Evening Software Engineering bootcamp

Learn the foundations of web development with HTML, CSS, Git, and the Command Line. This module will begin with the basics and quickly move into building your first professionally developed website. By the end of this module, you’ll have the confidence to build and organize coding projects and create multi-page websites using tools/methodologies like Bootstrap, CSS Grid, and Flexbox. Along the way, you will be learning how to back up, revise, and share your code with collaborators using Git.

Get started with scripting in module 2 with Python. This module will get you up to speed on the core concepts of programming using Python’s elegant, easy-to-learn syntax. You’ll learn about looping, conditional statements, data types, object-oriented programming, and more – culminating in a series of small Python applications like shopping carts and interactive games. Module 3 will contain intermediate to advanced techniques building off of a basic knowledge of Python. We’ll learn about regular expressions, user-defined data structures, common algorithms, the importance of time and space complexity, as well as how to communicate our code’s efficiency with other engineers.

Build, query, sort and update relational databases in module 4 with SQL. We’ll make our own functions to help automate SQL processes as well. Students will learn about making entity relationship diagrams, the importance of planning ahead when it comes to databases, and how certain data relates to other data. SQL Databases are an extremely important part of full-stack development, as they will eventually persist all of the data shown and collected in your applications.

Build your first dynamic website in module 5 with Flask. Flask is a powerful back-end framework where we’ll combine Python, SQL, HTML, and CSS together to create a full-stack web application. We’ll discuss moving data to and from our application with an Application Programming Interface (API)I, how to create secure authentication for an app, and how to host our application on the internet via Heroku.

Use JavaScript to create responsive web applications that users can display data from back-end applications (even ones we haven’t made). This is an important part of front-end development, as we will use JavaScript to help make our websites interactive for users to work with, as well as offering additional styling options. We’ll create a cryptocurrency app and work with Chicago Art Institute’s API to make a personal art gallery website.

You will master TypeScript and learn how to use it to build statically typed projects for front-end development. You will also gain a solid understanding of Object Oriented system design principles and how to apply them to create engaging and visually appealing web pages that users will love. By leveraging the advantages of statically typed languages, you will explore the benefits of reduced errors and improved productivity. In practical sessions, you will put your new skills to the test by creating an e-commerce store front. This project-based approach will bring the concepts you learn to life, giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a real-world scenario.

Bring dynamic functionality to the front-end with React. The final module in the course will cover Facebook’s very popular web-design framework for front-end. We’ll learn about components, how to move information within our front-end apps with state management, how to connect to the back-end APIs, and more. This module will cover functional programming, hosting and authenticating via Google’s Firebase, and creating custom hooks as well.

There will be one capstone project for this course.
