Course Description
A structured full stack development program with a focus on AI-powered tools and
methodologies, designed to equip mid-senior level professionals with the skills and knowledge
needed to excel in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. The program is split into phases and
covers team work, modern web development and secure code. During this bootcamp,
participants will build a comprehensive project that integrates AI meaningfully into its
functionality.
The program will be delivered online on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 6:30 to 8:00 pm
local Lebanon time for the period of 12 weeks. In addition, soft skills training will take place on
Saturdays for 3 days (full day workshop). The sessions will be live and remote training sessions
except for the soft skills training, which will require physical presence at Beirut Digital District.
Additionally, participants will be asked to work on assignments and asynchronous tasks and be
engaged both on Slack and during sessions to foster a collaborative learning environment and
to simulate real-world development team dynamics.
Each session covers new concepts, live coding, and Q&A. The format is hands-on and practical,
with real-world examples used throughout.
Course Objectives
- Develop professional habits and soft skills needed to work effectively in a real development team
- Build modern, responsive, and accessible web interfaces using industry-standard tools
- Design and develop secure, scalable backend systems and APIs
- Work with databases, authentication, and real-time communication
- Write clean, tested, and maintainable code following best practices
- Apply software quality standards including testing, security, and code review
- Manage infrastructure and automate workflows using DevOps practices
- Understand how AI and large language models work and integrate them meaningfully into applications
- Build AI-powered features including semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation, and intelligent agents
- Deliver a complete, production-ready full-stack application as part of a team
Eligibility Criteria
- Lebanese.
- Minimum age 21.
- Strong foundation in software engineering, at least 1 year of professional experience. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis; you can still apply if you have a good understanding of fundamental software engineering principles.
- Familiarity with at least one programming language, database management system and styling techniques.
- Proficiency in English is a must.
- Participants are expected to demonstrate a high level of commitment, which includes full availability to attend all online and face to-face sessions, actively engage in additional work such as exercises and assignments, and dedicate sufficient time to develop comprehensive end-of course project.
- Applicants must sit for a comprehensive entrance assessment to evaluate their skills and aptitude, ensuring that our program aligns well with their skills and career objectives. This includes an interview, a time-limited asynchronous coding task, and, in certain cases, a brief real-time coding challenge.
- Please be advised that we reserve the right to terminate the training of any participant who does not demonstrate a serious commitment to the program (e.g., lack of attendance or interest), engages in inappropriate behavior, or violates any of our policies.
