COURSE STRUCTURE

EXERCISES
The written curriculum includes most of the information and teaching
material. This is how we teach the concepts you’ll learn in order to work on
the projects, solve coding challenges, and ultimately, work to get a job as
a developer.

You will be coding alongside the lessons as you work through them, so
you will be able to use the instructions and compare your results to the
expected results outlined in the lessons. If your code or project doesn’t
look as it should, it’s time to put on your problem-solving hat! The best
developers dive into problems to see where they might have made a
mistake or where there’s a better solution, and we have a lot of support to
help you get unstuck as you learn the ropes.

VIDEOS
The video lessons are recordings of short lectures that walk you through
high-level concepts and overviews of material. These are meant to provide
more clarity on complex topics and really help you connect the pieces of
the puzzle. We’ll give you pointers throughout the course so you know
when it makes sense to watch each video.

CHALLENGES
Throughout the program, you will work through a handful of challenges to
practice what you’re learning. Just like a developer on a team in the real
world, you’ll submit your code for review after completing each challenge.
Our team will review your code and provide you with feedback and
suggestions for how you can refactor or improve your code.

QUIZZES
Quizzes are short activities that allow you to show us what you’ve been
learning and allow us to evaluate your progress. We’ll ask you to complete
coding quizzes at specific points throughout the program.

The coding quizzes are meant to make sure you’re on track and retaining
the material necessary to succeed. If you consistently pass the coding
quizzes, you’ll know that you’re on the right track and well on your way to
achieving your goals.

COURSE OVERVIEW
The best way to retain knowledge is by getting hands-on experience. Our program will teach you
to not only think like a developer—but problem-solve like one. We’ve taken years of on-the-job
learnings and transformed them into strategically constructed lessons to teach learners the skills
they need to enter real web developer roles.
