After our 12-week coding bootcamp, you'll be what you want to be: a software engineer, fully capable of tackling unique and unfamiliar problems and building complex applications on the job.

To help you land that job, we train you to have in-demand technical skills, clear communication skills, and the ability to work autonomously. Watch this short video to learn how.

We offer in-person coding bootcamps in Austin, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle.

If you're not located near one of these cities and/or don't want to relocate or commute to a campus, check out our live online full-time and part-time options.

What to expect from our coding bootcamp:

Real engineering work, right away

You'll work through hundreds of hours of problems designed to prepare you for success in technical interviews and in the workplace.

Real tools and practices to build job-ready skills

You'll gain the skills to plan, scope, build, and manage applications. You'll learn cutting-edge tech like React and ES6, along with Full Stack JavaScript and computer science fundamentals.

Real-world expectations to help launch your career

We'll challenge you to meet deadlines and requirements, build autonomy, communicate with precision, and collaborate effectively. Then we'll help you land the job you've worked so hard to prepare for.

What our grads have to say:

Ryan Perry on creating software to help developers debug code

Brian Price on finding creative fulfillment in software engineering

Projects software engineers need in their portfolios to get hired

Precourse

Prior to your start date, plan to spend about 90-120 hours on our Precourse curriculum. When you're done, you'll have a strong foundation in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and more, and you'll be ready for Day 1.

Jr. Phase

During weeks 1-5, you’ll learn Full Stack JavaScript and computer science fundamentals by working through realistic code. Your time will be spent on 2-day sprints, pair programming with classmates, and working through real industry problems.

Sr. Phase

During weeks 6-12, you’ll bring everything together, building complete applications and learning industry practice. You’ll create a capstone project for your portfolio, and in the end, you’ll be an autonomous engineer, capable of tackling unique problems.

Career Services and Job Search

At this stage, you’ll begin your job search, leaning on the many things you’ve learned from our Career Services team during your time in the bootcamp. We’ll be right by your side, helping you find, land, and negotiate terms for the job of your dreams.

Weekly breakdown:

Prior to your start date, you'll be required to complete the precourse curriculum remotely. This work takes 90-120 hours to complete and covers foundations in Javascript, HTML, CSS, and more.

You'll be immersed in learning the fundamental concepts and strategies considered best practices in the software engineering industry, including:

Basic and advanced data structures
Getting into the right mindset (thinking like an engineer)
Using JavaScript instantiation patterns

You'll learn full-stack JavaScript by working on realistic code bases. You will:

Master JavaScript essentials
Understand client and server-side concepts
Know database and deployment technologies

There are no scheduled lectures this week. You'll be able to get some rest and work on an individual project.

You'll work in teams to develop functional applications, using new technologies, and putting your bug-testing skills to the test. You'll learn how to:

Build an application from scratch
Use new languages and technologies
Learn about advanced team dynamics such as agile workflow and iterative development

During this final week, you’ll work with our Career Services team to prepare for your job search by engaging in practice interviews, learning negotiation tactics, and fine-tuning your resume and online presence.
