In 10 Weeks, you will be on your way to a successful career as a Web Developer.

This Deep Dive Coding Bootcamp will allow you to learn the fundamentals of modern web development to build great websites, software, and apps. We will teach you how to build modern, in-demand software that runs on any browser flawlessly.

Software Developers are in demand everywhere, including here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the unemployment rate for developers is just 1.8%. Jobs requiring coding skills pay an average of $22,000 per year more than jobs that don’t. Developers often have the opportunity to work in a flexible environment, on their own schedule, or even remotely. Working as an independent contractor is a common career choice as well; a chance to be your own boss!

Why You Should Learn Web Development

The internet is what connects us all and the world wide web is how we access everyday tools and resources such as social media communication, email, etc. In a world where we are evermore connected via the internet, we are in great need for web developers to build and manage applications. For example, you can work as a freelance developer helping businesses with their online presence, or build custom application program interfaces (APIs) for companies such as Facebook and Twitter. Building for the web is a great place to start your coding career.

Learn the Code

We’ll teach you the languages, tools and techniques you’ll be using as a software developer in the real world. This bootcamp focuses on a foundation in the JavaScript stack plus the latest technologies including React, HTML, CSS, Git, MySQL, and software architecture principles.

• Front-end with HTML, CSS, and React
• Server-side programming with Node.js and Express
• Functional Programming
• Introduction to Modern JavaScript
• Version control with Git and GitHub
• Using relational databases with MySQL
• Application deployment, DevOps, and containerization using Docker
• Agile project management methodologies

Prerequisites

• Experience with the Windows, OS X, or Linux Ubuntu operating systems.
• Practical understanding of the Internet – e.g. using a modern internet browser such as Chrome or Firefox to navigate the World Wide Web and download files.
• Fundamental computers skills, including basic use of the keyboard and mouse, as well as higher-level actions for file management (moving, copying, and deleting files).

Program

Pre-Bootcamp (Before the program starts)

Pre-work will be assigned to you before the bootcamp starts. All the resources used in the pre-work are accessible online or will be provided to you. Pre-work is mandatory and must be completed prior to orientation, which is generally a few days before bootcamp begins. The sooner you start and the more time you spend on your pre-work, the more prepared you’ll be. We recommend that you give yourself at least a month to complete this work prior to the start of the bootcamp.

Introduction and Discovery (weeks 1 – 2)

• Discover the components of coding and how the various parts work together to make web applications run.
• Become familiar with the various technologies used in modern web development.
• Build a technical resume and a professional online identity for the tech industry.
• Settle into your routine of coding all day at the STEMulus Center and on nights and weekends at home.

Preparation and Development (weeks 3 – 5)

• Reinforce your knowledge base through team and individual projects.
• Form teams to design and begin building your capstone project.
• Start building your personal website project to develop your new online presence.

Execution and Deployment (weeks 6 – 10)

• Immerse yourself in your team capstone project.
• Create clean, functional, and documented code. (That’s exactly what employers are looking for!)
• Complete resume and mock interviews.
• Complete your personal website project.
• Demonstrate your team capstone projects to employers, staffing agencies and others in the tech community.

Multiple mindfulness sessions are incorporated into the bootcamp to help students manage the stress of tests, presentations, interviews, and other high-stakes events.

Get College Credit

After you have completed this bootcamp, you will receive a certificate of completion, not a degree. You can receive Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) from Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) if you do decide to later pursue a degree, getting free credit for classes that are similar to what you learned in the bootcamp. Learn more about non-credit to credit CPL at CNM.

$6,995 is the discounted price for New Mexico residents.
$7,995 for out-of-state applicants.
