We never stop learning. It’s why our teachers are the best! We are constantly adapting our syllabus as coding languages advance, to make sure we give students - including absolute beginners - the most relevant and cutting-edge training possible, while teaching them the best approach to problem solving.
Our coding bootcamp is very intense and covers a wide range of coding topics. This can be intimidating if you're a newbie coder, but remember: our full-stack bootcamp is also made for absolute beginners. To ensure everyone starts on a similar level, our students must complete all Prepwork before the first day of the course. The Prepwork takes between 30 and 40 hours and gives students a basic knowledge of:
Install professional developer tools to prepare you for the next 9 weeks
Write algorithms manipulating variables, loops, conditions and data structures like Array and Hash. Parse and store data from standard files (CSV, JSON, XML, HTML).
Structure your code with different classes following Object-Oriented principles. As with architects designing a building, developers must learn to respect patterns when designing software.
Software needs to store information in a database. Without a database, Facebook would not have a way of storing users' data. Learn to design a relational database and build structured queries to your database using SQL.
Elaborate your UI with atomic design and code beautiful components & layouts by applying the latest CSS techniques.
Learn ES6 - your second programming language after ruby - to add dynamic behaviour to your website, or update pages without reloading thanks to AJAX.
Wrap it all together by coding your first Ruby on Rails applications. Deploy your applications in production & start coding “the Rails way”.
Code a clone of Airbnb from scratch in 5 days. You will work in teams to learn to collaborate on Github using pull requests and deploy your apps on Heroku, using the same workflow as successful startups.
The final projects are the culmination of the bootcamp. Students work together to put everything they have learnt (and more!) into practice: inventing, pitching, designing, coding and deploying an original project in teams of 3 or 4 over a two week period.
Grab a coffee and start every morning with an engaging & interactive lecture, before putting what you’ve learnt into practice.
Pair up with your buddy for the day, and work on a series of programming challenges with the help of our teaching staff.
Learning to code is very intense, so it’s important to take a break and relax during our yoga classes.
Review the day’s challenges and get an overview of upcoming lessons during live code sessions.
Be inspired and get priceless advice from successful entrepreneurs at our exclusive talks and workshops.
Le Wagon’s coding bootcamp teaches you the essentials of programming through the construction of web applications. As a result, your Airbnb clone and your Final Project will form the start of your Github portfolio.
Next London coding bootcamp starts on Apr 1, 2019
