About the course

What you’ll learn

Recruiters skim dozens of resumes with the same to-do apps and tutorial clones. Learn to pick a project that solves a real problem, scope it to something you can finish, build it the way professional teams do (Git, README, tests, deployment) and present it so it earns interviews: resume bullets, GitHub profile, demo video and interview stories. Pass every lesson quiz and the final exam to earn a verifiable certificate.
