We are committed to the importance of education and feel a responsibility to contribute not only by providing internal training and seminars for our employees but also by giving back to the society that provides us with talented colleagues.
In recent years, we have organized seminars and mentorship programs at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. Now, we are thrilled to announce an Educational Partnership with the University of Bucharest, marking a significant expansion of our educational outreach.
In 2015, we introduced a one-semester course on "Server-side JavaScript NodeJS" at the University of Bucharest's Mathematics and Computer Science department. This course, aimed at final-year Bachelor's degree students, remains an integral part of our program. It has undergone several adaptations to stay current with industry trends and technological advancements; initially focusing on a full-stack approach, the course has shifted its emphasis to API development, transitioning from REST API to the more modern GraphQL.
The course structure includes two hours of theoretical instruction and one hour of practical application each week. The theoretical portion is designed to provide a strong foundation in essential JavaScript and NodeJS topics, covering syntax, toolchain, and build processes. The practical segment is hands-on, guiding students through the integration of all layers from the database to the web server using GraphQL and related tools. This segment also includes dedicated classes on the necessity and techniques of testing, ensuring that students understand the importance of quality assurance in software development.
Through this course, we aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the rapidly evolving field of server-side JavaScript development. By fostering a strong understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications, we prepare them to meet the challenges of the industry and contribute effectively in their future careers.
