Jonathan Melin
He would still say it's "a work in-progress," but this student's creative take on a portfolio is impossible not to show off. As a result of his hard work he didn't last long on the job market!

Group Project
BootcampXchange
BootcampXchange is the world's first marketplace for bootcamp graduates and employers. Built from the ground up using PHP and MySQL.
Built by Stephen and Stuart Tiedemann.
Group Project
DataSoap
Data Soap is a tool for call centers or anyone with huge databases of contacts (phone numbers) to scrub their data set against the national "no call" list. This is a cause we can get behind! Built by Houston developers Karissa (BI Developer @ Vista Energy Marketing) and Deepak (Data Analyst @ Clockwork Solutions) as their first front-end group project.

A Day in the Life
"Talk is cheap. Show me the code."
-Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, Git, and the idea of Open-Source.
9:00am
Morning Class
Pour yourself some coffee and get to work! We may kick off with some algorithmic exercises, a little paired-programming, or a full-fledged project to start the day. Whether coding solo or as part of a SCRUM team, you'll build fully-functional sites and applications that you'll be proud to show off to your (occasionally under-interested) friends and family!
12:00pm
Lunch Break
We only stop because we have to! Relax in the classroom, take lunch in the kitchen, or explore what our awesome neighborhoods have to offer. Both our Atlanta and Houston campuses have great amenities to take advantage of, from a killer courtyard at Headquarters Houston to free yoga on the rooftop patio at Atlanta Tech Village. You'll find yourself cracking code-jokes in no time as you get to know the classmates you'll be keeping up with throughout your careers.
1:00pm
Afternoon Class / Lab
After lunch, the instructor might plow ahead if we're just starting a new technology, or students might be assigned additional requirements pushing the morning project further. The instructor is always present and helping when roadblocks are encountered, but students are encouraged to find and implement solutions themselves. Software development requires consistent learning and problem solving; our program is here to teach you the best way to teach yourself.
4:00pm
Not Done Yet!
This program isn't a walk in the park, and after a full day of coding our students are charged with completing additional homework designed to push their abilities as far as possible given such a condensed amount of time. This commitment of time and energy requires a certain level of aptitude and will-power that we do our best to identify in our selective admissions process.
This 7 week, rotating learning track is available for current students and alumni. Students have the option to participate in additional evening classes with subject-matter experts, either in parallel or with a later cohort. Concepts rotate with different cohorts and include Computer Science ("CS") Fundamentals + Code Challenge Preparation, User Interface ("UI") Design, Cross-platform Mobile Development with Ionic, or iOS App Development. Nearly every software engineer has heard the interview question, "Do you have experience with ___?"
This is our way of filling in the blank!
On To The Tech
At DigitalCrafts, you will learn the most cutting edge technologies for the job market today. More importantly, you'll learn how to stay cutting edge for the job market tomorrow.
We constantly update our curriculum in response to job market and technology trends. As such, this list is subject to change.

How Do Electives Work?
Build up your developer toolbox.
As an engineer, the more exposure you have to different technologies and disciplines, the more you will be able to accomplish without the help of outside specialists. This is especially true for entrepreneurial endeavours, and many of our students have aspirations of starting their own or working with an exciting startup.
We rotate our elective tracks periodically, both in response to our observations in the job market and in an effort to provide myriad learning opportuntities for students and alumni. We only run one elective at a time, and graduates are always welcome to come back for whichever tracks might interest them.

Computer Science Fundamentals
+ Code Challenge Preparation (Current Track)
We polled our current students and alumni on which elective track we should launch next, and here’s the winner. Most of our students come here to launch a new career as a developer, and that’s not easy. On top of everything we cover in class, there are countless job applications, follow ups, and of course…the interviews.
Technical interviews can be intimidating, and though we’ll cover some basic algorithms and challenges in our core curriculum, there’s no such thing as too much preparation. If your goal is to land an entry-level developer role, this track is for you: computer science fundamentals, advanced white boarding challenges, algorithmic exercises, and more.

User Interface ("UI") Design
Next Rotation TBA
An application can have the best back-end code in the business, but its success often hinges on the design and user experience of its users. Does a site look clean and modern? Is it easy and pleasant to use? Does it provide value to the user? Learn how to approach your projects with these questions in mind, and strive to make the answer "yes" to all of them!
You'll work with prototyping tools like Balsamiq or InVision, and learn how to go from idea to visualization to design. Using industry standard tools like Sketch, you'll work on bridging the gap from wireframes to production-ready assets. We can't turn you into a full-blown UI/UX designer in 30 hours, but look around for developer openings and notice how many posts include "UI/UX design a huge plus!"
-
Swift & Native iOS App Development
Next Rotation TBA
Under the guidance of an industry expert, you'll learn the ins and outs of Swift, Apple's new programming language, and the techniques and technologies that power all your favorite iPhone apps. Set up your development toolbox and begin mastering Xcode, Apple's IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
You'll work with Github for version control and use Storyboards and Autolayout to create apps that look great on any Apple device. It's a cool feeling to have your friends and family download and use an app you built by yourself. We're excited to help give you the tools you need to put your ideas in their hands.
