Curriculum
1. UI/UX Design & Responsive Web Development
Module Summary
This module introduces students to modern frontend web development by building responsive and visually appealing websites from scratch. Students will learn how to transform a brand's identity into a professional web experience using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS.
The primary objective of this module is to strengthen UI/UX design skills, responsive layouts, component-based thinking, and clean code practices. Students will create two different design variants for the same brand, allowing them to explore multiple design approaches while improving creativity and frontend development skills.
By the end of this module, students will have a professional GitHub repository showcasing multiple website designs suitable for their portfolio.
Includes a knowledge assessment
2. Full-Stack MERN Development and Email Automation
In this module, students will build and deploy a complete dental appointment booking and management system using the MERN stack.
The application will allow patients to create accounts, view dental services, check available appointment slots, book appointments, and manage their bookings.
An administrator will manage doctors, services, availability, appointments, and booking statuses through a protected dashboard.
The system will also send automated emails when appointments are requested, confirmed, rejected, rescheduled, or cancelled.
Students will learn how SMTP works, how to connect Gmail securely using a Google App Password, and how to send emails from a Node.js backend using Nodemailer.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, students should be able to:
- Build a complete application using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js
- Design REST APIs
- Create and manage MongoDB collections
- Implement user registration and authentication
- Implement role-based authorization
- Protect administrator routes
- Develop appointment availability and booking logic
- Prevent duplicate appointment bookings
- Send automated transactional emails
- Configure Gmail SMTP using a Google App Password
- Manage environment variables securely
- Validate frontend and backend data
- Handle errors professionally
- Deploy a React frontend and Express backend on Render
- Connect a deployed backend to MongoDB Atlas
- Test a full-stack application
Includes a knowledge assessment
3. Understanding Stateful vs Stateless Applications & Deploying Stateless Apps on Vercel
it helps students understand how modern web applications manage data and user activity. They will learn the difference between stateful applications, which keep information in server memory, and stateless applications, where every request is handled independently and important data is stored externally in a database, cache, or authentication service.
Students will then learn why Vercel is designed for stateless deployment, how serverless functions work, and how to deploy a frontend or full-stack stateless application successfully on Vercel. By the end of the module, students should be able to identify whether an application is suitable for Vercel and structure it correctly for production deployment.
