Apr 10–Sep 12
Weekdays
This program is divided into Front End Development, React Development, and Django (Python) Development.
In the program's first section, you will learn HTML to mark up webpages and CSS for styling. You'll then learn the fundamentals of JavaScript, Git for version control, and how to use Flexbox and Grid to layout, align, and reorder webpage content, as well as make it adapt to different size screens.
In the program's second section, you will learn fundamental JavaScript programming concepts, including variables, data types, loops, and DOM.
You'll then progress to React, a powerful JavaScript library for web development. The class will start with basics such as learning how to compose components which are the foundations of React. You will build a fully working desktop application using React during this course.
You'll learn Node.js, MongoDB, and Express.js to round out your JavaScript development skills.
This part of the program starts with the basics of Python. You'll learn the lexical syntax of Python and quickly move to more advanced topics such as dictionaries, custom functions, and sorting algorithms. You'll progress to object-oriented programming, working with APIs, and querying databases with SQL.
You'll then be introduced to Django, a Python web framework used for back end web programming. You will learn URL dispatchers, querying models, and automating tasks with Django. After understanding the fundamentals of Django, you'll learn Django REST, a Django framework that allows you to easily work with images, authentication, and API endpoints.
In this program, you will learn the most pivotal skills needed to secure a career in software and web development. You will create a portfolio of projects, prepare for common interview questions, polish your resume and LinkedIn profile, and get tips for applying to jobs. The program is backed by our Learn the Skills Guarantee™.
We do not offer formal job placement services or a job guarantee. You will be responsible for sending resumes to companies, but we will provide guidance and best practices for applying.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
The instructor explains everything clearly and spends time on topics that are important for future job opportunities. All code is explained in terms of both function and applicable shortcuts to make utilizing it easier.

I was a bit worried coming into my first class but after completing the first day, I realized it was all in my head and the instructor was great at teaching us at a reasonable pace.
Curtis Chiu
Great atmosphere, excellent instructors and flawless equipment. Would recommend to someone who is interested in coding and would like to be fully engaged in class.
Felix Mednik
If you are looking to really learn about programming, this is the place to go. Noble Desktop is hands down the best place to come.
Wendy Herzberg
I enjoyed the fact that we were challenged to write code on our own instead of following step-by-step from a book. It forced me to find out what I knew and (more importantly) what I didn't know. Devin was great in helping me understand concepts that I did not understand right away.
Joshua T.
Watch and learn, practice with help, practice again. That was my experience with Devin, and that was a game-changer for me!
