No offense to the OP but the syllabus is ludicrous. This isn't teaching anything. It's so packed with random software technologies, they will leave the course with nothing. Cut down on the syllabus and focus on a few topics. Make it project based so that you're building on the same project over the 4 days and learning more about programming.

Split the other stuff like git, databases, OOP, functional programming, machine learning my God, for another course. There is no way anyone taking this course will get anything from this, it will just be a confusing mess of information that is quickly forgotten.

I read it assuming it was a semester long.

Then I saw it was four days.
