Full-Stack Development
Full-Stack Development
Full stack developers are the technical anchors for any cross-functional team. They are familiar with all or many of the segments of code for their product, ensuring its continuous integration and successful growth. This awareness allows them to understand and be in control of the app as a whole and to collaborate with specialists in various fields.
As a student of Full-Stack Development at BuildUp, you will learn from tutors with proven track records of building products people love and mentors that are leaders in their industries. You will work with a cross-functional team to build and ship a real product, instantly applying your knowledge in practice under the guidance of your tutor and mentors.
