Most of the people who join our Full Stack batch don't have a computer science degree. Commerce graduates, mechanical engineers, support executives — and a good number of them are writing production code within six months. Here's the roadmap we use.
Month 1–2: HTML, CSS and JavaScript fundamentals
Don't rush this. Everything you build later sits on top of JavaScript, so spend time on:
- Variables, functions, arrays and objects
- The DOM and event handling
fetch, promises andasync/await- Flexbox and CSS Grid for layout
Build: a to-do app, a weather dashboard using a public API, and a responsive landing page.
Month 3: React
React is still the most-hired frontend library in India by a wide margin. Learn components, props, state, hooks, and routing. Then learn how to talk to an API and handle loading and error states properly — that's what separates a tutorial project from a real one.
Month 4: Node.js, Express and MongoDB
Now go backend. Build a REST API with authentication, validation, and a database. Understand what happens when two users hit the same endpoint at once.
The single most useful thing you can do here is deploy your API publicly and break it on purpose. Debugging in production teaches more than any course video.
Month 5: Capstone project + Git workflow
Pick one meaningful product — a job board, a booking system, a clinic management app — and build it end to end with a proper Git history, pull requests, and a README.
Month 6: Interview preparation
- Data structures and algorithms (arrays, strings, hash maps, basic recursion)
- JavaScript trivia: closures, event loop,
this - System design basics: how would you scale the app you just built?
What to skip
Don't learn three frontend frameworks. Don't spend a month on CSS animations. Don't start with TypeScript on day one — add it in month 3 when React starts to feel comfortable.
Doing it with structure
Self-learning works, but the drop-off rate is brutal — most people stall somewhere around month 3 when the tutorials stop and the real problems start. That's exactly where a small live batch, code reviews, and a trainer who has shipped production React help the most.
