What You'll Learn

Fundamentals of the Web

A solid grounding in all things web. You'll be guided through the world of HTML, CSS, and introduced to JavaScript.

Advanced JavaScript

We double down on the most exciting programming language out there - JavaScript. You'll learn programming concepts and techniques by getting hands-on solving problems with code.

Back End

The beauty of JavaScript is you can learn one language and use it anywhere, for anything. We use Node.js to teach back-end development, covering everything from what is a server to using libraries like ExpressJS to create production ready services.

APIs and DBs

Don't worry if you don't know what they mean - you will. APIs are the heart of the modern web, and communicating with databases is vital... you'll master both.

Advanced Front End with React

React is the most popular front-end JavaScript library for companies, and still growing. We will teach you in-depth how to use it to build amazing user interfaces.

Cloud Hosting

The cloud - you've heard a lot about it, but now you'll learn how to utilise it to your advantage, hosting all of your applications and services on it.

Projects

The course centres around key projects - first is the half-way project, solving a challenge for a company in a week. Last time around, it was Dell - this time it will be Santander.

Team Work

Programming has a stereotype of being a lonely, isolating experience. We embed people into teams from day 1, and teach you how to work as a modern top tech team.

Networking and Profile

Networking is a skill that is often overlooked, but building a network of contacts can help open up better opportunities in the future. We will help you start building that network, and help you build your profile in the local tech community.

CV and Jobs

We've partnered with tech recruitment experts Mortimer Spinks to give you the best chance of landing your dream job and starting your tech career. They help and support from the start, helping you shape your CV, prepare for interviews, and connecting you with employers who fit you perfectly.
