We designed our Full Stack Web Development Curriculum to give students the necessary expertise in both back-end and front-end programming technologies to become full-stack developers. It's a more extensive course of study than the average school offers – but then we expect more of our students.
Curriculum:
Module 1: Programming Fundamentals
After diving into the fundamentals of programming, students get comfortable with object-oriented programming and storing databases using SQL and Object Relational Mappers.
Module 2: Web Frameworks
Students learn two key Ruby frameworks, first mastering the fundamentals of web programming with Sinatra before experiencing how quickly they can build incredible apps with Rails.
Module 3: JavaScript
Students gain a thorough understanding of Javascript – crucial for front-end developers.
Module 4: Front-end Frameworks
Students learn to build productive, scalable front-ends with React and Redux, creating slick, functional, reactive code with Redux as a state manager and Rails as the back-end JSON API.
Solo Projects
After completing four curriculum modules focused on group projects, students work with instructors to come up with solo project concepts and spend dedicated time building truly sophisticated applications on their own. Students receive plenty of instructor feedback along the way while diving deep into various advanced technologies needed to bring their concepts to life.
Cost: $10,300 Course must be paid in full by the end of the third day of class, April 25. A non-refundable $500 deposit is needed to secure a spot in the cohort.
