Course Description
This advanced program prepares experienced developers for real-world engineering roles on enterprise teams. You will build enterprise frontends with Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, and NgRx, and develop secure, scalable backends with Node.js and Express.js, including JWT authentication and role-based access control. You will design advanced data layers with PostgreSQL and Redis, then containerize and deploy applications to AWS using Docker, Kubernetes fundamentals, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions. The program concludes with a capstone in which you design, test, and defend a highly available Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, applying microservices principles, test-driven development, and real-time features.
