LevelUp Starter

Guided paths from "I know the language" to shipping production-grade systems. One real domain per material, no toy apps.

Every material is a sequenced roadmap, not a reference dump. Each step states why it comes where it does, what you should be able to explain afterwards, and how to verify you actually got it.

  • Spring Boot — Event Ticketing Marketplace

    Go from "I know Java, new to Spring" to a production-grade backend and fullstack app, built around one real domain: an event ticketing marketplace.

    Intermediate26 steps
    • Java 21
    • Spring Boot 3.5
    • PostgreSQL
    • React
    • AI-assisted
    Start learning
  • FastAPI — Grounded Support Assistant

    Go from "I know Python, new to FastAPI" to an AI feature you can prove works — grounded answers, real citations, refusal when the documents do not say, and an evaluation report to show for it.

    Intermediate18 steps
    • Python 3.13
    • FastAPI
    • PostgreSQL + pgvector
    • Claude API
    • Evaluation
    Start learning
  • Laravel — Off the Spreadsheet Back Office

    Go from "I can build a Laravel app" to the job small businesses actually hire for: moving a living business off its spreadsheets — discovery, messy import, entity resolution, reconciliation and cutover — without stopping it for a day.

    Intermediate16 steps
    • PHP 8.5
    • Laravel 13
    • Filament
    • PostgreSQL
    • Spreadsheet import
    Start learning
  • n8n — AI Operations Automation

    Go from "I can write code" to the work businesses pay a retainer for: AI steps inside a real daily process, with replay, human sign-off, a confidentiality answer a solicitor accepts, and a cost dashboard the client reads.

    Intermediate16 steps
    • n8n
    • TypeScript 5.9
    • PostgreSQL
    • Claude API
    • Self-hosted
    • Integration

Each material follows the same shape, so what you learn about how to work through one transfers to the next.

  • One real domain per material. The hard problems are load-bearing, not bolted on as demos.
  • Sequenced, not alphabetised. Every step exists because the previous one created the pain it solves.
  • LEARN and BUILD steps. Some things only survive being struggled with. Those steps tell your AI agent to stay a tutor and refuse to write the code.
  • Verifiable. Acceptance criteria and anti-pattern lists per step, so “done” is checkable rather than felt.
  • Agent-ready. Each material ships the harness files — AGENTS.md, a reviewer prompt, rubrics — so a coding agent is useful rather than merely plausible.
