Part-time Curriculum
What You’ll Learn and Build In 38 Weeks
15470421723803-enrollment
Dive into the world of computer programming. Spend the first eight weeks learning how to write computer programs using JavaScript, then TypeScript. You’ll get a daily problem to solve that will keep you in a constant state of learning. You’ll also learn how to use tools that software engineers use.
- Visual Studio Code
- The terminal and the command line
- Git
- The computer file system
- Data structures and algorithms
It’s time to learn front-end development. During these eight weeks, you’ll build dynamic Web pages with all of your JavaScript and TypeScript knowledge. You’ll start by building static, styled HTML pages with CSS. Then, you’ll use your programming skills to make those pages interactive in response to a person’s actions, and integrate that with data from APIs.
- HTML
- CSS
- Modern front-end framework
- Browser technologies
- Asynchronous programming
- More data structures and algorithms
Adding databases and server-side technologies to your toolkit, you can now build full-stack applications. You’ll combine your programming knowledge and front-end experience with Next.js, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL to build dynamic, data-driven applications like the kind you use every day. You can create your own APIs to build whatever you can dream.
- Server-side component rendering
- Next.js
- MongoDB and document-oriented database design
- SQL, PostgreSQL, and relational database design
As you prepare to go live with your full-stack application, you’ll learn best practices to simplify and personalize your app. You’ll start using an object-relational mapping system to help reduce the effort to interact with your application’s database. Then, you’ll incorporate authentication and authorization to allow people to use social sites to log into your application. You’ll learn the ins and outs of Agile software development, then build your own personal project.
- Prisma ORM
- OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect
- Docker
- Continuous integration and delivery
- Agile software development with Scrum
You’ll start getting ready for your job search. Then, you’ll collaborate with your fellow programmers to emulate the day-to-day work of a software engineer and learn about project management, group dynamics and collaboration, product design, software architecture design, and production-level systems. You round out the last module with a final week of intense job search preparedness.
- 1:1 coaching sessions
- Mock interviews
- Portfolio and resume building
- Professional development workshops
- Networking exercises
- Access to a broad alumni network
