It introduces you to HTML, CSS, JavaScript... Read More and Python as well as full stack frameworks such as Flask and Django. It also covers working with Git, IDEs, deployments and so on. The supports in the form of the Slack community, tutors, your assigned mentor and the careers team are great as well.
