Remote Software Development Bootcamp in JavaScript
Become a software developer in 13 weeks with our remote Software Development Bootcamp in JavaScript.
Learn the skills you need to become a full stack software developer
Our Software Development Bootcamp in JavaScript is where people like you come to develop lifelong friends, invaluable contacts and all the skills you need to hit the ground running in your coding career.
Unlike our Data Engineering Bootcamp in Python where you focus specifically on the "back end" of software, or our Software Development Bootcamp in Java Development that includes a special focus on the Java language and Android app development, our Software Development Bootcamp in JavaScript covers a mixture of back end and front end with a focus on building web applications.
The application process takes 2-3 weeks and we would advise you to apply sooner rather than later to give yourself plenty of time to work through the preparation materials.

What you’ll learn
Introduction Week
Week 1
Let’s get started! This week, you’ll meet the team and get a clear roadmap of how the course will unfold. It’s your opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the bootcamp experience and begin forming the habits that will drive your success. You’ll dive into the mechanics of code execution and learn how to approach problem-solving by breaking down challenges with test cases. But that’s not all—communication and collaboration are essential for developers, so we’ll introduce pair programming. You’ll practice sharing ideas, navigating technical jargon, and working hands-on with your peers.

But that’s not all—communication and collaboration are essential for developers, so we’ll introduce pair programming. You’ll practice sharing ideas, navigating technical jargon, and working hands-on with your peers.
Fundamentals
Welcome to the Fundamentals! Here, you’ll build the foundation for a successful programming career, mastering essential concepts and best practices that will set you apart as a developer. Using JavaScript, you’ll work with industry-leading tools and techniques—like test-driven development and pair programming—while experiencing the fast-paced, dynamic life of a software developer. You’ll also discover JavaScript’s flexibility, applying it to functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous programming. By the end, you’ll have the confidence and skills to thrive in any development environment.
Back End
Put your JavaScript skills to the test! This block takes you into back-end development, where you'll design and build robust, real-world APIs. You’ll follow popular REST standards and MVC architecture, creating powerful back-end systems that drive modern applications. This is where your JavaScript expertise really comes to life, building the foundation of the web.
Front End
Next up: front end! You’ll first explore the DOM (Document Object Model) and learn how to build accessible, user-friendly websites using semantic HTML and responsive CSS. We’ll also cover the fundamentals of UX design to enhance user experiences. Then, you’ll dive into React, the most in-demand front end library. In just a few weeks, you’ll have a solid understanding of React’s core concepts, empowering you to build impressive, portfolio-worthy projects.
Project Phase
Now it’s time to put everything you’ve learned into practice with a real, greenfield team project! You’ll collaborate to build something truly innovative, just like previous groups that explored Virtual Reality, Machine Learning, image recognition, and blockchain. The possibilities are endless—what you create is only limited by your imagination. Curious about what our previous graduates have built? Click here to see for yourself!
Interactive lectures
Our friendly, fully-interactive lectures provide plenty of opportunity to ask questions to the tutor or your peers in real-time.
We don't usually deliver content throughout – we find points to pause, let you try out some coding, formulate questions, and then pick back up afterwards.
Getting support
We check in with everyone on the course every day and you'll have your own mentor, with weekly one-to-one check-ins.
Our collaboration platforms allow you to call and live-share with your peers, and our tutors are always on hand to help through a video link, voice call or code live-sharing sessions.
Building a portfolio
You'll work on a number of projects to help you build your knowledge and show off your skills at building best-practice, complex websites.
Online community
Our online community keeps you connected to other Northcoders, bringing the atmosphere of campus to video, calls and texts.
