How the course works
We learn together, at a human pace
This course is designed to give you space to breathe, explore, and actually absorb what you’re learning. No cramming, no rushing – just steady, sustainable progress.
Online Onboarding Before we even meet, you’ll get access to our online onboarding (in the evening about an 1h). This gets you set up with everything you need – code editor installed, first concepts introduced, your first webpage created. By the time we meet in person, you’ll already feel a bit familiar with the territory.
In-Person Meetups (Every Other Week) Every two weeks, we come together for hands-on coding sessions. This is where theory becomes practice – you’ll write HTML, experiment with CSS, add JavaScript interactivity, troubleshoot together, ask questions, and see your creations come to life in the browser. These sessions are collaborative, supportive, and designed for learning by doing.
Self-Study Between Meetups The two weeks between each meetup are yours to explore at your own pace. Revisit concepts, try exercises, build your own pages, or simply let things sink in. This rhythm ensures you have time to actually process and integrate what you’re learning – no overwhelm, just steady growth.
The Result? A learning experience that respects your time, your pace, and your life outside this course. You’ll leave each meetup inspired and return with questions, progress, and curiosity for what’s next.
