Aim

We aim to help students get started with learning coding and software development. The concepts for each track are divided into weeks pedagogically so you can learn step-by-step.

No matter if you're a beginner or an expert, at each stage, you will be learning something new, and building something useful in real world. You will also be equipped with the skills and tools which would meet most tech requirements, and the final projects in each track will be good enough to be put in your portfolio or CV.

We are keeping the repository open to everyone from around the world, so everyone can use it to learn and share their ideas in the forks.

Theme and Project

This year's theme is... e-commerce!

Buying and selling of good has been key to the advent of civilization, it is an ever-growing and ever-evolving field, both utilizing and driving latest innovations and technologies.

Platforms today have made buying new items quick and as simple as a click, but what do we do with all the old stuff?

The projects in each track will revolve around this theme, and we are planning to build a platform where students can buy and sell items to each other.
