Developer Basics
Learn all the basics to kickstart your learning journey with help from The Code Club
One million computer programming jobs are estimated to be created in the U.S. by 2020 - as well as 700,000 in Europe - thanks to huge growth in the tech sector.
Here at The Code Club, we pinpoint the skills you need to best suit your needs. That’s why we've developed the free basic developer program, which you can complete entirely online with the help of a mentor. This class is to get your basic skills up to par so you know if programming is for you and you get to learn a new skill.
If you want to:
If you are interested in learning how to code this is great place to start. There are lots of great resources online but not so many where you get to work directly with a mentor. If you have a programming related goal, such as, changing your career, making an app, or starting a tech business this is a great place to start. Before you transition into a specialization you need to learn some coding fundamentals.
It very much depends on you. The program usually takes around 3 weeks depending on how much time you study.
The best person to join is someone who is interested in learning how to code and someone who has little or no coding experience.
If you have a specific programming goal and you want help getting there Module 2 is a great way to do so. We pair you with an expert who will guide and help you reach your goal. Module 2 is also a good choice if you want to create accountability for yourself. If you want guidance and support on your learning journey module 2 is suggested.
This is a class for beginners. If you know the basics of Javascript, HTML and CSS I would suggest you check out module 2 for some advanced classes.

Our learning method is unique and revolves around two elements: your personal projects and mentoring time.
Projects
At The Code Club, learning is project-driven because that’s the best way to become proficient. Projects offer hands-on experience and you will get something to show off. The Basic Developer Program has project support from your mentor. You will have a choice of which project to work on. It’s up to you to go and make it.
Mentorship
During Module 1, you will be assigned a mentor who will offer support via weekly video conference sessions. This mentor will offer guidance on your projects, help answer questions, and guide you until you graduate. Our mentors are dedicated professionals who are experts in their field and have experience in sharing their know-how with our students.
According to study by Lauren Bidwell if you work with a mentor you will make more money, receive more promotions and be more satisfied in your career. Every week you will meet with a professional mentor. You will be guided and supported when you get stuck. Get access to our basic developer chat room support.
