If you had to define another person’s skill aptitude on a scale from 1-5, 5 being highest, how difficult would it be? Pretty easy, right? But what do those numbers mean? For instance, what does “2” mean in words? Let me provide a context: let’s assume that you’re a web developer teacher and it’s the end of the day Friday. Your boss calls you in for a meeting. He’s curious to know how the class is progressing, especially at the individual…
Last week, I posted a blog entry, “Is Our Coding Program For You?” that elaborates on why the web development is a good industry to get in to and talked about our 12 week bootcamp. However, some of the incoming students we talk to ask us this increasingly common question: “Can I do this?” What they are really asking is “I’m not getting in over my head by joining your 12 Week, intensive program, right?” And it’s a really good question. I’ll…
Trying to figure out what Node.js is? jQuery? Stop searching and start finding with this one-stop shop of web development terminology that we use every day. AJAX Stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is typically used for creating dynamic web applications and allows for asynchronous data retrieval without having to reload the page a visitor is on.

We are pleased that we had such a great turn-out last Saturday, August 9th! We had an hour-long presentation where we discussed our program and how beneficial it is for those who have a keen interest in becoming legitimate web developers, but want to do so in a fully-immersive environment and at an accelerated pace. Many of our attendees gave us great feedback on our presentation and program in general at the end of the open house. We answered our…
We had amazing feedback from our Open House attendees lately. One of the concerns we promised we’d go over in more detail was to answer the question of what you could expect from going through our course in terms of what you’d be able to build, as well as other benefits. First, check out the projects that you will be completing throughout weeks 4-12 of our program. This will partially answer your question regarding what you’ll be able to do by…
Here is what Stephen Portanova said about graduating coding bootcamp in relation to his college experience: “I learned 10 times more, in one-tenth the time, that I did at a four-year institution” Hundreds of these types of sentiments and reviews regarding the efficiency of coding bootcamps can be found with a simple Google search, but why take anyone else’s word for it? The reason why attending our coding bootcamp is the obvious choice for establishing an incredible career is clear: In a…
Far too often, people limit their own potential by over analyzing all the various pathways to success. Some that graduate high school worry too much about getting into the “perfect” college- a year later, they’re still not enrolled. Many graduate college and worry about about landing “the right job.” Four to six grueling years in university has convinced them to settle for no less than “x amount” for starting salary or “this and that” for the working environment. Alas, two years…
