Vanilla Coding

Vanilla Coding is an 18-week, full stack software development bootcamp in Seoul, South Korea. Programs cover object-oriented programming, functional programming, asynchronous programming, recursion, and design patterns. Students will learn MVC pattern, Modern Frameworks, HTML5, and CSS3. They will also be taught JavaScript, Node.js & Express, and databases. Vanilla Coding is designed to create software developers who know how to use the evolving tools of framework software, not developers who depend on those tools.

The application process for Vanilla Coding begins by filling out a form on the company’s website. Potential students will be notified by email within 48 hours about whether they can move forward in the process. Applicants will then schedule an online video interview that will be conducted by program graduate currently working as a software engineer. Through the interview process, applicants may ask questions to ensure that Vanilla Coding is right for them. The last step is an in-person interview with a mentor who will assess the applicant's logic skills and basic programming knowledge. If all goes well, the applicant will be invited back within a week to learn onsite at Vanilla Coding’s Seoul campus.

Vanilla Coding’s chief instructor is Ken Huh. His work history includes working on backend development for Livestream by Vimeo.

Mentoring is available at Vanilla Coding’s office space 365 days a year. Their courses center on self-study, lecture style learning, and creating final projects which you can later use during your job search.
