Program FAQs
Why JavaScript and React?
They power the largest share of modern web development roles, and the concepts — components, state, APIs — transfer directly to other stacks.
Will I work in a team?
Yes. The final six weeks are a team capstone run in agile sprints with standups, code review, and a public demo day.
