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 Curriculum 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.
