C# .NET Full-Stack Bootcamp 2024: Two proof-of-concept ideas in one month
Challenge
In December 2024, NetLS started an annual C# .NET Full-Stack internship. The course was aimed at young tech talents who wanted to learn the best development practices and pursue a career in web development.
Thanks to regular participation in IT motivational programs and giving lectures in educational institutions, we established a strong HR brand positioning in Ivano-Frankivsk.
Despite not launching a promotional campaign, our esteemed reputation allowed us to receive hundreds of applications from eager candidates with a relevant educational background and notable analytical and critical thinking skills. Hence, we began selecting students from a pool of strong candidates from engineering and mathematics institutes and winners of physics and math olympiads, and selected the best ones for the internship. In fact, this is our second time having such an experience.

Solution
The training course offered a four-month free internship. The students gained theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in developing pet projects under expert mentorship and the opportunity for future employment at the company. After the lecture series and practical sessions, the testing system revealed that each student scored approximately 94% out of 100% in the theoretical knowledge section. By the end of the course, they successfully created two proof-of-concept models within just a month of teamwork.
The training program covered the following topics: the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, back end (C#), MS SQL, front end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Bootstrap, Angular, SCSS), and cloud services (Azure functions, SharePoint, Power BI).

Results
Map Project: A website-based concept validation for assessing the demand in the utility services market
The first project served as a starting point for testing user interest and exploring potential demand in the utility services market. It focused on creating a mapping solution supporting two languages – Ukrainian and English.
PreETL Project: Startup concept validation of data reporting system for European market demand
Many companies face the challenge of analyzing vast amounts of data. So, in the second project, the team had to provide a solution for this very problem. The project’s technical specifications included developing a platform for managing chats that enables users to create multiple unique chats on a single phone number.
This project has the potential to be used in the exact form as a startup. Also, as it was designed with a modular structure, it has a minimum amount of dependencies and, as a result, any part of this project can be easily replaced with another module. For instance, the source of data can be replaced with other messengers. This project can be reused by any company that wants to parse and analyze large volumes of data.
