// THE CURRICULUM
Here's Exactly What You'll Learn
20 weeks. No fluff. No "we'll figure it out later." Every week has a specific outcome you can see and build.
If a week ends and you haven't built something real, we failed you. That's our promise.
The Goal
Build Real Apps
By week 20, you deploy a working web application online. Real projects you can show.
// REAL TALK
What Nobody Tells You About Learning To Code
Most bootcamps promise you'll be "job-ready" in 12 weeks. That's a lie.
Learning to code is hard. Your brain has to completely rewire itself. You will spend hours stuck on bugs that make no sense. You will question if you're cut out for this. You will want to quit.
We take 20 weeks because that's how long it actually takes to learn fundamentals deeply enough to build real applications. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or selling you garbage.
// THE 4 PHASES
The Journey From Zero To Deployed
Each phase ends with something you built. Not a tutorial you followed. Not code AI generated for you. Something you made.
Weeks 1-4
The Foundations
HTML, CSS, JavaScript — by hand. No frameworks. No shortcuts. No AI crutches.
- What is code, really?
- How browsers work
- Building layouts from scratch
- JavaScript fundamentals
- Git and version control
✓Outcome: Your first live website
Weeks 5-10
Interactive Apps
React components, state management, and building UIs that actually do things.
- Component thinking
- State and props
- Handling user input
- Routing and navigation
- Working with APIs
✓Outcome: Interactive web app
Weeks 11-15
Backend Power
Databases, authentication, APIs. The stuff that makes apps actually useful.
- Server-side programming
- Database design
- REST APIs
- User authentication
- Data relationships
✓Outcome: Full-stack prototype
Weeks 16-20
Ship It
Your capstone project. Plan it, build it, debug it, deploy it. This is the real test.
- Planning your app
- Building complete features
- Deploying online
- Performance optimization
- Portfolio presentation
✓Outcome: Live app you built
// WEEKLY SCHEDULE
What A Week Actually Looks Like
No vague "self-paced learning." Every week has structure, live instruction, and actual deadlines.
Monday-Thursday
Weekday Sessions
7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Live remote instruction, code-alongs, debugging sessions. We teach, you code, we review.
Can't make it live? Recordings available. But live is better — ask questions immediately.
Saturday
Saturday Deep-Dive
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Hands-on project work, pair programming, code reviews, debugging help.
This is where the magic happens. Working together, getting unstuck in real-time.
Independent Practice
Expect 4-6 hours of independent coding per week minimum. This is where skills become permanent.
Reality check: If you're not willing to code on your own time, this program won't work for you. We can't learn for you.
// TECH STACK
The Tools You'll Master
Industry-standard tools. Not because they're trendy. Because they work.
JavaScript
The language of the web
Not TypeScript first. Raw JavaScript so you understand what's actually happening.
React
Build modern UIs
The most popular frontend framework. Learn it properly and pick up any other.
Next.js
Full-stack framework
Build complete web apps with routing, server features, and API connections.
Node.js
Server-side JavaScript
Write backend logic in the same language as your frontend.
PostgreSQL
Production database
A real database used by real companies. Design schemas, write queries.
Git + Deploy
Ship your code
Version control and deployment from day one. Every project lives online.
// AI INTEGRATION
When You Use AI (And When You Don't)
Weeks 1-4: No AI
You write every line by hand. No exceptions. If you don't understand the fundamentals, AI will cripple you.
Weeks 5-10: AI as Study Partner
AI explains concepts, debugs errors, suggests improvements. But you still write the code. AI is your tutor, not your ghostwriter.
Weeks 11-20: Strategic AI Use
Now you can leverage AI properly. Generate boilerplate, speed up repetitive tasks, explore patterns. Because you understand what it's doing.
The Difference
By week 20, you can build with or without AI.
That's what makes you valuable. You're not dependent on the tool. You're empowered by it.
This Is The Curriculum. No Surprises.
20 weeks. Real projects. Real skills. If you're ready to do the work, we're ready to teach you.
