• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
