Programming bootcamp, Bandung, ninth cohort

Sixteen black blocks, one filled every week

Scroll and the task board above fills week by week: the week number, what you can build by the end of it, and how many hours are scheduled. The two hatched blocks are review weeks, and nothing new is taught in them.

What is taught, and what is not

All of it written on the task board before day one.

Web basics

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Git. Weeks one to five, 174 hours. It ends in three projects other people can open on their phones.

Servers and databases

Node, PostgreSQL, table design and login sessions. Weeks seven to eleven, 198 hours. You write your own migrations rather than copying them.

Testing and deployment

Automated tests, a CI pipeline, and deployment to a real server. Week thirteen, 42 hours. Every final project goes live on its own domain.

Reading other people's code

Week fourteen is spent inside a repository you did not write, finding one bug and sending the fix as a pull request.

Two review weeks

Weeks six and twelve teach nothing new. Four old projects are pulled apart, and the security holes you wrote yourself are the ones you patch.

What is not taught

No native Android or iOS, no machine learning, and no algorithm drills for big company interviews.

The admission path, four stages, twenty one days

Logic test online, 90 minutes

Twelve questions with no code, taken at home. There is no motivation interview. Forty percent pass, and you hear back within three days.

Take home task, seven days

Build a page that reads one JSON file and displays it. No frameworks allowed. We mark how you name your files, not how pretty it looks.

Technical interview, 45 minutes

You walk through your take home task line by line on a video call, then we ask for one small change and watch you make it.

Week one trial

The first week can be cancelled outright. Leave before day five and everything you paid comes back, with nothing billed afterwards.

Those three ways, on one month rail

I came in from a minimarket till and left as a junior programmer in Bandung on Rp5,800,000, so the income share only started four months later.Rizal, cohort six

The review weeks are why I stayed. My week three project was pulled apart and it turned out I had stored passwords in the database as they were typed.Nadia, cohort seven

Week fourteen was the hardest. Four people on one repository, and I found out nobody could read my code.Bayu, cohort five

I stopped in week nine because my father fell ill. The remaining instalments were cancelled without my asking twice, and my seat was held for the next cohort.Ayu, cohort eight

What people ask before applying

Do I have to quit my job?

Yes. Class runs 09.00 to 17.00, five days a week, for sixteen weeks. We tried evening classes in 2023 and closed them because only 4 of 19 people finished.

Do you guarantee a job?

No. The 2024 cohort had 24 people, 19 graduated, and 13 were working as programmers within six months. The rest are still looking or went back to their old field.

What if I have never written code?

More than half of each cohort starts that way. The entrance test is logic, not programming, and no question needs any programming language.

When does the income share end?

After 18 payments, or after Rp33,000,000 in total, or 36 months after graduation, whichever comes first. Months where you earn under Rp6,500,000 do not count.

What if I leave halfway?

Before day five everything is refunded. After that you pay for the weeks already run, at Rp1,530,000 a week, and the rest is cancelled.

Can I join from outside Bandung?

Yes, 6 of the 24 seats are fully remote on the same timetable. Saturday code review is still compulsory, and demo day in week sixteen has to be in Bandung.
