“Once I realized I had a passion for programming, WDI seemed like the perfect balance between trying to teach myself and going back to university. The curriculum and instructors were amazing and helped me gain the skills I needed to bring my ideas to life through code.”

At General Assembly, I was able to combine my experience in journalism with the programming skills I needed to take on a technical role in the growing field of data visualization.

We teach the skills you need to kickstart your career as a developer and a lifelong learner. From programming fundamentals to launching full-stack web apps, you'll learn to solve problems with code while applying industry best practices in a collaborative environment.
Understand how to set up your development environment, work efficiently as a developer, and make your projects a success. Learn programming fundamentals, along with the basics of computing, networks, and data structures.
Define what a user should be able to do with your app, appropriately model your data, develop simple wireframes, and learn to track a collaborative development process using version control.
Before you start working with cutting-edge libraries and frameworks, gain an understanding of how to write high-quality JavaScript code. Learn to build a dynamic, front-end to your web application using a modern JavaScript library, and use CSS to layout and style your application.
Build web applications from the ground up using Ruby on Rails, a modern web language and MVC framework. Build quality APIs using Node.js and integrate data from other apps (like Twitter or Yelp) into your project.
Learn to collaborate with others to produce high quality software as you work with a team to develop, maintain, change, and secure an application.

You'll complete several projects, including a primary portfolio project that will help you begin your job search with confidence. Check out an example of a past student project.
Dived.in is a web application built by London WDI alum George Grey. Designed to help scuba divers find great diving locations, George developed the application from the ground up using Rails and a front-end JavaScript framework.
Dived.in was developed to serve as a community resource for divers to share their experiences. As a community-moderated website, it would allow users to crowdsource their favorite dive sites, including relevant photos and tips.
George gathered feedback on his project idea by reviewing user stories, wireframes and his data model before developing his project. By working with instructors to scope out the basic functionality of their application, he was able to make sure he was tackling something that added value to his portfolio.
The core of the application was built using Ruby on Rails. George chose to incorporate a Facebook login to allows users to quickly sign up and participate in the site.
George incorporated JavaScript into his project, adding in additional frameworks in order to provide specific dynamic functionality. He also chose to also add responsive CSS to make the application usable on mobile and tablet devices.
