“Twenty-four people means the instructor noticed I had gone quiet in week five and emailed me. That is why I finished.”

Spring cohort
Before you apply
What if I cannot attend a live session?
Every session is recorded within the hour, and project review happens asynchronously. Most people miss one or two and still finish.
Is there a refund?
Full refund up to the end of week two, no questions asked. After that we prefer to move you to a later cohort.
How much time does it take?
Two hours live plus four to six hours of project work a week. People who treat it as less than that tend not to finish.
Do I need experience?
You should be comfortable writing code in any language. We do not teach programming; we teach what to build with it.
Applications close 1 September.
Two questions and a short written answer. We reply to everyone within four days.
