This page describes the We Ignite Tech program.
There are three milestones or modules to this program. Each module has at least one topic, but often several topics. Each topic contains at least a README.md file (see the README-Im-a-topic.md)
The ideal duration for a topic is three hours (a working session). Some complicated topics can be covered over multiple sessions. Some might be shorter than that.
A topic will often include some practical exercises that can to be downloaded or cloned as an independant Git repository by the students.
For example: the topic dev-environment is described here as a sub-folder of fundamentals-of-programming But the files and exercices needed for the class and/or homework are accessible in another repository with the same name dev-environment. This other repository can be downloaded, cloned or forked by the students.
By having all practicalities or exercises of a given topic in a separated repository we make it possible for the students to only clone the exercises they need for a particular topic.
Mastering web development in a professional context requires good tools and techniques. The students will first get familiar with their toolbox (a set of applications needed for software development). They will then have to learn the fundamentals of the JavaScript programming language.

Dev environment and Git
The dev environment is a Linux desktop distribution
As a growing full stack developer each student will have to know enough JavaScript so they can start building applications both in the browser and on the server. Students will also learn of web applications' architecture and the web as a platform besides their programming skills.
The aim of this program is too help newcomers with a technical IT background to get closer to the norwegian employment market. During the 16 weeks of the program the students will improve both their soft- and technical skills on topics like programming, testing, security as well as team work, working in Norway and software delivery prosesses. By completing this program our students will get closer to potential job positions as full stack developers in the norwegian market.
The program is articulated around three milestones: Fundamentals of programming, Web development and Software delivery. This progression reflects the journey of tech person from understanding what it is to write code to being a full stack developer.
