Coding Fundamentals: Singapore Coding Course for Beginners
Your coding journey starts here.
Our graduates are all taught how to think programmatically. This vital component of coding is what distinguishes them from those who take regular online courses and enables them to succeed in the digital era.
Throughout these 12 sessions, you will learn six key technical concepts: Variables, Functions, Conditionals, Loops, Arrays and Hash tables, and Version control.
We’ll build apps, learn coding fundamentals, and understand software engineering — all the building blocks that you’ll need to enter the tech space.
Coding Fundamentals employs the flipped classroom model where you complete facilitated self-learning before class and engage in pair exercises during class. Fundamentals aims to introduce the elements of constructing a program and thinking about how it should work in a short (6 weeks, 12 lessons) amount of time.
Instead of just focusing on the JavaScript language, this foundational course teaches universal programming concepts by using a special "sandbox" environment. This means you'll get to practice and experiment with coding without the fear of breaking anything.
Using project and mastery based learning, we aim to incrementally level-up students' coding knowledge through fun game-based mini projects.
Upon completing our coding classes, you'll have a strong foundation in computational thinking and problem solving and the skills to start building your own projects confidently.

Meet our instructors
We’ve made it our job to make sure that every single Rocket Academy student is equipped with everything that it takes to become an exceptional software engineer. Optimised and personalised, our instructors focus on you as an individual and prepare you for success.
Our dedicated instructors, who are professionals in the field themselves, employ a ‘flipped-classroom’ methodology. In addition to a comprehensive curriculum, you get easy access to the instructors for all your questions as they guide you through the course.
Zeph enjoys working on coding projects. When he is not coding, he is either doing calisthenics or reading tech books.
Shen Nan likes to dabble in all things tech and entrepreneurship. He thinks the only way to be a better person is to drink more coffee.
Why Javascript?
With the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Javascript has become a crucial programming language in almost every field. Our online, part-time coding class in Javascript is the perfect opportunity to learn the core fundamentals of coding and open doors to endless possibilities in web applications, mobile app development, data science, and more.
Globally, JavaScript is the language of choice for app development, whereas Python is primarily used for data analysis and scripting.
While Python’s syntax is simpler, (which is why many beginner courses use Python), we focus on JavaScript primarily because we aim to train graduates in independent app web development, and JavaScript is the primarily language for that. Given its user-friendly interface and high demand in the industry, Javascript is an excellent choice for developers of all levels.
