We kick Blok Tech @CMDA off with a JavaScript bootcamp before we start with Back-end, Front-end 2 and Project Tech. This bootcamp will refresh and build further on the knowledge acquired in Internetstandaarden, Inleiding Programmeren, and Blok Web. A strong foundation in JavaScript as an language will help you get up to speed with the other courses. This bootcamp is a combined two week effort of Front-end 2 and Back-end. Project Tech will run alongside the bootcamp. After the two week bootcamp both courses will start each with their own curriculum.
