Immersive Course 3 months Career Support Lifetime Immersive Course Most courses teach students specific tools rather than how to program. However, the software industry is fast-paced and each tool becomes quickly outdated - which could make your resume worthless in less than a year. In the Code Chrysalis Immersive, we do keep the tech stacks we teach up-to-date - but we also teach solid engineering practices, historical perspective, and real priorities that will help you keep up with the industry regardless of where it goes. In our project portion, you will build a solid portfolio of projects in the languages and tech stacks that you want to use and get practical experience working on an Agile development team. Our students have opportunities to get real world experience adding features to a live codebase, which they can draw from in interviews. Our curriculum is optimized to help you compete in an ever more competitive job market - whether you are job searching in Japan or abroad. 01 Data Structures & Complexity Analysis Computer Science graduates often have a lot of experience with these topics, and because of that technical interviews test heavily for knowledge of data structures and complexity. Data these days is huge, so it’s not enough for things to just work - you also need to know how to make things work efficiently. 02 Agile Methodologies and Practices Writing software in a group is different than writing software on your own. Agile is a set of industry-standard processes and practices used in professional environments to facilitate team efficiency. Experience in Agile practices (such as effective Pair Programming and Test Driven Development) is highly sought by hiring managers and recruiters to find engineers ready to be productive on their first day. 03 SQL, Databases, & Schema Creation Databases can handle orders of magnitude more data than Excel spreadsheets. SQL (pronounced "sequel") is one of the most common languages currently used in modern software solutions to interact with databases, and is an in-demand skill at any company that deals with large amounts of data. 04 HTTP & Express Frameworks and languages come and go, but HTTP is the basis of all communication on the internet. In addition to teaching students Express (the most common HTTP server framework for Node), we instill a fundamental understanding of HTTP itself to guarantee that they can navigate the constantly evolving world of web development for years to come. 05 API Architectures Developing code in large organizations requires good communication not just between people, but between different pieces of code. APIs are the connection between large code components and learning how to develop an effective API is critical in any organization where the code you use is consumed by other teams. We teach common architectural guidelines (such as REST) for how to create a professional-quality API. 06 Front-end UI Frameworks After gaining a solid foundation in HTML and CSS fundamentals and Functional/Object Oriented programming paradigms, there are many frontend frameworks to choose from. We teach a framework called React, which is the most common frontend framework currently in demand in both the Japanese market and abroad. We heavily emphasize the skills that will allow you to quickly pick up any front-end framework used at your future workplace, whether it is React, Vue, Angular, or even an in-house framework specific to your company. 07 CI/CD & Deployment Writing code and building a product is only part of the product lifecycle. How does something you created on your computer get published to the rest of the world? How do you release updates? How can you be confident that the product will work after it's released? Knowledge of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and related workflows is a critical skill for modern development pipelines. 08 Programming Language Learning (”Polyglottal”) Engineers who only know one programming language are very common, so you can set yourself apart by knowing multiple languages. During “Polyglottal” week, you will learn a second programming language (of your choosing) and build a project for your portfolio in that language. Most companies use at least two languages (sometimes more). Based on what type of company you want to work for, we will guide you to choose the best second language for your resume. 09 Senior Project The Senior Project phase will give you real experience working at your own mini-startup for a few weeks. Your team will have to collaborate from project inception all the way to delivery, allowing you to encounter the realities of working on an engineering team. You can choose any tech stack for this project to build your portfolio, and get critical first hand experience with testing, documentation, and security issues. When interviewers ask, “What is a technical problem you’ve encountered and how did you solve it?” this project will be the source of your answers.
