You should expect to spend on average about 20 hours a week between classes and homework on top of any other work or family obligations. Check out what a typical week in part-time study at Prime looks like:.
Twice a week on Tuesday and Wednesday we'll have instructor-led live video classes in the evening covering technical content and career development. Once a week you'll sign up for one of the six hour collaboration sessions with peers from your cohort and work together on assignments and projects. Outside the curriculum, you can sign up for time with the instructor or attend the weekly study group to get help from staff and peers if you're struggling.
Our first part time cohort will launch in July. We expect that the same scholarships, grants and financing options available for the full time program will apply to the part time option.
The decision to embark on a new career is a big step and you're certainly going to have a bunch of questions. Below are a few you may have, if your question isn't answered here feel free to reach out and schedule time to discuss the program with us! The curriculum goals for both programs are the same, so if you have the option to devote yourself full time to your career transition you may want to consider that path to accelerate your transition.
Paul or Kansas City area the part time program may be a better fit. The part time format asks less of students on a weekly basis, but most students will be balancing their studies with work or other commitments that require time. For most students both programs will represent a challenge that requires significant time and discipline. One of our goals in creating the part time program was to support potential students who are being encouraged by their current employers to grow into new roles.
Prime maintains campuses in Minneapolis and Kansas City. You will learn best practices and design patterns when building systems or applications. Front end development is about building beautiful and effective user experiences. React is a powerful JavaScript library that enables developers to create reusable components to avoid rewriting code.
Codesmith students learn to combine React with Redux a state management library to create large scale applications. Understanding the latest JavaScript syntax allows developers to write cleaner and more maintainable code. Framework and library popularity changes overtime, thus in-depth knowledge of programming fundamentals is crucial in becoming an adaptable engineer.
Responsiveness, performance, and accessibility are central to creating modern web pages. By implementing the latest frontend technologies students learn to optimize their applications to take into account user experience and efficiency. Backend development are the technologies and skills, such as server and database development, required to build scalable applications. Node and Express are largely responsible for the growing popularity of JavaScript because they allow developers to create entire applications in a single language.
You will design complex backend architecture and connect it with your front end logic to build full-stack applications. Non-relational databases allow us to handle large amounts of data for high traffic applications. The immersive program teaches you why non-relational databases should be used and the kinds of situations in which they provide an advantage over relational databases.
No application would be complete without a clear way for users to create accounts and store their data. By utilizing encryption, cookies, and OAuth, you will master the authentication flow to create secure applications.
Relational databases have been the industry standard because of their focus on security and consistency. You will learn the ins and outs of database manipulation and how to effectively manage interrelated data points. The fast rate of change in technology means engineers need to learn new technologies frequently. Codesmith teaches you not only the most modern technologies, like machine learning, but also how to learn so you can efficiently tackle new challenges throughout your career.
With the exponential growth of data generation in recent years, machine learning has quickly become an invaluable tool for building next-generation software solutions. The Machine Learning unit includes an immersive introduction to the python programming language, common machine learning and data science libraries, and underlying concepts that machine learning developers used on a daily basis. You are encouraged to build with tools that are pushing the developer community forward.
Employers love seeing engineers with a refined technical communication skill set. Throughout the program, you will get ample practice through pair programming experiences, working in small teams, and technical presentations.
This will shape your ability to clearly and accurately communicate ideas, expectations and problems. Building powerful applications and developer tools requires more than just technical ability.
Project management is the art and science of planning out projects, monitoring them throughout the development process, and assessing their results. You will become fluid in all agile methodologies, regularly using SCRUM and a variety of project management platforms preparing them to seamlessly integrate into engineering teams.
Codesmith students use a variety tools like Git, Github, command line, dev tools, chrome performance monitoring tools, deployment tools, and many more. You will usually focus on technologies, integrate APIs, and dive deep into connecting different parts of an application. Examples of solo projects include a websocket chess game, google maps with spotify integration, and an ecommerce clothing store. Smaller team projects at Codesmith are a time when you get to experience development as a team.
You will learn github for teams, SCRUM and agile methodologies, as well as work with more complex technologies. These projects are a chance for you to go beyond the limits a bit with their project scope, requiring more research and resulting in a finished product at production level. Examples of smaller team projects include a React mpc style drum machine, adventure style learning game teaching JavaScript, local dating applications, and a collaborative coding platform.
Sample Technologies including React router, more use of databases and servers, redux thunk, implementing testing. This project is a chance for you to really dive deep on a technology you aim to work with in your first job after Codesmith. Examples of smaller team projects include an encrypted messaging app, WebSocket based multiplayer game, and job interview question repository.
The Open Source Product is arguably the most important component of your education at Codesmith. You will build cutting edge projects and tackle incredibly difficult problems for the developer community.
Projects have received thousands of github stars, been featured mainstage at world renowned conferences, and are used daily in development. Read more and check out other awesome projects here.
