Stephanie Chamblee, Thinkful Grad
The curriculum is very focused on getting you a career in software development. Two days after the program, I got two job offers. Where I'm working now... I love it.

Sam Gould, Thinkful Grad
The meetings with my mentor were a grounding part of every day. We’d go through the day's learnings and it provided me the opportunity to solidify my understanding of the material.

Software Engineer at Lever
"The most important thing Hackbright taught me is how to learn. The curriculum teaches you how to build a web app from scratch, but more importantly, you're taught how to continue iterating on that web app, introduce new technologies, and progress as a software engineer even after you graduate."

Tammie K
Software Engineer at Uber
"When I was learning to code on my own, I didn't always get the full context of what I was trying to learn. Because Hackbright starts from the ground up, building on each topic as it goes, I was able to get to the heart of what was going on, and the high number of TAs available for questions meant that I was able to get personal attention during lab exercises."

Nicholas D., Software Engineering Grad
I am not a STEM person, I came from an arts and humanities background and I found the Flatiron curriculum to be fun (and often very challenging) but always instructive. The instructors were always available to answer my questions and point me in the right direction.

Shana M., Software Engineering Grad
My favorite part is the community. Even though it’s likely you will never meet other students in your cohort (though there are several meetups in big cities), everyone is extremely supportive of each other and no one feels like a stranger to me.

The difference between Flatiron and other options out there in the culture. The teaching staff, the career coaches, and the guys who started the place showed us how to love code and somehow gave us the exact right tools in the exact right order to help us help ourselves… I don’t just have an education now. I have a career.

Meet students who advanced their careers with Flatiron School

Victoria T., Software Engineering Grad
I learned how to be comfortable with something brand new and say, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing but let’s read about it; let’s tinker with it; let’s figure it out.’ And that’s carried into not just programming but situations like my cable’s broken – how do I start to figure this? Or, I got a piece of IKEA furniture – which would normally make me feel like crying. I feel much more equipped to tackle things that are brand new to me.

Stephanie O., Software Engineering Grad
Something that impressed me about Flatiron School was their emphasis on selecting social, awesome people — almost as a conscious effort to break and change the stereotype about developers being dry, quiet people who don’t like to socialize. Find empathetic, good people first — then make good developers out of them. When I came here, it was a roomful of people like that.

19 weeks, full-time, live online. No coding experience is needed.

Module 1: Full Stack Architecture (Weeks 1-4)
You’ll dive straight into the world of a full-stack Web programmer. These subjects represent the core knowledge and skills that are used in nearly every software engineering job.
- Turning software requirements into a running application with Python and Django, and Vanilla JavaScript
- Writing HTML and CSS to build working and interactive Web applications
- Using a relational PostgreSQL database to store and retrieve data for an application
- Securing your Web application for appropriate data access.

Module 1 Project (Weeks 5-6)
Your first project uses everything you’ve learned in the previous four weeks to build a meaningful full-stack Web application. You’ll design the database, write the server code to create the responses to drive the application experience, and author the client code to render an attractive, intuitive, and responsive Web application interface.

Module 2: Distributed Applications (Weeks 7-10)
Building on the robust knowledge learned in the first module, you’ll continue by exploring how to build even more complex Web applications using modern software architectural methods.
- Using different protocols and formats to interact with data with messaging middleware
- Applying the latest design and technical principles to create microservices
- Creating stand-alone Web application front-ends using functional React, hooks, and Redux
- Building near-real-time applications that automatically update all UIs with WebSockets and FastAPI

Module 2 Project (Weeks 11-12)
Your second project models how you work in a real-world software development team, utilizing the power of independent development in a collaborative environment. You and your team will use agile software development practices to individually build microservices that seamlessly work together to create a robust and scalable Web application.

Module 3: Data-Intensive Applications (Weeks 13-16)
Combine everything from the first 12 weeks with new skills to manage large amounts of data. Then learn development-security operations (DevSecOps) to harness the power of the cloud.
- Using different types of persistent data stores for different kinds of data with MongoDB and Apache Kafka
- Writing algorithms that work with different shapes of data
- Planning, creating and monitoring a continuous integration and delivery pipeline with GitLab Pipelines
- Using cloud resources and services to scale and manage your applications with Nomad and Consul

Module 3 Project (Weeks 17-18)
You’ve spent 16 weeks learning how to build robust, scalable, and interesting Web-based applications. Now you get to show it all off by combining cloud-native services with your own custom code. Again working as part of an agile software development effort, you’ll design and build a durable and responsive Web application using a cloud platform.

Module 4: Career Services (Week 19)
At this stage, you’ll begin your job search, leaning on the many things you’ve learned from our Career Services team during your time in the bootcamp. We’ll be right by your side, helping you find, land, and negotiate terms for the job of your dreams. Career Services during your 19 weeks include:
- 1:1 coaching sessions
- Mock interviews
- Portfolio and resume building
- Professional development workshops
- Networking exercises
- Access to a broad alumni network
