why learn from awesome inc u?

At Awesome Inc, everything we do starts with our Core Values. We care about people, and making a difference in our community. That's why we want to help everyone we can to learn the life changing skill of coding. And while doing that, we've seen that the best way to learn a new skill is to get the right help on your journey. It's so easy to waste time trying to learn something by yourself, constantly running into problems, and getting frustrated along the way, but we're here to help! With coaching from Senior Developers and a curriculum built for you, we're ready to meet you where you're at, even if you're at step 0.

what makes it awesome?

The best learning doesn't just happen when you're taught information. It comes when you connect with others who are learning alongside you. Intro to Web is designed to both teach you the skills, and foster connections. Intro also offers more flexibility as a part-time, evening course; It covers most of the introductory topics used in our more intensive Bootcamp program, but at a more manageable pace. It'll help you build a solid foundation in web development using technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. And if you don't even know what those are... it's ok!

Prior Awesome Inc students have come from a variety of backgrounds, including manufacturing, retail, design, food service, law, and healthcare. Classes are two nights per week, two hours per night, for nine weeks. In addition to in-class hours, our instructional team is available remotely for Q&A throughout the week via Slack.
