How to Start a Career as a Software Developer

Employees with Software Development Skills are in High Demand.

Learning to code, even the fundamentals, is becoming an essential skill across all jobs and industries.

If you like solving problems, working with technology, and continuous learning—you should take the plunge and learn to code.

You can become a web developer without any prior coding knowledge.

In Nucamp’s beginner course, Web Development Fundamentals, you'll learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

1) What is Hypertext Markup Language? Think of HTML as the building blocks for a web page.

2) What are Cascading Style Sheets? Use CSS to make your web page standout with colors, formatting, and so many more visually appealing options.

3) What is JavaScript? Some say JavaScript is the language of the internet. Use it to make your web page dynamic and interactive.

Build your technical foundation with these three pillars of the internet and advance your career.

And if you like it, then take a deeper dive into our more advanced coding bootcamps.

Your only prerequisite is to know how to use a computer.

It's only a 4-week course, so it's a great way to dip your toe in to see if you'll enjoy coding as a career.

You won't be alone.

You'll have other classmates who are also learning web development.

Plus, a dedicated instructor to guide you to make sure you never feel like you're in over your head.

The support of your peers and instructor will keep you afloat.

The time commitment is 1-3 hours a day of self-paced study on your own schedule.

Then on Saturdays, you'll meet online with your instructor and classmates.

The part-time flexible schedule allows you to learn a new skill without quitting your current job.

And you avoid thousands of dollars of student debt with our affordable tuition of under $500.

Nucamp believes education should be accessible and affordable for everyone.

In today's globalized economy, competition for tech jobs comes not only from local talent but also from any software development company in India.

At Nucamp, we acknowledge this and prepare you to thrive in a highly competitive job market. 

If you're feeling like you're just treading water in your current job, consider making a career change.

Thousands of other Nucamp students already have.

Nucamp graduate, Dan Haas, was a research study coordinator in health care.

He's now a front-end developer designing user interfaces.
