Learn with Stacked Modules

Concepts in each of our courses are taught using stacked modules, where a new concept is introduced in each class session, building upon what came before it. This is a challenging style that requires persistence, practice, and collaboration, but allows more concepts to be introduced over the length of the course. This method helps students learn and retain more information in a short period of time. Learn more about stacked modules.

Prerequisites

Prework

Once you are accepted into the course, please complete the Code 201 Prework. This important Prework makes up part of your 201 grades!

Material Requirements

You are required to supply your own laptop that meets the below requirements. Chromebooks are not suitable for this course, since you can’t directly control installed software. You are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of your computer throughout the course. The course will include a class session dedicated to configuring your computer to be ready for professional-grade software development the first day of class.

Nights and Weekends

DeltaV understands that our software development program is a huge undertaking. That’s why we adapted the Code 201: Fundamentals of Software Development curriculum to a nights and weekends format! The program stretches our 4-week daytime program across 7 weeks of classes Mondays through Thursdays and Saturdays. The course still features live instruction, group projects and presentations, and career coaching, but at the pace that fits your busy life!

Curious? Reach out to us to talk about our nights and weekends programs!
