Inside an IT project — From 0 to Junior Engineer
Why we created this course
We get a lot of requests from viewers with zero or little IT pre-knowledge, who want to start a career in DevOps. But since DevOps Engineering is not an entry-level IT profession, we decided to create a course that will prepare non-IT people for transitioning into DevOps.
However, the course turned out to be a great resource for IT beginners in general. By simulating actual real world engineering tasks and going through the complete software development project, it completely dissolves the fear and insecurity of being an IT newbie. No matter if your end goal is to become a software developer, DevOps engineer, cloud engineer etc.
Mini-Bootcamp from Zero to Junior Engineer
The course is for complete IT beginners and our goal with it is to give you an equivalent of a junior engineer's work experience and know how the whole Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) works.
This course will give you an important foundational knowledge of software engineering without any knowledge gaps, that sometimes even junior engineers lack. So skills you gain here, will definitely help you stand out!

Leverage AI to Learn and Work More Efficiently
AI is a tool to amplify your existing skills.
That's why you need to learn fundamentals first — and use AI second.
Before you start
- How to create your own AI study companion
- Create personalized learning schedule, daily check-ins, and practice exercises tailored to you
- Instead of struggling to stay on track solo for 3-4 months, you have AI in your corner from the first chapter.
Role: IT Fundamentals Learner :)
Use AI Tools for Engineers
- Once you've built the complete app and deployed it to the cloud, you'll learn how professional developers actually use AI today
- Writing new features faster with an AI code editor (Cursor), debugging errors in minutes instead of hours
- Generating automation scripts, and understanding unfamiliar code instantly.
Role: Various Engineering Roles
IT Fundamentals Learning Schedule
Recommended schedule to give you an idea of the scope of the course.
However, it's completely self-paced :)
What Our Students Say 🙌
"FINALLY seeing the big picture." "Knowledge gaps filled."
I made this course for the person I once was — confused, overwhelmed, and trying to find my way in the tech world
— and for all the different people I've met along my journey who needed that same clarity.

The course, I wish I had when I transitioned to IT
While I help millions of IT professionals expand their knowledge into DevOps, I always wanted to create a course for COMPLETE IT newbies.
Because years ago I pivoted in my own career and transitioned from business/marketing background to software development. And the journey was painful and in my opinion, unnecessarily more tedious.
But I think this should NOT be so hard, why are no online courses or bootcamps or even computer science degrees teaching the whole e2e processes and making it more understandable?
So this is literally the course I wish I had when I started. I created this course, as if I would create it for my past self. And I'm sure as soon as you start your first job in a software development project, you will see the immense value and feel the confidence of understanding the roles and tasks in the process WAY BETTER than people with your level of experience :)
