Back End Software Developer Bootcamp
Back end software developers are in charge of building applications that do the behind-the-scenes work. This typically involves receiving requests from a front end application, processing the request, reading and writing to a database, and responding back to requests from other applications.
This Back End Software Developer Bootcamp is designed to be accessible, flexible, and allow working professionals who are actively seeking a career change to do so. You do not need any prior coding experience. Students will complete an aptitude test prior to the first-class session.
Employment of software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers is projected to grow 22 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 189,200 openings for software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers are projected each year, on average, over the decade according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In this 18-week bootcamp, learn the skills and technologies necessary to enter the industry as a back end software developer, including Introduction to Java, Relational Databases with MySQL, and Web API Design with Spring Boot.
