7 JavaScript Projects Built by Bootcampers
9/18/2020
One trademark of a coding bootcamp is the project-based curriculum, which means students build many smaller projects throughout the bootcamp and one final capstone project, graduating with a full portfolio of web applications and mobile apps. Coding bootcamps prioritize teaching what the tech industry actually uses on the job today, so it’s no surprise that Full Stack JavaScript is the most common teaching language at coding bootcamps, used in 44% of Web Development courses. At Course Report, we’ve spotlighted so many JavaScript bootcamp alumni who have built innovative applications using these languages. Here’s a round-up of some of our favorite final projects! So let’s look at a few JavaScript projects built by bootcampers!

Schools and universities may be scrambling to figure out remote learning, but coding bootcamps have essentially been preparing for this since 2013. Online coding bootcamps already use Zoom video, Slack, GitHub, and VS Code Live Share for pair programming, online lectures, and to connect mentors and instructors with students. Of course, you can learn to code online – but it doesn’t stop there! Maybe you’ve needed to learn SQL for a while, or sharpen your data science skills, or wrap your head around UX Design. All of these digital skills are being taught online (not to mention, these are jobs that can be done remotely).
