Databases & APIs

Build the invisible engine behind modern apps: a working database and API. Students connect the same layers professional software teams use, then leave with proof they can make data move, not just talk about code.

Give Them a Project To Own
REAL BRIEFMODERN TOOLSFINISHED WORK

Work worth showing.

Every step moves toward a finished result, not another worksheet destined for a folder. Students practice judgment, make decisions, and learn how to finish what they start.

  • Model useful data and manage it visually in DBeaver
  • Build an Express and Node API that creates and retrieves records
  • Connect application code to a database with Prisma
  • Test endpoints in Postman and debug what breaks
  • Package and document the project with Git, GitHub, and Docker

Recognizable skills. Real leverage.

These are the platforms students will actually open, use, and connect while they work. Familiarity becomes fluency, and fluency makes the next ambitious project feel possible.
