Course Overview

What You Will Learn

Over the course of 12 weeks, you will learn how to build, test, and depoly software applications using JavaScript on the client (front-end) and server-side (back-end) of an application. Starting with fundamentals, you will quickly move into more complex programming concepts that are solidifed through challenges, such as: pair programming, weekly projects, lab exercises, and code reviews.

The projects that you create throughout the bootcamp will be used to build your portfolio, which will serve as a showcase of your work and be a valuable asset in your post-bootcamp job hunt. You will also receive time with a professional career mentor through one-on-one coaching sessions and bi-weekly workshops.

In the final four weeks of your bootcamp, you will work with a client and your classmates on a team to develop a real product. This is what we call your "capstone project". At the end of the bootcamp, you will demonstrate your capstone project to an audience of hiring partners and tech community members at our Demo Day.

Why Learn JavaScript?

JavaScript is the most widely used programming language in the world. Along with HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of only three native languages of the web - all of which will be used in this bootcamp. Companies, big and small, including Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Netflix, use JavaScript to power pieces of their web applications. This is because JavaScript is the only scripting language that can be used on servers and browsers (back-end + front-end). Finally, including JavaScript on your resume provides growth opportunities in your career as it continues to find its way into more and more domains.
