SYLLABUS

Beginner Full-Time Coding

Bootcamp:
Software Engineering with
JavaScript & Python
A challenging, exciting, and life-changing
learning experience.
This program will take you from beginner
to job-ready in 19 weeks using a modern,
module-based curriculum focused on
putting new skills and knowledge into
practice right away. You’ll become a full-
stack software engineer, writing your
own applications and using AI-powered
productivity tools.
Among many topics, tools, and languages,
you’ll learn JavaScript and Python , two
of the most in-demand programming
languages by companies and professional
developers. You’ll work hard, and along
the way, you’ll be supported by our team
of experienced professionals.

How You’ll Learn

To help you build durable knowledge,
we incorporate leading instructional
models, including the learn/practice cycle. Learning something and putting it into practice creates
mental models that stick. Each module culminates in a project so you can build an impressive portfolio
to show future employers.
When You’ll Learn
This bootcamp is immersive. Plan on spending 40-55 hours per week in class and working on
your own time. Class runs from 9am - 5pm Monday through Thursday, plus 10 pre-scheduled
Fridays from 9am - 5pm.

You can use your Fridays off to rest, restore, and reflect, which are powerful metacognitive
tools for learning.

What You’ll Learn

MODULE 1 & PROJECT [WEEKS 1-6]:

Dive into the world of a full-stack software engineer. These subjects represent the core
knowledge and skills that are used in nearly every software engineering job.
• Turn software requirements into a running application with Python and Django
• Write HTML and CSS to build working and interactive web applications
• Use a relational database to store and retrieve data for an application
• Use Visual Studio Code (VSCode), Bash or PowerShell, and Git to create high-quality code
and projects
Project: Build your first full-stack web app
Your first project uses everything you’ve learned thus far to build a meaningful full-stack web
application. You’ll design the database, write the server code to create the responses to drive
the application experience, and author the client code to render an attractive, intuitive, and
responsive web application interface.

MODULE 2 & PROJECT [WEEKS 7-12]:

Building on the first module, you’ll explore how to build even more complex web applications
using modern software architectural methods.
• Use Domain Driven Design to model and design large software applications
• Build scalable and fault-tolerant applications using messaging middleware
• Apply the latest design and technical principles to create microservices
• Create stand-alone web application front-ends using JavaScript and React
Project: Developing software in a collaborative environment
Your second project models how you’ll work in a real-world software development team, utilizing
the power of independent development in a collaborative environment. You and your team will use
Agile software development practices to individually build microservices that seamlessly work
together to create a robust and scalable web application.

MODULE 3 & PROJECT [WEEKS 13-18]:

Combine what you’ve learned so far with new skills to manage large amounts of data. Then
learn development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) to harness the power of the cloud.
• Build near-real-time applications that automatically update all User Interfaces (UIs) with
WebSockets and FastAPI
• Learn how to effectively use the AI-powered tool GitHub Copilot
• Write algorithms that work with different shapes of data
• Use different types of persistent data stores for different kinds of data with MongoDB
• Plan, create, and monitor a continuous integration and delivery pipeline with GitLab Pipelines

Project: Build a durable, responsive web app using a cloud platform

From a provided set of requirements, you’ll build your own personal project. You’ll emulate
the day-to-day work of an individual contributor on a software development team, learning
about the software development life cycle, good version control management, and
production-level systems.

• Mock interviews
• Portfolio and resume building
• Professional development workshops
• Networking exercises
Upon graduation, you’ll have access to our 14,000+ alumni network and alumni benefits. You’ll
continue working with your CSM for 180 days or until you land your first software
engineering job. Your CSM will help you through the job search process, including guidance
and support through challenges, and helping you negotiate salary upon receiving an offer.
