    • Week 1-2Programming Basics

      To kickoff the program, you’ll learn habits, computer basics, and fundamental programming concepts and skills necessary to be successful in your bootcamp! During this section, students learn basic computer literacy skills, such as how to install and navigate basic programming tools. Students apply algorithmic thinking to make predictions of common programming skills, such as variables, arrays, conditionals, functions, and loops. Additionally, students experience the rigor and intensity of the bootcamp, strengthening their cognitive processing stamina, resiliency, and other behavioral skills necessary for a bootcamp. By the end of the module, students will walk away with the basic computer literacy, algorithmic foundations, and learning stamina needed to find success in a bootcamp.

Faqs

You've Got Questions We've Got Answers

  • What is a Full Stack?

    A Full Stack is made up of the front-end, the back-end, and the database. The front-end is what you see when you go onto the internet: the colors, the buttons, the content, etc. Each full stack uses different tools, frameworks, and technologies. So when we say we teach a "full-stack", we mean we will teach you the language as well as the associated front and back-end tools you'll need to create your own application start to finish.

  • Why 3 stacks vs 1? What are the benefits?

    We teach 3 stacks because we have found that very few companies use only one language, but also because learning to learn is an essential skill for a developer. Additionally, by learning 3 stacks you’ll feel confident to pick up and learn other new technologies and languages going forward.

  • Is it realistic to learn so many languages so fast?

    We've been around since 2012. Our curriculum is based on 10 years of learning science. Collectively, our team has taught over 13k+ students, and we have found that the 3 full stack model really helps our students stand out from the pack. As long as you put in the work, our instructors and student success team will be there to help.

  • Is this REALLY beginner-friendly?

    Yes! We don’t have a coding challenge or technical assessment to enroll because we know that we can teach you no matter where you begin. Our Programming Basics course was specifically designed to make sure all students are successful no matter where they’re starting from.

  • I work for myself and want to develop my own app? Do I need 3 full stacks?

    That totally depends on what type of app you are building! Some apps can be run on one full-stack, some can't. If you have a specific app in mind, your instructor can definitely help you create a plan to build it.

  • Do I have to decide on adding a second or third stack right now?

    Nope! You can choose to add on a new stack at any time during the program.

  • Do I have to start my second stack right away?

    Nope! You can take a pause for up to 8 weeks in between stacks.

  • Which stack should I do first?

    We highly recommend that students start with Python unless they have a strong conviction about learning Javascript or Java. Over the years, we’ve seen that Python is the best first stack to quickly ramp-up a beginner, because it tends to be easier to learn and is also just as effective as our other stacks in terms of teaching you software development. Python reads the most like english, which makes writing / reading the code much easier for beginners. Java is considered intermediate, so we recommend that as your second stack. Javascript is the most complicated, and would be pretty hard for a beginner to grasp.

  • What if I only want to take one stack? Will I still be able to get a job?

    There are plenty of roles out there for full-stack developers that choose to specialize in one language. However, if you choose to learn multiple stacks you might have a wider range of opportunities, and your portfolio might be more robust for interviews. In addition, you may find it easier to learn new technologies or languages down the line - a mission-critical skill for developers!

Thank you!
