THE INSTRUCTOR

Meet the instructor

Hello, I am Flavio Copes. You may know me from my blog flaviocopes.com , my free
programming ebooks on thevalleyofcode.com, or my freeCodeCamp contributions. I
have been organizing this Bootcamp every year since 2020. I am 39 years old,
Italian. I graduated in computer engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2008.
My passion for computers dates back to the 1980s. I have been a Linux fan since
1998, a Mac enthusiast since 2005, bought my first JavaScript book in 1998, and
consider myself a professional JavaScript developer since 2012.

Just a few words to let you know I'm serious about these things.

My mission is to help you become a Web Developer.

The schedule

Each week we'll unlock a new module


MODULE 1

In this module we define and plan our application, understanding the problem,
the architecture we'll need, the tech choices. We'll introduce and install
PocketBase locally, and we'll start doing some initial data modeling for our
app, creating collections.


MODULE 2

We'll introduce Astro, we'll create our Astro-based website, with a Git
repository so we can easily track progress. We'll then create our homepage,
blog, etc, for the site part. We'll use Tailwind to build a layout that is
responsive and handles dark and bright mode. We'll learn how to use Astro
components to compose the HTML, server side, using JavaScript imports. We'll
also learn how to create dynamic routes and how to use content collections to
build the product blog. Finally we'll push the site to GitHub.


MODULE 3

In module 3 we'll start working on the app part of our SaaS. We'll create a
dashboard and we'll start fetching data from PocketBase and we'll show it in the
app. We'll add a way to create a new project using a modal window. We'll
introduce htmx and Alpine.js and I'll show you how to use them to perform
actions and make our app dynamic. We'll let people add a task to the project,
and we'll list the projects tasks.


MODULE 4

In module 4 we'll first add a sidebar that lists all projects, with a hamburger
menu to show it on mobile too. We'll use htmx's `hx-boost` feature to make the
app feel faster. Then we'll add a way to mark tasks as done, edit the project
status, edit the project's name, and edit the task text. We'll also add a way to
delete a project and a task. We'll add the ability to star a task, and we'll
then show starred tasks coming form all projects in the dashboard.


MODULE 5

In module 5 we'll introduce authentication to our app. We'll protect all routes
that require auth, and we'll start creating user-specific data. All projects,
tasks, etc, will be associated with a user. We'll also add forms to sign up and
sign in, and reset the password. We'll let people logout too. We'll add form
protection using Cloudflare Turnstile.


MODULE 6

In module 6 we'll make it possible to upload images to a task via drag and drop,
and we'll let users delete them too. We'll also take care of security across our
app, talk about XSS, introduce a Content Security Policy. We'll then introduce
some error handling across our requests.


MODULE 7

In module 7 we'll handle showing starred tasks before non-starred ones from
PocketBase, we'll handle resource not found issues, we'll see how to handle htmx
connection errors, we'll add some more security checks by setting htmx to only
allow requests to our domain and using the correct headers and origin to prevent
possible abuse.


MODULE 8

In module 8 we'll create teams. We'll create the teams collection in PocketBase,
show a form to let people create a team, we'll show teams in the sidebar, we'll
allow people to activate a team by paying the subscription on Stripe, we'll add
projects to the team, list team projects, list starred team tasks, we'll also
list team projects in the sidebar, and do some work on the sidebar to highlight
the active project and team.


MODULE 9

In module 9 we'll keep working on teams. We'll add invites, we'll list team
members,s we'll handle accepting/rejecting invites, we'll send emails through
PocketBase, we'll handle changing a team name, subscription cancellation, we'll
freeze the projects if people stop paying, and we'll add a link to manage the
subscription on Stripe to update payment method. We'll also handle team deletion
and clearing the data.


MODULE 10

In module 10 we'll create an activity page where people can see what happened in
their projects, and we'll create a team dashboard where people can see what
happened in their team projects at a glance. We'll add a way for people to
change their username, and in the filters list we will add a way to filter by
user, by team, by project. We also show tasks done today in the personal/team
dashboard, we'll do some optimizations and we'll add a service worker to show a
offline splash screen. We'll also allow the app to be installed as PWA.


