The course at a glance
The main build course of the Junior Web AI Engineer path. It takes a student who has completed the two prerequisite quests to a junior web engineer who has built, secured, deployed and open-sourced a real application.
The course runs in a straight line — no side-tracks. One flagship product, The Sports Center, grown across eleven sequential phases after a one-week orientation.
How learning happens
Every chapter follows the same loop — taught in Phase 0 and run for the rest of the course. Two beats to learn, two beats to build. Most chapters take 30–60 minutes; the build chapter that closes each phase runs longer.
Learn
A short read plus an animated model of the idea. No syntax dumps — you learn what the thing is for.
Brief
Write the instruction in plain English. Precision of intent is the skill being trained here.
Review
Read what came back against a checklist. This is where engineers are actually made.
Tweak
Change one thing yourself, by hand, and watch it move. Ownership beats copy-paste.
What you need first
The JavaScript Quest
The language itself, through eleven mini-projects ending in the Books CRUD API.
The Git Quest
Version control, mental model first — ten phases from the commit graph to the PR workflow.
The Sports Center build
Static site → interactivity → live data → backend → database → auth → deploy → performance → AI features → capstone.
The portfolio
Everything built in this course is real, runnable, and shareable — and it compounds into one flagship artefact.
Your First Directed Page
The machine set up and the four-beat loop run for real, in about an hour.
The Sports Center
One codebase that grows from an empty folder into a live, secured, tested product.
A public GitHub profile
Every phase ends in a clean commit, a tagged release, and a PR you self-reviewed.
The capstone
The main build track is the reason the rest exists. You walk out not just knowing how to code, but having built and shipped the kind of application that sits behind a real business.
The Sports Center
A living website
Semantic, responsive, accessible HTML and CSS, made interactive and fed by live data.
Its own secured server
An Express API, a Prisma/SQLite database with real relations, and full auth.
Live and fast
Deployed on real URLs with cloud Postgres and a CI/CD pipeline.
Rich, refactored, open
Uploads, realtime, an AI assistant, targeted refactors, tests and docs.
Concept coverage matrix
Every major concept, where it's introduced, and where it pays off.
The skill ladder
What you can honestly say after each stage. Each claim maps to something you've built, run, and can show on a screen.
I can build and ship a real front end
A live, responsive, accessible site with real data.
I can build a secured backend
An Express API with a database and login.
I can run it in production
A public URL, CI/CD, and measured performance.
I am a junior full-stack engineer
A tested, documented, open-sourced product.
Time and pacing
Each chapter is roughly 30–60 minutes of focused work; the build chapter that closes each phase runs longer. At a steady few-chapters-a-week pace this course lands around three to four months after the prerequisites.
Steady pace
A few chapters a week after the prerequisites.
Typical chapter
The build chapter closing each phase runs longer.
