Over the past month or so we’ve been sending our tutor Daryl and Northcoder in Residence Adie over to The Juice Academy in Castlefield where they have been training a group of young digital marketers in the art of code. The Juice Academy was set up by Sandy Lindsay ofTangerine PRand offers Digital Marketing apprenticeships to young people, including our very own young person Sam who is a Growth Apprentice at Northcoders!

This is part 2 of a small series introducing you to some of the higher order functions available to you on the Array prototype.

Giving everyone the chance to achieve their potential and providing equal opportunities is at the heart of everything we do. Anyone can learn to code, and should get the opportunity no matter what their previous experience.

One of the most common and feared tasks in programming is working with dates and time. The way dates are normally stored in databases or provided by 3rd party APIs is very different from the way you’d like to display them to your users. Moreover, if you have to make calculations such as scheduling dates in the future (e.g. send this email two weeks from now) or displaying relative time (e.g. this happened 2 minutes ago) things start to get tricky. And let’s get it out of the way early: to say that JavaScript’sDateAPIisquirky is to be kind with it. That’s whereMoment.jscomes in to the rescue!

I’m from an academic background and have done some coding in the past, but never really thought about it as a career.

Take your JavaScript knowledge to another level, a 'higher-order'. 

Test Driven Development (TDD) is an industry best practice, and it's a method we teach our students from week 1 of the course.

Ever considered learning to code? If you’re bored at work, consider yourself creative, or love learning, this post is for you!

The Northcoders Coding Bootcamp is an intense experience, each day is unique and presents a different challenge.