MODULE 11

In module 11 we'll take care of caching and performance. We'll prevent 2
roundtrips with HX-Redirect, we'll optimize creating a project and task, we'll
prevent double click of the buttons, we'll cache modals, we'll cache assets,
we'll add loading spinners.


MODULE 12

Module 12 is about deployment. We'll deploy our app to Railway using Docker, and
we'll handle all we need to go from local dev mode to production.

Watch this short video to get an idea of what we'll build
How the app looks like, dark and light mode

Did I say the app we'll build looks great as a PWA on a phone/tablet?


Hear what students say



“The web development bootcamp was a game changer for me. It teached me how to
develop modern web applications using the best practices, I recommend it
100%!!!”


VICTOR CAMPOS

“I can’t recommend enough this course for self learner developer. It gives me
the bird eye view of current technology and lots of portfolio projects. But my
most valuable takeaway from this course is the newbie learning community that
learns together with you. For me, this course boost my confidence to apply for
dev jobs, and alhamdulillah, 1 month later I got a full time job as developer.”


IVAN ZULFIKAR

“This course was a game changer for me. the more regimented coursework made me
realize I had to grind harder if I wanted to make it. It's also teaches you a
wide range of skills, vs udemy courses where you'll learn 5 skill sets maybe at
most. Here you'll learn 20+ (probably more). I already feel like I've learned
20x what I could have found on my own. Thanks Flavio!”


BRAD ALEXANDER

“Flavio offers a personal feeling bootcamp course that allows you to interact
with him and 50+ fellow course participants using discord and great online
courses. If you can "do JavaScript" but want to go the next level I highly
recommend joining where you can work at your own pace but take part with many
others for support. Come increase the fun!”


GEOFF HOLLINGWORTH

“I am really enjoying Flavio's course, there are so many nuggets of wisdom in
there. To have such a vast range of smooth flowing and consistent Javascript
learning material in one place is a pleasure- thank you Flavio!!”


PETE ROOBOL

“I learned the most valuable lessons in practice, theory, and execution. The
bootcamp gives a well defined curriculum including projects and examples. The
text based style is just exponentially great and Flavio is always there to help
out!”


FARKAS ATTILA

“Finally I found an affordable & flexible ONLINE bootcamp where I can manage my
time between learning and my family. Fellow students who always help each other
& with Flavio himself actively engages with what student needs help me
enormously in my learning journey!”


AYU ADIATI

“This course is much more satisfying than General Assembly's JavaScript
Development class. Flavio gets into the nitty gritty of how things work and why
they work that way. I'm a QA Engineer at a tech startup and I'm learning a lot
about the tools that my Engineering team already uses and I think it's helping
me to be better at my job. I also really appreciate that you can work on this
course at your own pace.”


ANNA KALIL

“I just wanted to share what a great experience I am having in this bootcamp. I
was so nervous to sign up for this, but after a month, I am getting to know some
great people from all over who share my enthusiasm for building web apps. In a
short time I have already learned a LOT. I love Tailwind CSS, and now that we
are beginning the JavaScript portion of the bootcamp, I am even more excited
than I was before the class started. Honestly, this has been one of the best
decisions I have made. Thanks for all of your efforts to lift us up as pro
developers and for giving me a break on the tuition. It is worth every penny and
then some!”


TOM PHILLIPS

“I started learning programming a couple of months before the bootcamp started,
and it felt overwhelming to figure out how I should approach it. I tried using
other tutorials, but the ones I found were mostly video-based and I found it
hard to follow, especially since I am a beginner. However, this bootcamp is text
based, and I find it much more enjoyable to be able to go back and read the
material again, I feel I am absorbing the information in a different way. Also,
the bootcamp has given me a good structure for learning all the topics that are
necessary to become a full stack developer, which would have taken me a very
long time to figure out on my own. In addition, the discord community is very
friendly, and I have found lots of help and information from the chat.”


CHRISTIAN HALVORSEN

“I had some background in learning this programming language, but this course
offered so much more insight into all things that happens behind the scenes! I
fell a little bit more confident, that I will be able to prosper my future
career with JavaScript.”


