Coding Course Overview

Your Coding Journey Starts Here

Coding Fundamentals is our in-person 6-week part-time introduction course on essential programming concepts where you will learn to code in an engaging and fun manner.

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.

Who Should Take This Coding Course?

Our Fundamentals program is designed for highly-motivated people who have an aptitude for problem solving, and strong communication and collaboration skills.

‍Do you need basic coding knowledge?
‍
‍Nope! We believe that everyone has the potential to learn computer programming, regardless of their background. That's why our coding course has been designed to cater to all levels, whether you're a complete beginner or have had prior programming experience.

So, don't worry if you're new to programming - we've got you covered!

Skills You’ll Learn

Basic Programming
Arrays & Loops
Basic JavaScript
Basic HTML & CSS
Basic Data Manipulation
Git & GitHub
Conditional Logic
Debugging Code

Coding Course Details

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 basic 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

Show all testimonials

"Rocket's bootcamp was what I needed to kickstart my career as a software engineer. In addition to the technical training, what makes the course even more valuable is its focus on developing soft skills, such as working in teams, and presenting our work to people with varying technical backgrounds. A welcome surprise was the amount of guidance we received in our job hunts, even after graduation. I'm especially grateful for the mentorship and friendship of my instructors, peers and seniors, which made the journey all the more worth while."

Liz

Software Engineer

"After working through online courses independently, I realized that having a structured support environment was critical to building technical skills. Rocket was a great place to start - providing mentorship and guidance and also extending support with the daunting job search process. Most importantly, working through a demanding learning process with peers and supportive mentors was extremely encouraging. This gave me the confidence to do a career switch into a full-fledged software engineer - a role which I've found to be challenging but massively rewarding."

Grace

Software Engineer

"Having graduated from bootcamp and taking up a job as a software engineer, I have full confidence in Rocket's ability to help career switchers (like myself) make the transition. The syllabus remains focused on helping bootcampers gain employment as SWEs— from the rigorous algorithms practice (a crucial part of the SWE interview process) to having a comprehensive set of portfolio projects to show employers by the time bootcamp ends. I'm super impressed by the increasing quality and complexity of the projects that bootcampers are producing, it’s truly getting more impressive with each batch!"

Jeremy Lim

Software Engineer

"Like everyone else, I had initial doubts and worries about a ‘career-switch’, but I developed confidence through bootcamp's curriculum and advice from instructors with industry experience. I built a strong foundation and improved on learning new things fast. Building projects from ideation to deployment, both individually and as a group, was also very valuable. I have taken away much more than I expected - not only technical skills, but career advice and meaningful connections. I will definitely recommend Rocket's bootcamp to anyone who is keen in becoming a software engineer."

Kimmi Lee

Software Engineer

"Rocket Academy gave me a supportive and vibrant community of peers, staff, alumni who are really passionate about coding and invested in our collective success. Rocket’s curriculum is not only comprehensive but taught me the important skill of how to unblock myself which is fundamental for every software engineer. "

Hsiu Ping

Software Engineer

"I thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum. It was a great balance of challenge and fun, and my batch mates and I were always supported throughout the learning journey. Not only did I gain relevant technical knowledge and skills, the experience also taught me how to be independent and creative in learning and problem solving."

Ian Yip

Software Engineer

"Rocket was a really challenging but extremely rewarding learning experience. We were immersed in the frontend, backend, and cloud technologies that gave us a solid foundation for dreaming and building a range of projects that I'm still proud of up till today. The student community is very diverse and hardworking. It's always interesting to see the projects they come up with. The Rocket staff are very committed to giving us good exposure to the industry through frequent talks and Q&A sessions. They are good teachers and gave much needed support in job preparation and job hunting."

Jia En

Product Engineer

"Rocket's community was one of the main reasons for me to take the leap of faith to make a career switch with them instead of other bootcamp providers. The camaraderie and energy levels of my coursemates and students of the other batches really value-added to my learning and always gave me motivation to achieve more with each project, which ultimately helped me land my current job."

Dominique Yeo

Software Engineer

"A great bootcamp with very intelligent software engineers as teachers! The curriculum was well paced, making learning really fun and giving enough time for concepts to sink in. At the end of it, it provided me with the confidence and necessary skills to transition into a career as a developer, and more importantly, I left with the skills to teach myself new languages and the classical CS concepts."

Edward Porter

Software Engineer

"Joining Rocket's Bootcamp is one of the best learning experiences I've had. Although the journey was intense, the camaraderie of my fellow batchmates, instructors and alumni were amazing. The projects and assignments were challenging and I love that we could all do them in different levels. The Rocket network and support was really instrumental in my job search, from resume reviews (most comprehensive one I've ever had!), leetcode practice, job scrums and referrals. If you're thinking of making a career switch, definitely give Rocket's Bootcamp a shot! Life is too short to be stuck in a job you don't like."

Dewi

Frontend Web Developer

"Rocket Academy’s bootcamp equipped me with the tools and confidence I needed to make a career switch. It’s specialised and well-structured curriculum, dedicated instructors and network of like-minded individuals created an environment which allowed me to thrive and empowered me to start my career as a Software Engineer."

Why start with JavaScript when first learning coding?

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.
