class=\"nit-pg-faq\">\n        <details><summary>Which school is best for Full-Stack Software Development in Kenya?<\/summary><div><p>Newton Institute of Technology provides a strong option for learners looking for practical Full-Stack training built around complete applications, project work, testing, deployment and industrial attachment. NIT&#8217;s institutional programme runs for 8 months and is followed by a compulsory attachment of at least 3 months. <sup><a href=\"#ref-1\" aria-label=\"Reference 1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> Inspect the student&#8217;s application, source code, database, API flow, Git history, tests, deployment and individual contribution.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary>How can I tell whether Full-Stack training is genuinely practical?<\/summary><div><p>Open a student application and ask the learner to trace one feature from the interface through the server to the database. Then inspect their source code, Git history, database work, API flow, testing, deployment and individual contribution. Practical training produces work the student can demonstrate and explain.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary>What should a Full-Stack student be able to demonstrate?<\/summary><div><p>A learner should be able to open a working application, explain how a feature moves from the interface through the server to the database, identify their own code, demonstrate testing and show how the application was deployed. NIT&#8217;s Full-Stack pathway is structured around complete applications, project work and the ability to explain and improve software. <sup><a href=\"#ref-2\" aria-label=\"Reference 2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Should Full-Stack students use Git and GitHub?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Version control supports project history, collaboration, structured changes and recovery of earlier work. MDN identifies version control as an essential part of modern development workflows. <sup><a href=\"#ref-5\" aria-label=\"Reference 5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup> Git and GitHub are included in NIT&#8217;s Full-Stack programme. <sup><a href=\"#ref-1\" aria-label=\"Reference 1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/div><\/details>\n        <details><summary>Should Full-Stack students deploy applications?<\/summary><div><p>Yes. Deployment takes a project from local development into an environment where users can access it. It introduces practical work involving hosting, application configuration and production behaviour. <sup><a href=\"#ref-8\" aria-label=\"Reference 8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup> Deployment forms part of NIT&#8217;s current Full-Stack training. <sup><a href=\"#ref-1\" aria-label=\"Reference 1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/div><\/details>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"nit-pg-section\" id=\"related-guides\" aria-labelledby=\"related-guides-heading\">\n      <p class=\"nit-pg-eyebrow\">Continue with the right guide<\/p>\n      <h2 id=\"related-guides-heading\">Related Newton Institute of Technology guides<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"nit-cm-course-grid\">\n        <article class=\"nit-cm-course nit-cm-course--technical\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__top\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&lt;\/&gt;<\/div><h3>Full-Stack Software Development Course<\/h3><\/div><p>Use the dedicated programme page for the detailed curriculum, current fee, admissions and course structure.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/niteducation.com\/resources\/full-stack-software-development-course\/\">Open the Full-Stack course guide<\/a><\/p><\/article>\n        <article class=\"nit-cm-course nit-cm-course--business\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__top\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2197<\/div><h3>Where to Study Software Development<\/h3><\/div><p>Compare university, college, practical and online software-development study routes in Kenya.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/niteducation.com\/resources\/where-to-study-software-development-kenya\/\">Compare study routes<\/a><\/p><\/article>\n        <article class=\"nit-cm-course nit-cm-course--creative\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__top\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u21c4<\/div><h3>Front-End vs Back-End vs Full-Stack<\/h3><\/div><p>Use this guide if you are still choosing the development specialisation that fits the work you want to learn.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/niteducation.com\/resources\/front-end-vs-back-end-vs-full-stack-in-kenya\/\">Compare development paths<\/a><\/p><\/article>\n        <article class=\"nit-cm-course nit-cm-course--workshop\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__top\"><div class=\"nit-cm-course__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2713<\/div><h3>How to Become a Software Developer<\/h3><\/div><p>Follow the broader software-development learning and career pathway in Kenya.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/niteducation.com\/resources\/how-to-become-a-software-developer-in-kenya\/\">Open the software-developer roadmap<\/a><\/p><\/article>\n      <\/div>\n      <p>For employment intent, Article 175 remains the dedicated NIT resource for <a href=\"https:\/\/niteducation.com\/resources\/jobs-after-full-stack-software-development-kenya\/\">Full-Stack developer jobs in Kenya<\/a>.<\/p>\n    <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"nit-pg-section\" id=\"references\" aria-labelledby=\"references-heading\">\n      <p class=\"nit-pg-eyebrow\">References and sources<\/p>\n      <h2 id=\"references-heading\">Sources used in this guide<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"nit-pg-sources\">\n        <p id=\"ref-1\"><strong>1.