GEDRIE

“The JS Bootcamp is an excellent resource for anybody looking to improve. I
still use this course as a primary resource for gaps in JS knowledge. Highly
recommend you give this course a try!”


LAMBERTO ASGHEDOM

“It's great to be part of the JS Bootcamp, learning new things with the friendly
Discord community. A nice thing about Flavio's course is that the theory is
written in small fun blocks with some practical projects on the side so it
allows you to follow it easily.”


AURORE KNAPIC

“Flavio's lessons get you building real things right away. The variety of
projects you'll build will serve as great examples for building your own
products. He uses the latest libraries, tech and tools to get you up and running
in no time.”


COREY GWIN

“I've learnt a lot from Flavio's React.js, Node.js related courses, since my
current job tech stack is using javascript a lot. The challenges in the end of
each lesson are interesting as well. I do agree with Flavio as his courses
format are not videos. So I can reference anytime I want to remind myself
anything.”


KHANH MAI

“Flavio is a great developer with the humility to show his process in
development; instead of showing only the perfect 'Ciak'. This translates into a
real lesson where you can learn the mindset, the approach you face, the theory
but you come home with much more. Becoming a programmer is hard, Flavio is
teaching me a serious and profitable approach to becoming a good developer with
real projects.”


GIANDOMENICO RICEPUTI

“Flavio's courses are a great resource that you can reference from time-time
when you get stuck. They are well-organized & follow a flow that will make
understanding them easier as you go on plus you get to actually build something
while learning.”


JOAN HENRY

“The course has been very good. I learned a lot and it got me thinking about
what I have to work on and improve. I found the content and pace of the workshop
excellent, I like the format. This was the first time I was involved in webinar
training, and it has been a great learning experience, there are so many little
things to know and learn one couldn’t possibly learn it on their own, and that’s
where Flavio and the JS Bootcamp really make the difference. Also, I found it to
be a very good webinar for new-comers to the web world. The information provided
will prove to be very useful in practice.”


FRANCISCO INTRIAGO

“Hi everyone. My name is Illia, I am from Belarus, little country in the middle
of the Europe. I am a second year student now. And I want to tell you about my
expressions about The JS Bootcamp. It was really awesome. I found this course at
the end of May and understood, that is what I really want to learn in the
summer, while I was on vacation. I don’t know English very well, and this course
was really good to learn it with Flavio. You should be very hardworking to
finish that course, because there are a lot of new information, and you need to
understand it in a little period of time. At the and or this course you can try
to find work, because now you know all concepts of JS, and it is enough to be JS
developer.”


ILLIA LAZIUK

“The JS Bootcamp is in a written form and available forever which is great. You
can always go back and refresh your memory, and you will since it's so full of
information, tips and tricks - the curriculum is huge! I am a junior front end
for about a year and a half now and yet I found so many details in the course
materials that I never learned in a proper way before. Also finally learned and
understood the bigger picture of frontend development, not just HTML, CSS and
JavaScript but all other things that come into play like npm, webpack, babel,
networking, and many other concepts that are missing from most courses I took in
the past. Pair that with a very, very low price, multiple discount options, very
friendly and helpful instructor Flavio and you have a great deal. Community is
also just the right size, not too big, not too small, someone is always there to
help you move through curriculum. Flavio also leaves no questions / requests
unanswered. ”


MIRJANA TOMIC

“I have learnt a lot and really could expand my knowledge. One of the main
things I learned: there's so much more you can do with JavaScript today compared
to 12 years ago, so it is inevitable to stay up to date. This bootcamp is the
right place, because you get information that starts from zero up to advanced
modern topics. And the Discord chat gives you the opportunity to discuss with
the other participants in order to seek for and provide help or just to chat. I
can recommend the JavaScript Bootcamp to everyone who is involved in web
development!”


MARCO KUPRAT

“You will be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive course for full-stack web
development on the Internet. Modern web development requires you to know a lot.
And Flavio provides that knowledge with enough depth to keep you going when the
bootcamp is over. The material is well-presented, easy to follow and actually
up-to-date. You will learn what is relevant now or, more importantly, what might
be essential tomorrow and not what was hot yesterday. There is so much to learn.
And it will require further studies on my own. But for the first time I have the
feeling that I can get somewhere with an online course, working confidently on
the front- and backend, equipped with the knowledge of an up-to-date tech stack.
Hence, if you want to become a full-stack JS developer I wholeheartedly
recommend this bootcamp!”


