Lighthouse Labs is excited to bring you an important announcement about a project that we’ve been working on for the past year: a brand new Full-stack Web Development Bootcamp curriculum!
The feedback of our students, mentors and employers has allowed us to continuously improve the quality of our education, and to stay ahead of the industry curve since first starting the bootcamp in 2013. By taking the cumulative learnings of those endless iterations, and by listening to the deafening demand from both alumni and the industry, we’re happy to introduce a new curriculum that dives deeper into JavaScript, provides improved quality of education and cutting edge content. Keep reading to learn more about what's new and what's the same, and click here for more in-depth curriculum details.
The new curriculum has a heavier focus on JavaScript to introduce the core principles of web development, best practices and problem solving. Students will learn newer technologies, like React and Automated Testing, and will still be introduced to Ruby on Rails, HTML/CSS and responsive design. As always, our students will graduate with a strong understanding of many languages and frameworks.
Our new prep course is now integrated into our student-made LMS called Compass. The course has a stronger emphasis on JavaScript, problem solving, and real-time feedback, and consists of 40-60 hours worth of work that is required to be completed before attending day one. We believe the content will leave students prepared and provide a firm foundation related to the material covered in the initial weeks of bootcamp.
Students will now build seven projects during bootcamp, including the final project -- ideated and coded from scratch for Demo Day! This means more engaging, productive assignments, as well as a more diverse portfolio. Students are expected to revisit projects throughout bootcamp and refactor + re-submit their code for additional review.
One of the most exciting aspects of the new curriculum is the fact that we're better equipped to receive and act on feedback from our students, mentors and employers. Our entire program is accessible by our education team through GitHub, so we're able to quickly respond to feedback and contributions from our community of developers. They can submit curriculum tweaks with a pull request, which allows for better visibility into the quality of our education, rapid iteration, and long-term agility.
- The core objective and goal of our program as well as the learning outcomes.
- Teaching that focuses on core web development skills & principles, best practices and problem solving.
- Students learning to build complete, interactive web applications through a project-based curriculum.
- Our teaching philosophy -- learning how to learn, never about learning specific languages or frameworks.
We still believe that learning more Rails or more JavaScript isn't what matters most. Being equipped to be a junior developer is what matters most. And that's what we prepare students to do, regardless of the tools we use to do it.

Lighthouse Labs is an incredible institution that really facilitated to my learning style (short attention span, need for real life implementation, craving for less theory and more exercises). Being a developer is not just about knowing how to write good code anymore, it's about working well in a team, being able to have competency around a business model of a company and being somebody that ...
