You weren't meant to learn alone, that's part of why learning how to program is so difficult. We'll place you in a cohort with 14 other students, assign you to a dedicated mentor, and work with you every step of the way to make sure you reach your goals.
You'll be building real web applications, learning with other students, and receiving one-on-one attention from the mentors. We'll be pushing you to the very edge of your learning capacity. You will feel like quitting at times. Some students will be unable to finish the course.* When you've graduated from the class, you'll be a web developer building your own applications.
* We try our best to evaluate your commitment and determination level through the application and interview stage. We don't want students to fail, but we realize that some won't be determined enough to finish.
33% of all people who make formal New Years Resolutions will fail by the end of January. By July, more than half will quit.
Learning to program requires some willpower, just like going to the gym. We're here to make sure you commit to learning how to program. Like personal trainers, we'll spot you when you're stuck and need help. By going through the program with a cohort, you'll be able to ask other students who are progressing at the same pace as you.
In the first third of the course, you'll be progressing through one of the best Ruby on Rails resources out there: Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial
The last two thirds will be project-oriented where you'll focus on building things with your newfound skills.
It's all online at Bloc, meaning you can take the classes from anywhere in the world. This is perfect for someone who wants to enroll in something like Dev Bootcamp but can't because they don't live in San Francisco.