CHRISTIAN SCHLOBACH

“I love Flavio's courses, and reference books also, because they are very
different from other resources. It feels like you are doing some peer
programming with a more experienced colleague and friend who takes great care of
your understanding and rapid implementation of what is covered. It is also great
if you want to ramp up rapidly on ReactJS, and discover new things like Netlify,
MACH, and JAMstack. Thank you, Flavio for putting your learning materials
together.”


DOMINIQUE M.

“Flavio’s Boot Camp gave me the directions, resources and knowledge on how to
achieve a next level Web Development. The project based curriculum is the best
way to quickly put in practice the lessons and move them to your own projects.
It gives and explains all the foundations you need. And to go a step further,
you will always have an active discord community that grows around the boot
camp”


MIGUEL MVQDEV

“The Bootcamp 2022 was really amazing. After a brief introduction in javascript,
nextjs, react, tailwind, databases and Rest API we practiced building real
projects, also deployed in production. These projects were really exciting,
especially because they combine frontend and backend functionality. In
combination with an online database it is now possible for us to build great
projects ourselves. It is precisely this aspect that makes this course so
valuable for me. I’m very motivated to continue programming and improve my
skills! I am proud to be on this level now, thank you Flavio!”


JOHANNES LANGOSCH

“I look forward to registering for each new course by Flavio because of the
combination of clear instruction, international peers from a range of
backgrounds and experiences, flexible asynchronous content and assignments,
encouragement of constructive climate and the opportunity to participate in
Discord cohort interactions. I first encountered Flavio's instruction through an
assigned article in a class, which led me to his e-books. Flavio has an
impressive ability to provide concise explanations that are complete enough to
comprehensively introduce topics to beginners. His courses are a valuable
extension to his writing at https://thevalleyofcode.com/”


PATRICE, INFORMATION ARCHITECT

“Flavio's courses are simply fantastic!!! He breakdown all the concepts in small
bites that are easy to comprehend and digest. Included in his courses are short
videos, text and obviously the discord community that Flavio monitors daily and
will response to your question within hours. The classes are top quality at very
affordable prices. The entire curriculum is project based so I had the
opportunity to learn a concept put it in use right away create a project on the
cloud. I highly encourage folks to give the 5 star course a try.”


DEEPAK B

“I took Flavio’s bootcamp in 2021 while I was unemployed, and it is one of the
best things I’ve done for my career. While at the time I felt the content was a
little basic, in retrospect this is only because Flavio does such a great job of
breaking down concepts. I gained so much knowledge about web technologies I was
exposed to daily, but knew little about. Even things I did have some knowledge
about, like deployment, were enriched through the bootcamp—now I know about
other services I can use to deploy apps more quickly as well as knowledge about
how to utilize webhooks to continuously deploy to servers I set up. I still use
skills I learned from the bootcamp in my current job as a test automation
engineer and am often teaching the skills I learned to more junior members of
the team too. Thanks Flavio!”


ADAM

“At the time I was unemployed, and non-able to pay for a bootcamp. Thanks to
Flavio's financial help I could join a high quality bootcamp. By studying
seriously his bootcamp + free material, I was able to land a job as a fullstack
software developer. Flavio’s bootcamp contains the latest technology that gave a
huge advantage over other candidates. Flavio is a great programmer, great
teacher, but specially he has a golden heart”


