SQL Databases

SQL is commonly used across the programming world. Whether you are storing user data for a web application, analyzing big data in fintech, or creating neural networks for a machine learning model… chances are you will be using SQL!

Module 5

Flask

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.

Big names in tech hire Coding Temple grads

Self-Paced Software Engineering graduates

"My overall experience at Coding Temple was super fun and insightful. As a student with zero-knowledge in programming, I was quite apprehensive about diving into the idea of this dreadful 3 month Bootcamp torture people make it out to be, but it was quite the opposite at the temple. In fact, I felt at ease the moment I did the introductory class and got to know more about the school curriculum and my classmates."

Tenzin L.

"This was the best decision I have ever made. I learned so much during the three months at Coding Temple. I can now build full stack applications!! How amazing is that!! With the skillset I acquired at Coding Temple, I was able to land a job as a Software Engineer. I could not have landed it without the amazing instructors at Coding Temple."

Aydee R.

"Coding Temple will take you where you want to go. It is hard to see progress in yourself until its exceptionally obvious, but trust the reviews and the program. For me, the structure, and expert guidance was the allure for this camp and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this course, for anyone looking to get into software development as a career."

Joseph M.

“I didn't want a program that was set up as a bunch of videos to watch with no real support. I could get that from YouTube. So when I was researching the different bootcamp options out there, I liked that Coding Temple offered an instructor. Most did for full-time/in-person courses but CT also offers instructor support in their Self-Paced program. The instructor was extremely helpful when I ran into issues or needed a bit more explanation on various things we were learning. The assignments were engaging, dare I say FUN and challenged you to truly apply what you were learning in the course.”

FAQs

How many hours a week do I need to commit to the Self-Paced Bootcamp?

Our Self-paced bootcamps allow students to work at their own pace and on their own schedule, rather than following a set schedule of live instruction and assignments. The number of hours you need to commit to a self-paced bootcamp will depend on the specific program you choose and your personal learning style and goals. We recommend that you dedicate a minimum of 10-30 hrs per week to complete the program.

Who is a Self-Paced Bootcamp best for?

Our Self-paced bootcamps are generally best for people who are self-motivated, disciplined, and able to manage their own time effectively. This may also be a good option for people who are comfortable learning independently, as this learning option does not involve live instruction or the same level of support as our Full-Time or Part-Time learning options. This program is also a good option for people who are unable to commit to a full-time or part-time program due to other commitments, such as work or family obligations.

It’s important to carefully consider your own learning style and needs before deciding whether a self-paced bootcamp is the right option for you.
