Overview

What You Will Learn

Knowing a programming language is only the start. This course covers the engineering practices that make code maintainable and teams productive — the skills that separate a coder from a software engineer.

  • Understand how software is planned, built and delivered in teams
  • Write clean, readable and maintainable code
  • Use Git workflows, pull requests and code reviews
  • Apply SOLID principles and common design patterns
  • Design REST APIs and relational databases sensibly
  • Write tests and understand CI/CD pipelines

Practical Learning

What You Will Build

Practice projects that turn concepts into working software you can explain and show on GitHub.

Practice Project

Team Feature Delivery

Git + GitHub

Deliver features through user stories, branches, pull requests and reviews.

Practice Project

Refactoring Exercise

Clean Code + Testing

Improve a legacy codebase using clean-code principles and tests.

Practice Project

Design Document

API Design + Database Design

Write a technical design for a small application: data model, APIs and trade-offs.

Who Is This For?

  • Students who already know one programming language
  • Fresh graduates
  • Junior developers
  • Self-taught developers

Prerequisites

  • Working knowledge of at least one programming language (Java, JavaScript or similar)

Learning Outcome

By the end of the course you should be able to work effectively in a development team: write maintainable code, collaborate with Git, review code, write tests and reason about design decisions.

AHAD Academy focuses on practical skills and interview readiness. We do not guarantee placements, jobs or salaries.
