Most importantly, you’ll learn how to elevate your skills to Senior Developer level from an industry expert with tangible experience in prominent companies throughout Silicon Valley and Toronto.
Why should you enroll in this advanced programming course?
I’m Andrei... take just 5 minutes to hear why this course is unique.
No other course like this exists because the subject matter is complex, and creating a cohesive program covering all the technologies we explore requires significant effort.
This is why most courses primarily cater to beginners.
I believe aspiring developers shouldn’t settle for a Junior Developer role.
Creating this course has been the most challenging endeavor of my career. It involved months of planning, filming, and editing, alongside years of practical experience.
Upon completion of the course, you'll develop a functioning image recognition app to showcase in your portfolio.
You’ll be equipped with all the skills detailed below to impress your employer and succeed in your upcoming interviews.
You'll progress from absolute beginner to knowing how to:
- Utilize React and Redux for building extensive applications
- Enhance any web application's performance (including Code Splitting, Load Balancing, Caching, Code Optimizations, and much more)
- Employ SSH on a remote Linux server and generate SSH keys
- Configure a project using Webpack and Parcel to bundle your files
- Implement cutting-edge security measures for your applications
- Leverage AWS Lambda and Serverless architecture to support applications with millions of users
- Employ Typescript to minimize bugs in your code
- Write various tests and familiarize yourself with the testing tools for superior software quality
- Create containers for your services using Docker and Docker Compose
- Manage user authentication and authorization via Sessions and JWT
- Utilize Redis for session management and caching
- Determine the best approach between Server Side Rendering and Client Side Rendering
- Develop a Progressive Web App that functions offline like a native app
- Incorporate Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment in your organization to impress your boss
Some of these terms may not resonate with you now, but they represent the knowledge and abilities all Senior Developers possess.
Not only will you learn how to apply these skills, but also grasp the deeper understanding of their importance and the challenges they address.
Why is this understanding crucial?
Because being able to articulate the "why" during interviews allows you to impress, even if you lack extensive experience.
Your boss will feel confident trusting you to lead projects and implement these skills.
Here are 5 factors that distinguish this course from others:
1. Acquire only the most sought-after skills for today.
We will not delve into outdated technologies commonly found in many online courses.
While still useful, older technologies offer limited financial rewards, and their demand is waning. This course focuses on the specific tools and technologies currently in high demand within the industry.
These include the latest technologies used by leading companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon.
If you're serious about elevating your Web Developer career this year, this course is meant for you.
Here are the in-demand skills you'll master and be able to showcase on your resume:
- SSH
- React
- Webpack + Parcel + Vite
- Node.js + Express
- Front End Performance Optimizations
- Back End Performance Optimizations
- Progressive Web Apps
- Typescript
- Software Testing
- Server Side Rendering and Client Side Rendering
- Front End Security Optimizations
- Back End Security Optimizations
- Docker
- Redis
- Sessions + JWT
- Amazon Web Services ("AWS")
- Serverless Architecture
- Continuous Integration
- Continuous Delivery
- Continuous Deployment
2. You won’t remain a Junior Developer.
The course is structured to elevate your expertise beyond that of a Junior Developer. Many students who have completed this course now hold Senior Developer positions in major tech companies.
After finishing, you’ll be poised to apply for Intermediate and Senior Developer roles. Say goodbye to your Junior Developer title.
We will not take shortcuts in this program.
3. Learn from my real-world expertise (that's me 🙋♂️) in Silicon Valley and Toronto.
I have created large-scale applications and managed developer teams. I'm not just an online marketer or salesperson; I'm a software developer skilled in these technologies.
Since launching my Complete Web Developer Coding Bootcamp, I've recognized the high demand for advanced learning opportunities, which led me to design this course to fill that gap.
Many available courses (especially affordable ones) are typically:
- Taught by instructors lacking practical experience or...
- Too lengthy and tedious, covering outdated topics or irrelevant information for securing a job or...
- Lacking a clear, challenging roadmap, merely having you follow along as someone else codes... which is unhelpful!
With so much noise in the industry, a plethora of conflicting ideas, and various methodologies, only those who have actively worked with these technologies in companies can offer valuable insights.
This course addresses that very issue.
4. Respect for your time.
This course encapsulates my years of experience in the industry, alongside the lessons learned from teaching thousands of students globally.
I’ve explored countless coding books, tutorials, and bootcamps, experiencing frustration with incomplete and outdated resources.
Having interviewed candidates and been interviewed myself, I understand what companies seek in candidates and what differentiates seniors from juniors.
All this has been done for you, recognizing your time is valuable.
I’ve distilled the most relevant information and the best format for learning into a straightforward roadmap for becoming an exceptional Web Developer.
P.S. ~20% of Zero To Mastery students are individuals currently enrolled in full-time coding bootcamps (who have invested over $8,000+ 👎) or pursuing full-time computer science degrees. Yet, they still choose to enroll in this course and others from Zero To Mastery.
I'll let you reach your conclusion!
5. Join a vibrant online community to enhance your learning experience.
You’ll engage with fellow students, collaborate on group projects, and contribute to open source initiatives. Whenever you have questions, you can get immediate support (including from myself).
Your success in this course translates to my success, which is why I’ll be there to assist you continuously, clarifying concepts and addressing inquiries as they arise.
Active. Thriving. Supportive. Helpful. Friendly. Motivating. Essential.
These are just a few words students use to describe our ZTM Developer Community Discord, recognized as one of the largest and most engaged developer communities on Discord.
6. Enjoy your learning journey.
Crazy, right?!
While many online courses provide a series of videos and exercises, this course stands out by immersing you in a storyline where you are employed by Keiko Corp., a rapidly growing tech company with two products in need of enhancement.
Much like a video game, each segment of the course presents you with challenges that mirror real-life scenarios you will face as a Senior Developer.
Why master these subjects? Why upgrade your skills?
Because in today's world, merely being a Junior Developer isn’t fulfilling.
You aspire to feel valued, intelligent, and respected at work.
You want to influence significant decisions.
I'm here to guide you toward that goal. I guarantee that by the course's end, you will enjoy growth in your role, gain confidence, earn greater respect, and command a higher salary.
