Metana - Coding Bootcamp

Start by opening your editor—Metana meets you with a project, not a lecture. After enrollment, you pick a track, lock your weekly time blocks, and receive a sprint plan with milestones, rubrics, and a mentor roster. Day one covers environment setup with templates, seed repos, and a test harness so you can run code and see results fast. Each week follows a simple loop: build, test, submit, review, iterate. You push to GitHub, request review, and join a live session to unblock challenges. Quizzes verify fundamentals while labs prove you can apply them. By Friday you demo progress, get concrete feedback, and plan the next sprint.

Moving from web2 to on-chain? In the Solidity path you configure Hardhat or Foundry, write interfaces, and code tokens, NFTs, and access-control patterns. You practice TDD with unit, fuzz, and invariant tests, then profile gas and refactor for efficiency. You wire oracles, sign messages, and integrate wallets on a minimal frontend. A mid-course milestone ships a complete dApp to a testnet with CI/CD and automated checks. You learn common failure modes, run static analysis, and rehearse reviews that mimic audit steps. The capstone is a production-style protocol with documentation, threat model, and a deployment playbook you can show to hiring managers.

Prefer data work? The analytics and data science tracks move from raw CSVs and APIs to clean, explainable outcomes. You write SQL to model datasets, validate with tests, and schedule ELT jobs. In notebooks you explore features, choose metrics, and compare baselines; then convert experiments into reproducible pipelines with MLflow. You visualize results in dashboards, publish insights, and defend tradeoffs in brief write-ups. AI/ML modules cover training, evaluation, and model serving, plus prompt design and retrieval for LLM-enabled features. Every artifact—queries, notebooks, metrics, and decks—lands in a portfolio repo.

Building products end-to-end? In full‑stack you plan a backlog, scaffold a service, and deliver vertical slices: database schema, API, UI, tests, and observability. You use TypeScript, React or Next.js, Node, and Docker, add auth, and push through CI to a cloud instance. The security path puts you in the defender’s seat: threat modeling, OWASP labs, log analysis, SIEM queries, and incident simulations with postmortems. Throughout the program you get resume and LinkedIn reviews, GitHub cleanup, project storytelling, and mock interviews for systems, algorithms, and take‑home assignments. The final week concentrates on applications, recruiter outreach, and practicing the exact workflows you’ll repeat on the job.
