Lecture

Every morning, you and your classmates will watch short lectures and demos discussing both theoretical and practical use cases.

Lectures are followed by live Q&A sessions with your Senior Instructor to answer any questions before you put those concepts into action.

Projects + Pair Programming

After lunch, you will pair-up with a classmate and work on collaborative projects that drive home the concepts from the morning’s lecture. Working with others is something you’ll do almost all the time in software development, so learning to adapt to different people on different projects is very important. It also helps to talk through problems with one another, work as a team, and find solutions together.
