Program

Preparing for the Bootcamp (you’ll start your prework at least one month prior to the bootcamp)

Once accepted to the bootcamp and have your laptop ready to go, you will complete the assigned prework for the bootcamp consisting of chapters in the textbook “Learning PHP, MySQL, & JavaScript,” reading selected articles from “the Mozilla Developer Network,” setting up your student accounts and optional exercises on Lynda.com. We will send you the prework instructions and provide you with a textbook after you pay your deposit. The sooner you start and the more time you spend on your prework, the more prepared you’ll be for the start of the bootcamp. We recommend that you give yourself at least a month to complete this work prior to the start of the bootcamp.

Fullstack Bootcamp FAQs

What is fullstack?
The term fullstack refers to developers who are comfortable with working in backend and frontend technologies. In general, frontend is what you see, and backend is how it works. A fullstack developer can work within each layer of a program, from the database to the user interface, and thus can create more robust web based apps and software. Fullstack developers are sought after as team members because they can understand the language and tools of their teammates.
What’s the program like?
You’ll arrive at Deep Dive Fullstack Coding Bootcamp brimming with enthusiasm and ready for 2.5 months of hard work and massive additions to your brain, your confidence and your skills.

We’ll teach you the languages, tools and techniques used to build today’s best websites, software and apps, including HTML5, JavaScript, Angular 2, jQuery and CSS3 on the browser side, and MySQL, and lots of PHP on the server side.

You’ll become proficient with test environments, GitHub collaboration and version control tools, Agile Development Methodologies, and other professional development tools and best practices. Once you graduate, you’ll have the skills of a PHP programmer and web developer to entice employers to hire you as an employee, or for freelance work, depending on your career goals.

Why will I be learning JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and MySQL in addition to PHP?
In today’s workplace, coders interact with project managers, clients, web designers, database admins and other IT professionals on a regular basis. The most successful companies encourage (and pay) developers to be familiar with each aspect of a project life-cycle.

You’ll learn to create and manipulate the look and feel of a site/software, and as you’re learning the front and backend languages and functionality you’ll be better able to integrate all aspects of your software and apps into a finely-tuned result.

PHP is the server-side programming language most widely used to publish content and functionality to the web, currently with an 83% market share. Top companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Wikipedia and WordPress, plus many of Albuquerque’s fastest growing tech firms, use PHP to power their businesses.
Also, once you know PHP and the full xAMP stack you’re in a great position to learn other dynamic web languages such as Ruby and Python if desired and/or necessary.

Which version of PHP do you teach?
The Deep Dive Fullstack instructors work hard to make sure their students are always learning the latest technologies in programming. For example, in January 2016, PHP announced the release of PHP 7.0.0. Therefore, bootcamp instructors immediately began teaching PHP 7 to their students. PHP 7 comes with a new version of the Zend Engine, as well as new improvements and features including performance twice as fast as PHP 5.6, significantly reduced memory usage, improved Exception hierarchy, and many more new features. In addition, version differences between PHP 5.6 and 7 are emphasized so graduates can successfully work with both new and existing projects. This is just one example of how each bootcamp adapts to new trends and technologies.
What’s the web development program schedule like?
The Fullstack bootcamp is one of our fulltime bootcamps. You’ll have time for breaks and lunch, of course, and most students will choose to continue coding into the night and on weekends with classmates to hone their skills and build more apps. After all, graduates with the most coding experience will learn more and faster and may get the best jobs, right?
What types of jobs will I be ready for after attending Deep Dive Fullstack?
Fullstack developers are in high demand across the web development spectrum. Organizations from large enterprises to small startups need web and software developers with these skills. If you don’t have previous software development skills, you’ll likely start as an entry level/junior software developer. Also, if you’re interested in starting your own web development business or doing freelance work, this is the right program for you. Learn more.
