Course Title: Tech 1 — Web & Mobile Ecosystem Fundamentals

Course Objective: Gain a foundational understanding of the core technologies, platforms, and concepts that underpin the modern web and mobile ecosystems, essential for product and design professionals.

Format: 13 lectures, 2 hours each, once a week.

How this course works

This is not a coding course. You will not be asked to memorise syntax or write programs from scratch. Instead:

• You will build from week one. Using AI tools, you will generate, modify, and deploy real web applications — starting with a personal webpage in the very first session.
• Fundamentals follow experience. Each week we dissect something you have already built.
• AI is the medium, not a module. You are expected to generate most of your code with AI tools. The skill we are building is directing these tools well — which requires understanding the stack conceptually.
• The course converges into a final project. The last weeks are a build sprint ending in a Demo Day.
