in the industry.

✔️ After completing the cabin, students will create their own app with this timeline:

Week 5 - Brainstorming & Proposals ⛈

Students will submit a final project proposal which should outline, at a high level, what their project will be. This includes a project flowchart that shows the different components of the project and how they will interact with one another.

Week 6 - Developing the MVP 💻

Students will be presenting their MVPs next week and will be working with their instructors and mentors to develop their projects over the course of the next 2 weeks.

Week 7 - Completing the MVP

Students should have an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of the final project. This should be a bare bones version of the project with the most basic functionality working.

Week 8 - Finalizing & Adding Features 🎀

Students will continue adding features and building their project until it is fully complete.

Week 9 - Final Presentations

Students will prepare a final presentation with a slidedeck on their project as well as write a blog post detailing their project and how they made it from start to finish.
