The program begins with the fundamentals that every developer must own regardless of which stack they eventually specialise in. You will write programs in both Python and Java — learning language syntax, object-oriented design, and logical problem decomposition through progressively challenging exercises.

DSA is the language of technical interviews at every company from startups to FAANG. This module builds strong algorithmic thinking — teaching you not just what data structures exist, but when and why to use each one, and how to analyse the efficiency of your solutions using Big O notation.

Everything users see and interact with runs in the browser. This module teaches you to build polished, responsive web interfaces from scratch — using semantic HTML, modern CSS techniques including Flexbox and Grid, and JavaScript to make them interactive and dynamic.

React is the dominant front-end framework in the industry — used by Facebook, Instagram, Airbnb, and thousands of product companies. This module teaches you to build fast, maintainable, and reusable user interfaces using React's component model and the modern hooks API.

The back end is where business logic lives — handling requests, managing data, enforcing authentication, and producing the responses your front end consumes. This module teaches you to build secure, well-structured REST APIs using Node.js and Express, following patterns used in production applications.

Every application stores data. This module covers both relational and document databases — giving you the ability to choose the right database for the problem, design schemas that scale cleanly, and integrate them into your Node.js applications using both raw queries and ORMs.

Every professional development team uses Git. This module teaches you to manage code history, collaborate through branches and pull requests, resolve merge conflicts, and use GitHub as the central hub for your project — workflows that are non-negotiable in any software job.

Writing code is one skill. Writing code that is testable, maintainable, and built to last is another. This module introduces automated testing with Jest, the SOLID design principles, common design patterns, and the code quality habits — like refactoring and code review — that professional teams depend on.

This module addresses the skills that characterise mid-to-senior developers — thinking at the system level, containerising applications with Docker, and automating the entire build, test, and deployment pipeline through CI/CD. You will deploy a complete application to cloud infrastructure.

The capstone combines every skill from across the diploma into one complete, independently built project. You will plan, design, build, test, and deploy a full stack web application from scratch — with a production URL, a documented GitHub repository, and a written technical case study that demonstrates your full engineering ability to prospective employers.
