Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology most famous for its use in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The technology is revolutionizing the web and has the potential to disrupt countless industries including e-commerce, banking, security, supply chain, healthcare, publishing and more.
Students have the option to deep-dive into programming with Blockchain, a rapidly growing skill. Through an optional self-paced module within the immersive, you'll learn core concepts including hashing and transaction processing using Hyperledger (a project supported by IBM, Intel, JP Morgan, Cisco, etc) and build your own Blockchain application.
We constantly improve our curriculum based on new trends, changing needs of the tech industry, and feedback from our students and alumni.
Our remote coding bootcamp curriculum includes live pair programming to get you as close to a working environment as possible.
We believe that excellence comes from relentless improvement. We evaluate each part of our software engineering curriculum every time it is taught.
During the second half of the course, students use their skills to design and build fully functional apps from scratch. The schedule during this period is more open-ended, but equally intense.
At HackReactor, you gain more than an education; you develop a network. In addition to working and learning alongside some of the best and brightest minds in the tech industry, you join a network of over 8,000 alumni.
You'll kick off the day with AM Announcements and then, most days, work on thoughtfully crafted Toy Problems.
Depending on the day you will be watching lectures and working with your pair on the most recently assigned Sprint.
Enjoy lunch with your classmates.
Enjoy scheduled exercise time or just take a break.
As in the morning, we'll introduce new concepts by beginning a new project together on the projector, and send you out to work on it with your pair.
Decompress and let concepts solidify over a meal.
Gather with your entire class for an evening lecture.
Hack away with your partner on the assignment for the current 2-day Sprint. These assignments dive into JavaScript technologies and CS fundamentals.

Prior industry or academic experience is not required, but most successful applicants have been introduced to programming by writing some code independently, or by working through courses on e-learning platforms such as CodeSchool or Codecademy. Hack Reactor is not a "0–60" course, this is a "20–120" course. If you haven't written any code yet, see below for recommended resources. If you study from those resources for a few hours a day, you should be able to complete the admissions challenge within two weeks. Read more here about how to prepare for the admissions challenge.
Beyond having some coding experience, successful applicants are passionate, intelligent learners and clear, empathic communicators.
Students using Windows machines experience many more struggles than students on Unix-based machines (e.g., macOS and Linux). Although it is possible to complete the course on Windows, we have seen that overcoming the Windows-only challenges wastes a lot of time that could otherwise be spent improving your engineering skills.
We require all students to use a Unix-based platform (like macOS or Linux). Two solutions are available for students who have a Windows based machine:
Option 1:
Run a VM (virtual machine) with Ubuntu. To do this, we require that your computer meet the following minimum specs to ensure the stability of the VM, minimize lag, etc.
6GB of RAM
20GB of drive space free
2-core 4-thread processor
2GHz processor speed
Option 2:
Run a dual-boot system. This is a great option if your computer doesn't meet the specs required for Option #1. This means you have the option of booting your computer into Windows or Ubuntu (but not both at the same time) every time you turn it on. This option has been well-tested but requires a more involved setup.
In general, unless your Windows laptop is extremely old, it should be able to support one of the solutions above. Additional information explaining how to set up Option #1 or Option #2 is provided to admitted students prior to the beginning of the course. Please note that the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10 is not sufficient for our course.
There isn't a "typical" Hack Reactor applicant - our students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some hold a CS degree and want to get web dev specific training before applying to jobs, some come from adjacent fields such as design or IT and have tangentially worked with coding, and many come from unrelated fields, looking to gain a complete skill set and begin a career in engineering.
Many of our students have started in a similar place, and used online resources & local meetups to learn JavaScript to the level we expect. More than any particular skill-set, the key to leveling up is perseverance and a drive to grapple with new challenges. Read here to learn how to get started, or follow the links below to check out some of our network’s prep courses.
We encourage you to submit an application to start the admissions process. Preparation materials for the admissions challenge can be found here.
You will also be asked to indicate your preferred campus, so please assess our locations to determine which is right for you.
To get you as close to a working environment as possible, a large portion of our curriculum includes pair programming. This means you'll collaborate via a tool called Floobits with another student on projects - emulating real-time teamwork. You'll double check one another’s work to reduce coding errors, and learn the team skills needed to thrive in a professional working environment.
The Remote Part-Time course is Hack Reactor's off-hours version of its Remote Immersive program. Classes are held on nights and weekends over nine months, making the curriculum feasible to those with daytime responsibilities. It’s slower pace is also a good option for people who simply want more time to absorb and utilize the information.
