  • Instructor-facilitated, live online classroom format

  • Immersive digital learning tools

  • At the end of this unit, you will complete a project to apply your skills

• Front-End Development

  Unit 2

  You’ll study HTML5, CSS, and advanced CSS—and go beyond with fundamental Javascript concepts.

  Technologies

  • HTML5

  • CSS

  • JavaScript

  • Git and GitHub

  Concepts
  

  • Web Interface and Design - You’ll learn how content and imagery are best displayed on a website.

  • Front-End Framework - You’ll start to understand pre-written modules and their primary use cases in web development.

  Features

  • Pair Programming - Working with a fellow student, you’ll each use your newfound knowledge to write and optimize front-end code. This helps you build real-world experience and prepare for technical coding interviews.
• Development Libraries and Back-End Engineering

  Units 3 & 4

  You’ll apply your JavaScript skills with the amazing ecosystem of libraries that have made JavaScript the industry standard of web engineering. We’ll also teach you to use APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to connect to vast amounts of data to power your web applications.

  Technologies

  • JavaScript

  • JavaScript APIs

  • React, React Router, and React Hooks

  • Redux

  Concepts

  • Test-Driven Development (TDD) - Particularly relevant in JavaScript development, the TDD methodology allows developers to test new code before writing it—preserving its former iteration in case of incompatibilities or errors.

  Features

  • Prototyping - Throughout bootcamp, you’ll begin each project by scoping, researching, and beginning to build full stack web applications—touching on every stage of a typical, real-world prototype development process.
• Full Stack Development

  Unit 5

  You’ll master data organization and storage by working with SQL relational databases and learn how to integrate them into your applications. Then, it’s time to start building your own full stack application!

  Technologies

  • JavaScript

  • SQL

  Projects
  

  • Full Stack Capstone Project - You will work with a team of students to come up with an ambitious idea for an app, and start building it out. This will be the most impressive project in your portfolio and will demonstrate your full understanding of software development and industry best practices.

  • Full Stack Project Pitching - After formulating your own idea for a web or mobile application, you’ll pitch it to the class. Taking market, design, and utility considerations into account, you’ll understand through your pitch process how development projects come to fruition in real-world scenarios.

  Features
  

  • Portfolio Development - As you complete your full stack web development projects, all your code will be housed in GitHub to demonstrate your technical prowess and creativity to potential employers.

  • Career Coaching - Fullstack Academy Career Coaches are your one-stop professional development resource. They’ll work with you on core aspects of the job search–from interview preparation to resume optimization–throughout the final stages of your bootcamp experience and beyond.

Software Engineering Immersive Tools and Technologies

• Why should I choose the Software Engineering Bootcamp at Fullstack Academy?

  No matter where you are in your coding journey, you can hone the skills, knowledge, and practical experience of a professional web developer with Fullstack Academy. As a trusted trailblazer in tech education, we’ve helped over 10,000+ students graduate job-ready with the skills, drive, and portfolio to build lasting, thriving careers in tech.

• Why does Fullstack Academy teach Full Stack JavaScript?

  The future of web development has moved toward sophisticated, responsive, and dynamic single-page applications running in the browser. Apps like Gmail, Asana, Trello, Facebook, and Google Maps have redefined what users expect from web applications and what developers need to deliver.
  

  After observing these trends, plus conducting lots of research and conversations with industry experts, we’ve come to the conclusion that full stack JavaScript is the future of web development. Consequently, it is what we primarily immerse our students in at Fullstack Academy.
  

  What about Ruby on Rails, Python, or other engineering languages? Why are other schools teaching these-or a combination of these- instead?
  

  Ruby on Rails has been instrumental in consolidating many best practices in back-end web development–making it easier for developers to build large sites in an organized way. Meanwhile, Python has completely revolutionized the way sites record and use data—and we do teach Python foundational skills in our Data Analytics bootcamps.
  

  Primarily, though, research and use cases show that today’s web runs on highly interactive and responsive experiences that don’t require a page refresh at every step. As a result, single-page applications (SPAs) written in JavaScript using frameworks like React or Vue.js make JavaScript one of the best programming languages to learn.
  

  JavaScript also offers professional advantages over other languages. Fullstack Academy graduates are well-rounded coders with both a thorough understanding of the full stack and programming concepts in general. We’ve learned through years of tech education that students may more easily understand and master other coding languages once they’ve learned full stack JavaScript. This gives our graduates a more in-demand skill set that separates them from the competition and widens the range of coding job types they’re qualified for.

• What is the remote study experience like in the Software Engineering Bootcamp?

  All our coding bootcamps are thorough, comprehensive, immersive, and rigorous. We’re backed by multi-year experience in online tech training to deliver consistent, in-demand coding curricula and digital learning tools in a remote environment.

  Specifically, the Full-Time Software Engineering Bootcamp is designed to support you in leveling up your coding skills, building a robust portfolio, and launching a career in tech.

• How does the Software Engineering Immersive compare to self-led, online coding resources?

  There are a great number of online resources available and we encourage you to try them. Particularly for beginners, tools like Codecademy, Code School, and Team Treehouse can help you learn and practice in-demand coding concepts.

  At Fullstack Academy, learning and practicing coding concepts are only part of the equation. Our Software Engineering Immersive centers on ensuring students have everything they need to build a thriving career–all within an accelerated, guided, supportive, and career-focused environment for learning

  Additionally, the Software Engineering Immersive centers on active learning and competency-based evaluation metrics, so prospective students can effectively build practical coding skills with real-world application to become well-rounded software engineers.

• Can I reapply to the Software Engineering Immersive if I don’t get in the first time?

  If you apply to the Software Engineering Immersive and you don't get in, you are welcome to reapply in six months and work on improving your skills in the meantime.
