Course Outline
Learn online, and get familiar with fundamental principles and techniques at the core of programming through our self-paced, pre-course learning path.
• Start coding with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Leverage Git and GitHub to manage work.
• Practice working with a UNIX command line.
• Apply troubleshooting and debugging techniques.
Project: Test your knowledge of key JavaScript concepts, including variables, objects, and functions, building an in-browser game from scratch.

Learn to build full-stack web applications, deepening your knowledge of client-facing and server-side development. Expand your repertoire of programming languages and start coding collaboratively. Get familiar with key computer science concepts to become a more efficient programmer and perform confidently in technical interviews.
• Start writing recursive algorithms, as well as algorithms to solve computational problems such as sorting. Analyze algorithmic complexity using Big O Notation.
• Build web forms that collect user data for storage in a database (powered by Structured Query Language (SQL), MongoDB (noSQL), etc.).
• Get acquainted with front-end templating and libraries like Bootstrap.
• Incorporate authentication capabilities into sites and applications (i.e., user logins, encrypted passwords, etc.).
• Gain an introduction to testing and test-driven development.
• Engage in pair programming to understand collaboration and documentation best practices.
Project: Program a password-protected, full-stack application that stores data in a SQL or NoSQL database and deploy it via Heroku.
Tools taught may vary based on location and market demand.
Gain expertise with the modern software engineering tools and frameworks you’ll use on the job as a software engineer. Continue to hone your computer science knowledge by further exploring data structures. Get creative with a cumulative final project, building a full-stack application using technology you choose.
• Discover the capabilities that separate software engineers from coders, including the ability to plan, write, test, deploy, and launch a full-stack app using cutting-edge, next-gen technology.
• Deploy robust, modern front-end frameworks (i.e.,React, Angular, or Ember) on which powerhouse platforms like Amazon and Facebook are built.
• Incorporate new patterns into front-end architecture, including custom behaviors, client-side models and data binding, form validation, and state management.
• Leverage the package managers and build tools regularly used by professional engineers.
• Continue to explore data structures and get acquainted with design patterns.
• Prepare for job interviews and engage in mock interviews and additional whiteboarding practice.
Project: Choose the tools and skills you use to build and deploy a full-stack application (students often incorporate JavaScript frameworks — i.e., Angular).
Hone your programming skills by learning to build full-stack applications that leverage the capabilities of third-party APIs. Through pair programming and group collaboration, you’ll gain hands-on experience executing a real-world workflow. Dive deeper into algorithms and data structures.
• Solidify your understanding (and expand your employability) by learning a second tech stack.
• Get acquainted with more back-end libraries, frameworks, and tools that incorporate powerful front-end technologies like AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML).
• Discover how to integrate third-party APIs into websites and applications (e.g., Stripe).
• Allow user login via token-based authentication and external accounts (i.e., social media, oAuth).
• Organize effective team workflows with Git and GitHub, refining technical and interpersonal collaboration skills.
• Explore advanced debugging, testing, and documentation techniques.
• Learn to use data structures, including linked lists, stacks and queues, sets, and trees.
Final Project: Apply what you’ve learned throughout the course to mimic a team-client interaction, collaborating to build and deploy a full-stack application that fulfills provided specs. The final result will integrate functionality from a third-party API.
