Motivation
Modern software is complex, and is often too difficult for a single person to design and build on their own. By working together, we can pool everyone’s talents to tackle much larger, more complex projects. It also provides great opportunities to collaborate, expand our skills and learn from one another.
Team development is how most software is build, and knowing how to effectively work in a team is a key skill for any software developer. In this course, we emphasize using best practices in a team environment to produce a robust full-stack application. Our goal is a project that you and your team are proud to show your friends, family and potential employers.
tldr; don’t be this person.
