19. FRONT-END LEAD
ALI TAMER

20. What is Front-end web development?
It’s basically developing the website’s side that’s being shown to the user, providing the user
experience that makes the website interactive with the user

21. JS

24. BACK-END CO-LEAD
AHMED SAMER

25. Backend
The security guard represents the Backend — he checks the
visitor’s identity, verifies information, and decides who can enter
The employee represents the Backend — he receives the
user’s information and processes it carefully.

The papers and records represent the Database — where
all the information is stored and organized.
The visitor represents the Frontend (user) — he tries
to enter again using his membership card.
The security guard represents the Backend — he
checks the card against the stored records.

26. Backend
saves and manage data

27. Data Lifecycle: From Client to Server
Client (Frontend – user interacts with the app) → Request (data sent via HTTP) → Server (Backend/API –
receives and processes) →Business Logic (validates data and applies rules) →Database (stores or retrieves
information) →Response (server sends back result as JSON/message) →Client (displays final result to the user)
Request

Backend

28. Different Interfaces but One Backend & One Database
# A single backend and database can
serve multiple interfaces such as web,
mobile, and desktop.
Each interface has a different design
and user experience,

# but they all connect to the same
backend logic and shared database
through APIs.

mobile Desktop
Website
Backend

29. When a user buys a product on Amazon, the order appears
correctly on the website but doesn’t show up in the mobile app.

Based on the backend data lifecycle, which part of the system is
most likely causing this issue?

A) Frontend (Mobile App Interface)
B) Request (HTTP Communication)
C) API Connection on Mobile Interface System
D) Database (Data Storage)
Backend

30. Backend development : focuses on how systems work behind the scenes — how data
is stored, processed, and shared between users and applications.
To start learning backend, follow this general path:
1⃣ Understand how the web works (client–server model, HTTP, APIs).
2⃣ Learn programming logic (any backend language: C#, Python, Java, Node.js, etc.).
3⃣ Work with databases (SQL and NoSQL basics).
4⃣ Practice building APIs that connect frontend and backend.
5⃣ Learn authentication, security, and deployment.

Getting Started with Backend Development

Be patient — coding
isn’t learned in a
day, but every day
brings you closer.

31. FLUTTER LEAD
YOUSSEF MOHAMED

32. What is Flutter?
Flutter is a framework by Google for
building apps.

You can create one app that works on
Android, iOS, Web, and Desktop.

It’s fast to build with Hot Reload and
beautiful thanks to widgets.

Uses the Dart language — simple, powerful,
and easy to learn.

33. What makes Flutter stand out?
Beautiful and smooth UI.

Near-native performance.

Huge community + strong Google
support.

Open-source and free to use.

One codebase for multiple platforms.

34. Flutter in the Real World
Used by top companies like
Google, eBay, Alibaba, ByteDance, BMW.

High demand in the job market — saves time and
money for companies.

Perfect for freelancers and startup projects.

The future is cross-platform, and Flutter is
leading it.

36. AI LEAD
AMR SAID

37. What Is a Self-Driving Car
A self-driving car is a vehicle that can see, understand, and act just like a human driver.
It uses AI to make real-time driving decisions based on its surroundings.
Main components:
1.Sensors & Cameras – to “see” the environment.
2.AI & Machine Learning – to “think” and make decisions.
3.Control System – to “act” (steering, acceleration, braking)

38. How Does the Car See the Road
The car uses different sensors that work together:
●LIDAR – shoots lasers to measure distances and build a 3D map.
●Radar – detects objects and other vehicles.
●Cameras – read traffic signs, lanes, and pedestrians.
●Ultrasonic sensors – Help with detecting objects in close proximity,
such as during parking.
●Processing – On-board computers take the data from all sensors and
use complex algorithms, including deep learning and neural networks, to
process the information.
●Decision-makin – The system analyzes the situation, predicts how
other objects will move, and makes decisions about how to proceed,
such as braking, accelerating, or steering.
●Navigation – A GPS and an inertial navigation system help the car
determine its location and plan a route to the destination.

40. CYBER SECURITY LEAD
AHMED SAMY

41. What Is Cybersecurity? — The Big Picture for Testers
●Definition: Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, damage, or
unauthorized access.

●Goal: Ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

●Where testers fit: Penetration testers (ethical hackers) simulate real attacks to discover weaknesses before adversaries
do.

●Core focus areas for testers:

○Network & perimeter testing

○Application / API testing

○Cloud & configuration review

○Social engineering & human factors

○Incident simulation and exploit validation

42. What Makes Cybersecurity Stand Out — Why Pentesters Matter
●Constantly evolving threat landscape: Attack techniques change daily — testers must learn and adapt.

●Offense reveals defense: Penetration testing shows how attackers can succeed, so defenders can fix root
causes.

●Cross-disciplinary skillset: Combines networking, programming, OS internals, social engineering, and
communication.

●High impact & measurable value: A single validated exploit in a pentest can lead to priority fixes and major
risk reduction.

●Career & demand: Strong global demand for offensive security skills (red teamers, application pentesters,
bug bounty hunters).

43. Cybersecurity in the Real World — Where Testers Make a Difference
●Finance: Find weak authentication and transaction flaws before fraud occurs.

●Healthcare: Test access controls and data leakage in medical systems.

●Critical infrastructure & government: Validate network segmentation and remote-access controls to reduce
systemic risk.

●SMBs & start-ups: Identify exposure from misconfiguration, default credentials, or open services.

●Everyday users: Tests lead to safer apps and more secure features for customers.

Real-world takeaway: High-profile incidents expose gaps — pentesting is a practical, cost-effective way to reduce that
risk by identifying and proving fixes before attackers do.
