I am a Full Stack Unicorn developer and a business owner.
Years ago I decided to step in and write my own app myself.
I started by doing many courses but what really made the difference was to work together with expert programmers.
Those programmers were not writing code, but they were guiding me while I was writing the code, in a one-to-one daily call in screen sharing.
I started by following the instructions like a robot and I asked a lot of questions.
Until one day I noticed that our conversation was a dialogue at the same level on how to organise the code, define the conventions, and make the decisions together.
I started from the frontend in React/React-Native, Redux and Rest API with Axios, but now I replaced Redux with Recoil.
I wrote my own media library, so I kept the Rest API with Axios only for file uploads and all the rest is in GraphQL.
I continued with the backend, in Apollo GraphQL and Prisma, with Postgres SQL database.
And then the deployment with Kubernetes, on Digital Ocean.
It took more than one year to master the deployment with Kubernetes, and a few months after, to figure out how to automate the continuous deployment on Gitlab.
It was at that moment that I realised that it would have been difficult to find developers with this set of skills… unless WE train them!
And this is how I landed on Udemy with this internship course series.
I am creating, upgrading and expanding this serie to help the programmers out of there to became full stack unicorn developers.
The more we are, the better it is for us, for our employers or clients and, in the end, for all the users.
My goal with this series is to fully cover each aspect of the same project, showing how to write a frontend for the browser and for the mobile, how to write a backend with a database, how to run a local environment and how to deploy a frontend, a backend and a database on a Kubernetes Cluster, on a real domain name with a valid SSL/TLS certificate.
