You can open a terminal and edit a file
You do not have to be a professional developer. You do have to be comfortable at a command line and able to change a line of code when you are told which one.
Who it's for
Read this before you book
This evening suits some people very well and others not at all. Below is the honest split, in both directions. If you recognise yourself in the second list, wait for the next one - we would rather lose the seat than take money for an evening you will spend lost.
Most first SaaS attempts
never ship
120 minutes
start to deployed
A real ₹1 payment
through your own gateway
A live public URL
you can send to anyone
Certificate + recording
for every registrant
100% back
if you attend and do not get there
One seat
one person, one deployed app
Sunday 1 November 2026
7:00 - 9:00 PM IST
All four, not three of four
Four conditions. Miss one and the evening gets hard.
You have built something small before, even badly
A half-finished side project, a tutorial you actually typed out, one script that does one thing. Rough counts. It is the muscle memory we build on, not the quality.
You want a deployed product, not another tutorial
What you leave with is a public URL you can send to someone and a working payment link - not notes, not a repository you will finish later.
You can give it two uninterrupted hours
7:00 - 9:00 PM IST, at a keyboard, with the door shut. The build runs continuously; there is no catching up at 8:30.
If that is you, the two hours will feel short. You will be behind at some point - everyone is - and you will still finish, because every block has a checkpoint and nobody moves on alone.
Any one of these, and this is not your session
You have never written any code at all
This session will move too fast - and we would rather tell you now, while you can still cancel within 24 hours for an 80% refund, than have you find out on the night.
You cannot be at a keyboard for the whole two hours
The recording and your certificate come to you either way, but you will not finish on the night - and the guarantee only covers people who attend.
You want someone to build it for you
Nobody builds it for you. We build alongside you and your hands stay on the keyboard the whole time. If you want it built for you, that is a different conversation.
Why we say it out loud
A refund plus a bad evening costs us more than a seat we never sold. So if one of those three is true today, do not book - come to the next one, and come ready.

Seven things, all free, all installed before 7:00
-
Laptop
Any machine you can install software on.
-
Terminal
The one your OS ships with is fine.
-
Code editor
VS Code is fine. So is whatever you already use.
-
Node.js 20+
Version 20 or newer. Older will fail on the night.
-
Git
Installed and on your PATH.
-
Razorpay account
Free, in test mode. No real money moves during the build.
-
Stable internet
You are deploying live. A dropout costs you minutes.
The prep email
The exact list, with install links, is emailed to every registrant three days before Sunday 1 November 2026 - and again the day before. You do not have to work any of it out from this page.
If it still is not working
The first ten minutes are a setup check. If your machine is not ready at the 7:00 PM check, we fix it with you before we start. Nobody gets left on a broken install while the rest of the room builds.
All three. No exceptions, no asterisk
The prep email has the setup steps for each.
Windows
10 or 11
macOS
Intel or Apple silicon
Linux
Any current distribution
If you are unsure, you are probably ready
Almost nobody who can open a terminal and has built one rough thing before fails to finish. The people who struggle are the two we named above: a first-ever line of code, or two hours that were never really free. Neither is a judgement - both are just the wrong night.
And if you do attend and do not finish with a live SaaS URL and a working payment link by 9 PM, you get 100% back, no questions asked. Every registrant gets the recording and a certificate of completion either way - attended or not. We do not promise a job, a placement or an income, and the certificate records that you took part rather than an accredited qualification.
