Coding refers to the use of programming languages to communicate with computers and give them instructions. That communication leads to the creation of websites, web applications, video games, software programs, data models, and even operating systems, among other things.
There are many specialties within coding; it is helpful to narrow down your focus before looking into courses. If you are interested in web development, you can look into front-end development programs to work on the user side of websites and web apps, or back-end courses to code the structure behind the scenes. There is also full-stack development, which combines the two! Aside from those options, you could specialize in mobile development, software engineering, or a specific coding language like Python or JavaScript.
Coding courses are a worthwhile investment as they can lead to a lucrative career path on Long Island or NYC. Because there are so many possible specialties within coding, it is also a versatile profession. This is attractive to many job-seekers because (depending on the languages you learn) you can assume different roles from one position to the next.
It is common to earn a six-figure salary in a Long Island coding career; some roles even fall in the $130,000 range. Considering the fact that the median for the state of New York is $70,000, it is possible to earn nearly double that in the right role. Examples of positions you could pursue with coding knowledge include Front-end, Back-end, or Full Stack Developer, Product Manager or Project Manager, and Computer Scientist.
Since coding is an incredibly versatile specialty, there are jobs across Long Island and NYC available in industries you might not think about at first. Healthcare, for example, might hire coders to work on websites and apps for patient portals as well as data science techniques to analyze trends in symptoms and diagnoses. The finance industry is also a top choice, with data-focused languages like Python and SQL facilitating financial analysis and building statistical models. There are nearly 7,000 tech jobs across these fields and others currently listed on Built In NYC, a local tech hub.
Trying to choose between in-person and live online courses? There is value in both formats, but some aspects of face-to-face learning cannot be truly replicated. One benefit of in-person classes is the access to computers and other equipment you’ll need for the course. If your home computer is outdated or your internet connection is spotty, you might not have as high a chance for success as you would in a computer lab with equipment and connections designed for high amounts of coding. Other advantages include networking opportunities, a fully immersive experience, and in-person access to your instructor for any questions or issues.
You’ll find quite a few in-person classes at NYC’s leading coding and design school, Noble Desktop. Founded in 1990, Noble has been providing students with quality tech education for more than three decades. Over that time, the school has cultivated an engaging learning environment and highly effective curriculum design for all classes.
Noble’s onsite facility is located in Manhattan, under a mile from Penn Station if you choose to take the LIRR and commute to class. Once there, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art equipment which you’ll use to complete real work and projects in your coding classes, learning by doing rather than watching or listening. Noble’s courses are held in small groups, which not only fosters student collaboration but also ensures that you won’t get lost in a crowd if you have a question or need help with a difficult concept.
A straightforward commute from Long Island on the LIRR to Penn Station, which is under a mile from the campus.
The available curriculum at Noble Desktop is vast, with ample coding courses across specialties like front-end, back-end, and data science. If you are looking to learn coding as a way to break into a new career path or change your focus, you might be interested in a bootcamp or certificate training program as they are the most comprehensive form of education Noble offers. The Software Engineering Certificate, for example, is perfect for any aspiring Software Engineer or Full Stack Developer. It is broken out into three development-centered sections: one on front-end, one on React, and one on Django (Python).
Other options include the Front-End Web Development Certificate, which focuses more on the visual aspects of websites and web applications, or the Data Science Certificate for work with data analysis, machine learning, and complex database management. An added benefit of each of these certificates (including software engineering mentioned above) is that they include four one-on-one sessions with an expert mentor in the field. During this personalized coaching, you’ll gain incredibly valuable support not only on the course itself but also on your LinkedIn profile, portfolio, and job search.
Noble affiliate Practical Programming also offers coding courses in data science, software engineering, FinTech, and data science. Their Python Immersive and Data Science Immersive are both excellent ways to prepare for a career in finance or other data-heavy professions, and you can take both right in Noble Desktop’s Manhattan facility.
Other venues currently offering coding courses include ONLC, NYC Data Science Academy, BrainStation, and General Assembly. There are options with varying durations and skill levels, from shorter workshops that last a day or two to full-length bootcamps and immersive programs that span several weeks or months. Given the popularity of data science careers at the moment, many schools have extensive options in Python—though there are other languages and concepts available as well.
While there is nothing quite like seeing your instructors and classmates face-to-face, it’s not always an option. Virtual courses have evolved immensely in recent years, to the point that today’s teleconferencing capabilities make live online classes almost identical to their in-person counterparts. From the comfort of your home or office, you can still ask questions in real-time, get individualized feedback from your instructor, and learn in a hands-on environment through real projects.
If you cannot commute to NYC for Noble Desktop’s in-person coding courses, the good news is that the entire catalog is available online as well. From the shortest workshop to the longest certificate, any course you have your eye on can be taken in a live online format. You’ll need your own equipment and internet connection, but otherwise the experience is extremely comparable to the in-person courses.
When entering a new field or career path, especially a nuanced one like coding, the job descriptions can be intimidating. Most positions will require knowledge of several programming languages, frameworks, testing tools, and other important concepts to the trade. You could certainly try to learn these pieces separately to build up your skills, but coding bootcamps present an easier and more straightforward way to prepare for a career.
Coding bootcamps are immersive training programs that help you to build the skills necessary for a job in your desired field. There are several coding bootcamps on Long Island to choose from, including several from Noble Desktop including the Front-end Web Development Certificate, Software Engineering Certificate, and Python Developer Bootcamp, among others. All of these are held at Noble’s state-of-the-art facility in Manhattan, where you can complete project-oriented practice that will prepare you to join a new career soon after graduation.
There are a few other providers on Long Island where you can find coding bootcamps such as Fullstack Academy, Ironhack, DigitalCrafts, and Metis, among others. No matter where you attend your classes, a coding bootcamp is one of the best ways to jump-start your career in programming.
Teens and young adults looking to learn coding or design can do so through Noble Desktop’s subsidiary NextGen Bootcamp. Through summer classes held at Noble’s Manhattan location, NextGen teaches students from 13-21 years old using a fine-tuned curriculum specially designed for that unique age group.
There are several summer coding courses for high schoolers on Long Island that would be perfect for any student looking to jump-start their career after graduation.

There are many reasons a company might pursue corporate coding training for its employees, including website maintenance, app creation, or teaching new skills to an existing development team. Noble Desktop offers several options for onsite or virtual corporate coding training programs, with flexible options designed to fit a variety of business needs.
For large groups, the most convenient option would be to hold onsite training, which is where an expert instructor comes to your office to conduct an existing Noble course or a custom curriculum built from scratch. Depending on your office’s proximity to Noble’s Manhattan facility, you might want to hold training programs there as well if an offsite location would be a better fit. You may also prefer to send smaller groups of employees to Noble courses using discounted vouchers, which apply to both in-person and live online courses.
