About the Course
App Academy's Coding Bootcamp is a 24-week, full-time bootcamp focused on teaching both front-end and back-end web development. The curriculum includes languages like JavaScript, Ruby, SQL, and frameworks such as React and Rails. It also emphasizes algorithms, data structures, and coding best practices. The course prepares students for software engineering roles and follows an income-share agreement, allowing students to pay after they land a job.
Moocable Alternative
We carefully study a bootcamp/influncer course and provide a free/affordable alternative using MOOCs (online courses, books...). In addition, you can find study partners and have your own DIY-bootcamp for free!
