Presenting the Caltech Coding Bootcamp Powered by Simplilearn

What is This Program About?

The six-month Caltech Coding Bootcamp was created to train learners in both front-end and back-end Java technologies, ultimately resulting in a well-trained full-stack developer. Students learn the basics of development and work their way up to the advanced concepts of full-stack web development. In addition, the bootcamp provides training in critical areas like Angular, Spring Boot, web services, JSPs, and MongoDB, all designed to facilitate graduates finding a new career as full-stack developers.

The bootcamp runs for six months, with a weekly commitment of between five to ten hours a week. Students learn through masterclasses taught by qualified Caltech instructors, gaining critical coding skills delivered through the intense bootcamp setting.

The online bootcamp offers students a hands-on curriculum that covers the following disciplines:

• Agile front-end development. Students learn how to deliver projects in a timely fashion using Agile and Scrum methodologies. They also learn about building blocks of Java data structures and how to apply them in object-oriented programming. Students round out this section by understanding Git and showing them how to manage version control systems and essential SQL concepts.
• Back-end development/database setup. Students gain in-depth skills in Core Java, JDBC, and other tools, subsequently learning how to use back-end technologies, then apply this newfound knowledge by working on real-world projects.
• Complete front-end and back-end communication. Students learn about vital tools like microservices, web services, and Spring Boot.
• DevOps and cloud automation. DevOps methodology has gained greater traction in the app development world, and this section teaches students how to make a seamless DevOps environment by employing containerization courtesy of Docker. Furthermore, students will learn how to automate applications using the cloud, specifically Amazon S3 servers.
• Capstone Project. Finally, all students must complete a Caltech bootcamp project, where they work on an original problem and try out their newly gained skills in a full-stack format.

The bootcamp also offers an elective; a coding masterclass conducted online by qualified Caltech instructors. Students learn about the latest advances in the field of web development.

The coding bootcamp also provides students with the following benefits:

• Access to Simplilearn's Career Services resource helps new graduates get noticed by the top companies hiring developers.
• A certificate that shows you completed the Caltech CTME Bootcamp.
• The chance to earn up to 17 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from Caltech CTME.
• Membership in Caltech’s CTME Circle.
• An online convocation presented by Caltech’s CTME Program Director.
• The chance to work on industry-relevant hands-on projects.
• The opportunity to create your own GitHub portfolio. Students build a visually appealing Git portfolio with CSS and advanced HTML and populate it with their projects as part of their coding training. This exercise demonstrates their coding proficiency.
• A program transcript that covers the bootcamp’s whole learning path.
• And finally, if you request it, a physical certificate from Caltech CTME.

Here is a list of developer-related skills and tools bootcamp students will learn:

• Agile
• Java
• JavaScript
• HTML and CSS
• Angular
• MongoDB
• Maven
• JSP
• Spring
