Read more about the course
Using the new FA²STR framework, you'll learn a consistent, repeatable process to approach any development challenge from first-principles-based thinking instead of code-first, unmaintainable approaches.
You'll build features for 5+ projects from first principles (backend, frontend, desktop, chrome extension, custom integration, etc).
As a Software Essentialist, you'll know how to:
- apply the 12 Essentials to your backend TypeScript APIs
- apply the 12 Essentials to your frontend React applications
- save doomed codebases
- design custom abstractions
- and more...
