Learn. More. Faster.
It’s a bold promise and one that can be fulfilled only when we are willing to not only challenge our assumptions about how we learn but abandon what we think has worked for us in the past. Get comfortable being uncomfortable and really accelerate your learning with an experience-based, stacked approach.

They’re supporting and they’re watching every time you do a presentation. They’re there to clap for you, and that kind of support doesn’t come that often. Code Fellows is one in a million for me!” – Roscoe Bass

READ MOREWant to turn your ideas into code? Here’s a tip. The battle is usually won before you’ve written a line of code. Our code represents the very specific set of instructions that we give to our computers, but before we tell our computer what to do, we need to know EXACTLY what problem we are solving, and how EXACTLY we are going to solve it. This is where all the real work of programming begins and we have to rely on our problem-solving methodologies.
READ MORECode Fellows’ own vice president of education, Brook Riggio, breaks down the differences between coding languages and shares his suggestions about which language you should learn first.
READ MOREMeet Morgan Nomura! During her time as a TPM at Nordstrom, she got a front row seat to the work that software developers do every day. She studied at Code Fellows to quickly learn modern Python programming, and now works with the very developers who inspired her to try coding over a year ago.
READ MOREWe’ve seen some impressive projects come out of the four-day sprint dubbed Project Week at Code Fellows. From online drum kits to Google Street View on Mars, we’re continually amazed by what students create in just one week.
READ MOREWe get the question a lot: how do I know which programming language to learn first? Since you’ll likely learn more than a few languages throughout your software development career, which language you learn first usually comes down to personal preference and what kind of software you want to build. In this blog series, we’ll lay out the pros of each language, show you what you can build, give salary and job data, and help clear up some of the questions around the languages we teach at Code Fellows.

READ MOREFive days. It’s not a lot of time to plan, build, debug, and present a fully-functioning app, but it’s what we ask our Development Accelerators students to do after seven weeks of intense training and practice. We talk with a team of graduates who decided their project wasn’t quite finished, and made plans to make it even better.
