Fullstack Academy New York’s part-time coding bootcamp. So you can keep living the life you have--and learn programming to build the life you want.
Download the New York Flex syllabus to see why this program is the one you’ve been looking for.
Fullstack Academy is one of the most challenging educational experiences you’ll ever have.
Our part-time coding bootcamp curriculum is built to:
Combine all that with top-notch career counseling, and you’ll graduate with the tech skills and career know-how to land your next position and build the career you want.
You don’t have to have worked in web development or gotten a degree in CS to be successful here. If you can be disciplined enough to learn the basics on your own and pass our assessment, then dedicate yourself to software engineering for 28 weeks, you can emerge with the training required to land a job in tech.
Fullstack Flex grads go on to get hired at:
From immense challenge to immense reward--with all the support you need along the way.
We take a holistic approach to learning.
Moving your career forward is about more than knowing how to do a job; it’s about knowing how to get a job--and having enough personal and professional support to make it happen.
So while you’ll definitely learn JavaScript here, the most important thing you’ll learn is how to learn JavaScript--so you can then go on to learn other languages throughout your career.
Every employer will use a different stack, and the stacks employers are using today won’t look anything like the ones in use a decade from now.
All of our hiring partners agree: JavaScript is in demand now, but an employee’s most important skill is the ability to learn new technology quickly. And by completing the part-time coding bootcamp at Fullstack Academy New York, you’ll prove you can do just that.
We don’t make you do it alone.
We provide a full suite of instructors, career counselors, program leads, and fellows--not to mention a cohort full of dedicated learners--to keep you motivated and inspire you to aim higher and work harder.
Our number one rule is “No assholes.”
We strive to create an inclusive environment where we acknowledge and work to reduce bias, discuss issues of inequality in the industry, offer advice for overcoming obstacles, and expose students to opportunities to change the culture of tech.
The folks you learn from and with will form the professional network that helps you find and get work. But more than that? They’ll be your friends. They’ll commiserate with you when times are tough, motivate you to keep pushing, and celebrate with you when you succeed.
The Flex Immersive at Fullstack Academy New York is divided into three stages over 28 weeks. See how the curriculum breaks down by moving the slider below.
Foundations is a 20- to 30-hour-per-week prep course that you will take remotely for the first 4 weeks. You will work through the Foundations material on your own pace, to get ready for the live portion of the immersive that starts in week 5.
In Foundations, you will develop a solid base of programming knowledge, allowing you to start the live portion of the course at an intermediate level, and at a fast pace.
After completing Foundations, you will have a firm grasp on the more advanced areas of JavaScript — including closure, scoping, prototypal inheritance and recursion. You will also understand the difference between front-end and back-end and be completely comfortable working in the web development environment, will be well versed in HTML & CSS, and will have built your first Node.js application.
This is one of the most intense phases of the program, when you will learn the bulk of our curriculum. You will study:
User expectations of Web and Mobile Applications have significantly increased in the last 10 years, and the sophistication of front-end development has increased to match it. You will study HTML5 and advanced CSS, and go beyond with modern technologies like React.
You will take your JavaScript skills to the back-end, with Node.js and the amazing ecosystem of libraries that have made JavaScript the leader in next-generation back-end web engineering. You will master the use of APIs to connect to vast amounts of user data.
You will master data persistence by building your own SQL database engine, learning about popular SQL databases like Postgres, and how to integrate these into your applications.
At this point, you will have a solid understanding of the core technologies taught in the immersive program. It is now time to put that knowledge to use by building fully functional web applications from scratch. The three portfolio projects you'll focus on are:
You will work in a group of 3-4 students to build an e-commerce site, and will build all the components of a web application from the ground up — including the front-end, back-end and database.
You will come up with an idea for a web or mobile application, and build it from scratch. You will take design considerations into account, like user experience and information architecture. You will learn new technologies or libraries in order to complete this project, which will help you learn how to learn new areas in software development.
You will work with a team of students to come up with an ambitious idea for an app, and build it out over 2 weeks. This will be the most impressive project in your portfolio, and will demonstrate your full understanding of software development and industry best-practices.

Portfolios
During the last week of classes, New York Flex Immersive graduates present their final of three projects to fellow classmates at an evening of demos, and can then use the full portfolio they’ve built to demonstrate their qualifications to employers.
Facilitated Connections
While many part-time coding bootcamp students are looking to either move up or move into a more technical role at their current place of work, other New York Flex Immersive grads are looking for new opportunities. That’s why we offer Flex grads the chance to attend Launch Day, our in-house job fair exclusively for Fullstack Academy and Grace Hopper grads. It’s a full afternoon of speed-interviews, plus a networking happy hour with 20-30 actively-hiring employer partners like Google, JPMorgan Chase, Zola, Black Rock, Data Dog, and many more.
Get the tools to build a long and successful career in software development.
We know learning doesn't end on graduation day. That’s why we’ve created the Masters Series, a collection of workshops and lectures designed to deepen your understanding of key computer science concepts and industry best practices. These materials give you the tools and confidence you need to keep moving forward in your new career.
