Course Description:

Completely immerse yourself in to learning how to code in 12 weeks at our luxury code retreat.

Tomorrow’s web developers will be able to learn how to code in a unique, waterside residence just 30 minutes from London, eliminating the daily rat race that London’s commuters face. With over 8,500 square feet of indoor space there are multiple break out rooms for trainees to relax and work in. On the edge of the Lea Valley with protected wildlife preserves and stunning landscaped gardens trainees will have the space and tranquility to completely immerse themselves without distraction. Trainees will stay in a property renovated to a pristine standard with state of the art facilities including programmable lighting, a home cinema with surround sound system, and games room. The accommodation enjoys views over the gardens.

Dan Garland of We Got Coders, said: “We wanted to create an environment that is more conducive to learning without the stress and potential burnout associated with intensive learn to code programmes. We chose this location because it is strategically located between London’s Silicon Roundabout and Cambridge’s Silicon Fen and hope to leverage this to our trainees’ advantage. The tranquil and beautiful setting means trainees can truly immerse themselves in to learning to code and find their creative flow.”

Everything you need to know in order to become a successful web developer including Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Padrino, Databases & SQL, HTML5/CSS, Networking, JavaScript, Backbone.JS, Agile Web Development, Test-driven deployment and Git.

"Intensive - Rewarding - The Real Deal"

Why did I choose We Got Coders: After a thorough research of course providers it turned out they are the only ones offering a job placement upon successful course completion. Also the groups are smaller so you get more face time with your tutor (do not... Read More

What to Expect:
- This is the real deal, your pathway to become a Web Developer, the curriculum and Dan (your tutor) go the extra mile, you will be more prepared than the rest out there.
- Long working days (although now the course is being held at this luxury countryside retreat so you'll save tons of time and energy on travel and food)
- You will learn and work in a professional environment just like the real web developer teams do using all the best practises, testing, daily stand-ups and task delegation tools.
- You will be building up your final project alone, not in a group. Potential employers will like the sound of that!

Don't apply if:
- You are not ready to work hard. You will get all the help you need but you have to show determination.
- You want to learn PHP or some other programming language (Ruby On Rails is the core of the WGC Curriculum)
