Write open-source code for Corona disaster management

CoronaSafe Network codebase is a national asset created by India’s leading software industry engineers along with the National Health Mission, Government of India and Department of Health, Government of Kerala.

Over 300+ industry software engineers have voluntarily contributed to build CoronaSafe Network. The Corona Care software is currently being used in over 200 hospitals to record patient intake and availability of facilities.

1-to-1 coaching from industry programmers

This is an industry-backed course and it will prepare you for a career in building production software. This reflects in what you will learn, and how you will learn it. Each of your code submission will be reviewed in depth by a coach and your code will get kind, courteous feedback. You will gain hard-earned insights about abstraction boundaries, data modelling, layering, and program design.

Ask Me Anything (AMA) with devs, designers, and founders

You will hear experience reports from people in the industry. There will be no long, boring introductions; instead you will hear raw stories of how folks got started, what they’d advice their younger selves, and how the industry works today. The best things about these AMAs are the free-wheeling question and answer session where you talk with the speakers about the most pressing questions in your mind.

Fellowship with a small group of students from across the country

This course is open to students from across the country and you will team up with them for some of the programming projects in the course. You will learn to collaborate with them through git, GitHub and the pull request workflow. You will have access to a community forum for discussions as well as a Discord server for conversations. There will be a kind and respectful code of conduct to make the experience welcoming for everyone.

Skills

You will learn a host of practical skills that will help you in kickstarting your career and some lessons that will stay with you even long after.

Create real-world Rails webapps

Ruby on Rails pioneered the modern web framework revolution. It is a fully integrated package that has everything we need to build complete web applications. GitHub is built on Rails and so is Shopify. Thousands of startups build their systems in Rails every year, and it has also become a mainstream solution for large companies.

Create advanced front-ends with React and ReScript/OCaml

You’ll learn to program in the Typed Functional paradigm in ReScript/OCaml. You'll create UIs in React and deploy your own single-page applications. You'll also learn practical functional programming and learn to model complex domains with Hindley-Milner types. ReScript/OCaml will also help you see what programming languages are really made of. That means you will then be able to learn and be productive with any other programming language much faster.
