Do you want to build web applications for the next billion users? Commit to our 5-level, 15 months training and become a professional software developer.
At this level, you shall master the basics of computing and the internet. Here you will learn HTML, CSS, SCSS and more.
By the end of this level, you shall be able to build static UIs. In other words, you shall be able to clone YouTube and Facebook UIs for example.
At this level, this is where programming begins. You shall be able to write interactive programs that run on the web. Students at this level are able to build games like Soduco, Tic-Tac-Toe. They are also able to build fully functional calculators.
It’s true that in level 2, we shall learn JavaScript – there are strong reasons for that – but companies don’t hire software engineers to build applications with vanilla JavaScript. Companies need software developers who can build optimized applications using frameworks.
At this level, you shall master:
This level as the name implies is about databases. First, you shall be taught how to draw database systems or ER diagrams.
Then you shall dig deep to master Relational Databases (MySQL) and Non-Relational databases (MongoDB).
Here, you shall meet head-on with a solid backend framework: NodeJS. As a bonus, we shall also see Django (Python), and Laravel (PHP).
By the end of this program, you shall be able to build web APIs like blog APIs, payment APIs, weather APIs…
Upon completion of all 5 levels, you shall be able to join our incubation center – Common Factor where you shall have the opportunity to practice what you have just learned side by side with experienced engineers working on applications like EneoPay.
Seven Dev Community is open to all. Here, you shall have the opportunity to get mentored or mentor someone passionate about software development.
Regularly, the community organizes All-Night-of-Code – a program aimed at bringing together software developers under one roof for a night to solve particular challenges.
There’s a dire shortage of skilled tech talent and Web Developers are among the most in-demand tech specialists, especially given the increasing need for companies to improve their mobile offerings.
More than 80 percent of American Web Developers are employed full-time, with another 10 percent working on a freelance basis or part-time according to Stack Overflow.
That number isn’t expected to decrease, since virtually every company you could think of in every industry you could think of hires Web Developers. That explains in part why so many potential job changers are learning web development.
With high demand comes high average salaries for Web Developers. Web Developers make anywhere between $78,000 (Indeed) and $88,000 (Glassdoor) a year, with an easy pathway to more senior positions. According to Indeed, Senior Web Developers made an average salary of $103,069.
This is the first position you can snatch after you finish your programming studies. Basic requirements at this point include the ability to write relatively simple code, to understand the development cycle of an application, and to understand how databases and application services work. Juniors aren’t expected to work just on their own, but they need to know when to ask for help from seniors.
The next step after a junior software developer position is to start working as a full-fledged software developer. At this point, you should have extensive domain knowledge and could already have gathered some years of experience. You’re able to write complex programs and should have some routine in application and software creation.
If you love programming and are not that interested in becoming a manager, you could stay a software developer for a longer period of time, stepping up the ladder and taking a senior position. Seniors normally advise and supervise juniors in teams, make professional decisions about development, and communicate more with stakeholders.
The position of a lead developer or technical architect is perfect for people who want more responsibility and more challenges but are not interested in managing a team. These are specialized senior developer roles who can coordinate and implement decisions, while still writing code. Lead developers are usually the most senior developers, leading the development process the team is working on. Architects are more concerned with designing and developing complex systems that will be implemented by other developers.
These mid-level management roles are responsible for maintaining workflow and productivity and are directly subordinated to a senior leader or manager. They coordinate the needs of the application or project with those of the development team with good communication and conflict mediation skills.
Senior managers supervise the work of other managers and can be involved in developing and overseeing the implementation of the IT strategy. They have long-term goals and are responsible for the work of entire departments.
1. High demand
Software developers are in high demand. Practically every industry needs its own type of software and people who can create it to their specifications. As the world becomes increasingly digital and operated online, the need for software developers is likely to rise even further. If you’re looking for a career that has a good long-term outlook, software development is an appealing option.
2. Career options
When you become a software developer, there are many career options available to you. For instance, you can decide to work either as an independent contractor or within a larger company. Having this option allows you to choose a work environment and lifestyle that fits your requirements.
You also have the ability to work in a wide range of industries, and there’s typically room for advancement within software development. After starting as an entry-level programmer, software developers can advance into senior programming positions. Programmers can often then move into management positions where they oversee the development process rather than spending their time coding.
3. Remote work
The ability to work from home is increasingly important to job candidates. Since almost all of their work is done on a computer, software developers are often able to work remotely from home.
However, as long as a software developer is able to communicate with their team, they can often work from other locations like shared workspaces, hotels or coffee shops. This flexibility can make software development a good career option for people who like to travel a lot.
4. Travel
Besides the ability to work away from the office, many software developers have to travel as a part of their job. Conferences are often an integral part of software development, where major companies like to promote their newest innovations and products.
As a software developer, your company may pay for you to attend these conferences all over the country so that you can learn more and network with others.
Salary is a compelling reason why people become software developers, with salaries averaging above $100,000 a year. This salary can increase if you develop your own software and develop a credible reputation within your industry.

6. Working collaboratively and individually
Working as a software developer can give you the opportunity to work on a team and on your own. When building software, the overall project is often broken down into smaller components, with developers taking on individual tasks.
This means that software developers can spend time working on their own, then get together with a team to discuss how their part fits into the overall project. Whether you like to work on your own or with others, you’ll find time to do both as a software developer.
7. Always learning
An important part of being a software developer is continuing your education. There are always new tools to acquire and better ways of developing software. Software developers need to spend a considerable amount of time keeping up to date with the latest news and developments in their industry so that they can create the best possible products.
If you’re someone who likes to learn new things, software development can be a rewarding field. You’ll learn new programming languages, new ways to use old languages and new tools to make development easier. In addition, you’ll be able to learn new things about the industry you are working in.
8. Problem-solving
If you like to solve difficult problems, then software development is a promising career to consider. For example, software developers may try to figure out how a piece of software can perform a certain action for a client or how to write their code in a more efficient way. Developing challenges you to think in different ways and to come up with creative solutions to your employer or client’s problems.
9. Creative outlet
Software development can be a significant creative outlet. In this role, you can create practically any type of software product you want on a computer. You will also have to find creative ways to solve problems through coding. While you’ll spend a lot of time writing technical code, there is still a lot of creativity involved, especially if you get to work on your own projects.
