Why are we doing this?
At Code Your Future, we expect everyone to graduate with a unique professional portfolio. You will begin building this portfolio as soon as you begin our Software Development Course. At first, your portfolio will be a simple HTML/CSS page deployed to Github Pages or Netlify. This is your MVP.
Every module, you will iterate on your portfolio, adding a new project and improving your design and presentation. By the time you apply to Final Projects, your portfolio will help you show you are ready to be accepted on to a development team. The process of developing the portfolio, through specified git workflows, through small scoped feature development, and through case study and written presentation, will all help you succeed in Final Projects.
