Watch Your Skills Compound

Most bootcamps throw everything at you at once. We don't. Each skill connects to the next one, and by month three, you'll notice how much faster you can solve problems.

1

Month One: Core Understanding

Get comfortable with code. Write functions, understand objects, and start thinking like a developer. It feels slow at first, but this foundation is everything.

JavaScript Problem Solving Debugging
2

Month Two: Building Interfaces

Create screens people actually interact with. Design layouts, handle button clicks, and make things look decent. This is where it starts feeling real.

React Native UI Design User Flow
3

Month Three: Making It Work

Connect your apps to the internet. Pull data, save user info, and handle the messy stuff like loading states and errors.

APIs Authentication Data Flow
4

Month Four: Professional Features

Add the features that separate hobby apps from professional ones. Notifications, camera access, offline mode.

Native Modules Optimization Testing
5

Month Five: Real Projects

Build apps that could actually ship. Work through the full development cycle from planning to deployment.

Project Management Full Stack Deployment
6

Month Six: Job Ready

Polish everything. Practice explaining your code, handle technical interviews, and present your portfolio with confidence.

How We Track Your Progress

No surprise quizzes. Everything we evaluate helps you become better at building apps. You'll always know where you stand and what to work on next.

Weekly Code Reviews

Submit your work every Friday. An instructor looks through your code line by line, explains what's working, and shows you better approaches for the stuff that isn't.

Every Week

Project Milestones

Four major projects throughout the program. Build them at your own pace during the week, then present them to the group. Get feedback from instructors and other students.

Monthly

Pair Programming Sessions

Work directly with another student on the same problem. One person codes, the other thinks ahead and asks questions. Switch roles every 20 minutes.

Twice Weekly

Technical Interviews

Practice the real thing. We ask you to solve coding problems out loud, explain your thinking, and work through bugs. Uncomfortable at first but incredibly helpful.

Bi-weekly

Portfolio Assessment

Final evaluation looks at your three main projects. We check code quality, user experience, and whether everything actually works. This determines your completion status.

Learn From People Who Actually Build Apps

Our instructors work as developers during the day. They teach because they remember struggling with this stuff and want to help others get through it faster than they did.
