The advanced class pre-work assignment allows you to demonstrate a general knowledge of APIs. Since our classes are entirely online, we require applicants to complete this pre-work assignment so the applicant can show that they are prepared for an Advanced level class. Watch this short video to learn more about the Pre-Work Assignment portion of your application process:
As of 2025, there are four Advanced courses in our program.
- React.js
- Node.js/Express (React is a pre-requisite)
- Ruby on Rails (last class will be offered Summer 2025)
- Python
Your assignment must meet a specific set of requirements (listed in the Plan and Research instructions), but otherwise you are free to make your own creative design. Our recommended approach consists of two parts before you submit the assignment:
- Part 1 – Plan and Research
- Part 2 – Build and Test
- Submit your work
All three parts take most applicants about 20 hours to complete so plan your time! You have from now until the pre-work deadline for the trimester you’re applying for to complete and submit the assignment.
Please visit the Application Process page to see upcoming pre-work deadlines.