CARLOS

““I had the pleasure of attending the "Flavio Copes JavaScript bootcamps"
educational programs in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and found them to be an incredibly
valuable learning experience. The program provided clear and concise instruction
on important aspects of coding and modern technology, and the practical examples
and hands-on projects allowed me to apply what I was learning in real-world
examples, which was incredibly valuable to my understanding and skill
development.. As a mature professional, the multi-week program was flexible and
allowed me to learn at my own pace, which was great for balancing my work and
life schedule. Clear step-by-step approach of the program, focused on important
aspects of coding and current tools and services, has made the learning process
manageable and enjoyable for me. The community aspect of the program was also a
major plus, as it provided a supportive and encouraging environment for learning
and growth. Overall, I would highly recommend the "JavaScript bootcamp" to
anyone looking to improve their skills and knowledge in the world of coding.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is this bootcamp for? Too many tutorials and little action? This bootcamp is
perfect for you. Web development looks complex to you? This bootcamp is perfect
for you. You're a frontend dev and you want to get more fullstack/backend
skills? This bootcamp is great for you. You're a backend dev and you want to get
more frontend skills? This bootcamp is great for you.
What's the difference with a $10 Udemy course? This is a different thing. It's a
cohort-based course. You will have access to a community chat of students that
started the course on the same day as you did. This means you have
accountability and motivation. Make friends with your fellow class mates to get
the most out of the bootcamp, and challenge each other! How many Udemy courses
did you buy but never followed through after the first couple lessons? There's
no way this bootcamp will end up like the dozens of courses you purchased but
never finished.
What's the effort required? It depends, but I estimate about 1 or 2 hours every
week day. Or do 3/4 hours on weekend days. If you do more, it's better because
the more time you study, the more things will "stick". But that's a start. It's
not super intensive, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
I want to know the schedule The bootcamp is not "live". You can adjust it around
your school/work/life schedule. I unlock a new module every week. The only thing
I ask is to stay on top of the weekly schedule, meaning I will release a new
module on Tuesday, complete it by next Tuesday when a new module will unlock.
Most students will follow the schedule and you'll find more activity and
community support, because everyone is doing those lessons along with you. This
is the best way to stay on top of the schedule and complete the bootcamp
successfully.
What's the format of the lessons? Every week to I will unlock multiple modules,
each containing various lessons. Lessons are text based. Text is better to
parse, to copy code snippets from, search and reference later.
Will I get a certificate at the end? Yes. Once you finish the course, you ask me
the certificate of attendance and I will issue that to you.
Do you have a refund policy? Yes. You have a no-questions-asked 100% refund if
you are not happy with the bootcamp and if you don't think you get value from
it, up to 14 days after the start of the Bootcamp. This is also for
subscriptions: no refunds after the first 2 weeks.
What kind of project will we create? We'll work on a very cool project
management SaaS app, complete with authentication, permissions, payments, and
more. It's a real-world project that will give you a lot of experience and will
be a great addition to your portfolio.
Will I have access to the course lesson at the end of the bootcamp? Yes, they
will be yours forever.
Can I follow the bootcamp at my own pace? Yes! I do unlock 1 new module every
week but there is no problem in going a bit slower. Some people have more time,
some less. There's no problem, although I see more success rates in students
that stay on top of the schedule.
What are the prerequisites? I assume some basic knowledge on how the web works,
HTML, CSS, some JavaScript basics. If you're not sure, you can ask me and I can
help you understand if you're ready for the bootcamp.
I joined the 2020/2021/2022/2023 cohort. Is this bootcamp different? Can I join
again? Compared to previous editions, in 2024 I have rewritten 100% of the
material. The bootcamp is a completely new course compared to past editions, so
if you want to learn the new material, you should join again. I will have a
discount for you since you joined the bootcamp in the past.
What time of day are the lessons? The bootcamp is not "live". We'll have
students from New Zealand, Nigeria, Brazil, United States, Norway, India.. all
over the world! So it's impossible to find hours that work for everyone.
Instead, the bootcamp is asynchronous. You pick the hours that best suit your
schedule, and you connect to the students Discord chat where you'll always find
people you can talk to, to discuss ideas or clarify some concepts together.
Is the training instructor led?  How does it work? I (Flavio Copes) built the
entire curriculum, lessons and projects. I will unlock access to a new lessons
module each week. It's not like in school where I'll have lectures. Instead, you
find the lessons on a web page and you go through each lesson on your own. The
content will be text based. The particular thing about the bootcamp cohort is
that you're studying privately, but you're not on your own. You'll have other
students you can talk to, ask questions, help each other. All of them are doing
the same things you're doing now. And I (the instructor) will be in the Discord
chat as much as possible to help everyone during the bootcamp, so that no one
gets left behind and we can all complete the course successfully.
