At Code Your Future, we expect everyone to graduate with a unique professional portfolio. You will begin building this portfolio as soon as you begin our Software Development Course. At first, your portfolio will be a simple HTML/CSS page deployed to Github Pages or Netlify. This is your MVP.
Every module, you will iterate on your portfolio, adding a new project and improving your design and presentation. By the time you apply to The Launch, your portfolio will help you show you are ready to be accepted on to a development team.
