Seven weeks from now, your app is live. Not your certificate — your app.
Adults don't learn this by watching. You can study every game of the season and still never make a shot. Lectures make Monday-morning quarterbacks.
That's why this is built differently. No endless overviews — you build a real, deployed application with your own hands. You leave with working software, the story of building it, and the confidence to build the next one.
This is not a course you watch. It's a build you finish. Over seven weeks you take one real project through the full lifecycle: define it, scope it, estimate it, design it, build it, test it, and put it live in production. You'll do it on our stack — or bring your own variation — and you'll understand every decision because you made it.
What it is
A seven-week structured build track for people who have the fundamentals and want the full experience: a complete software development lifecycle, end to end, on a real project of your choosing. Full app or MVP — your scope, professionally estimated in week one, live in production by week seven. Coaching, reviews, and a blueprint to work against at every step.
$3,997 buys an actual app, not a paper certificate.
How the work actually runs
Your project's scope sets the calendar. The discipline is what we teach — the same one that finishes projects of any size.
Prepare
Get clear on the problem before touching a tool.
Plan
Set a target you intend to beat — on purpose.
Execute
Build in small pieces that work at every step.
Test
Prove it works before anyone else sees it.
Deploy
Ship it live, hand over the keys, tell the story.
You'll also leave with the two skills that keep projects from running over: knowing when to cut scope, and keeping contingency in the plan for what you can't predict yet. Good plans leave room on purpose. These are real skills — the same ones that finish big projects — not story time.
Who's teaching this
Actual veteran
US Air Force. The discipline came first; the software came after.
Industry veteran
28 years of enterprise delivery — over 60,000 hours of doing, not theorizing. There's not much he hasn't seen break, and not much he hasn't fixed. Same rigor, now for the neighbors we live with.
Solo founder
Runs eight platforms on the exact stack you'll learn. Your instructor is his own first customer — the struggle is the point, and he's still in it with you.
The Sunday Text
Day one, you can write down one phone number — a friend, a parent, anyone who has no idea what you're building. On the last Sunday evening, Dave texts that person:
"Hi — you don't know me, and I know it's Sunday. I'm Dave. I sat with [your name] off and on for a week while they built their web app here at bootcamp. Here's the link. Check it out."
It's optional. But building something is one thing — showing it to someone is where the fear lives. This is the moment you hop on the bike seat and pedal. Feedback is a gift, and the first one stings the least when it comes from a friend.
One more thing: the system that sends that text was built the same way you built your app that week. That's not a coincidence. That's the lesson.

Proof
"Our meetup members asked for a deeper track. This is it."
Eight platforms. One operator. The same stack we sell you.
Every tool on this site was built with the same process taught in this room. Browse them. Run one. That's the curriculum, already working.
The shipped-app gallery starts with our own apps: built by us, on the stack you'll learn.
The Bootcamp IS the 'we build it together' path.
