Building Mobile Developers Who Actually Ship
Most bootcamps teach you to code. We teach you to build products that people use. Because there's a difference between writing functions and creating something that works in the real world.
Our twelve-month intensive starts in September 2025. It's not for everyone, and we won't pretend otherwise. But if you're serious about mobile development and ready to put in the work, we'll show you what matters.
What We Actually Believe In
These aren't motivational posters. They're how we run our program, teach our students, and make decisions when things get complicated.
Real Projects Beat Tutorials
You won't spend months on contrived exercises. From week six, you're working on actual client projects alongside our team. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes you'll struggle. That's the point.
Recent example: Three students built a inventory management app for a local retailer. They dealt with changing requirements, API limitations, and a tight deadline. The app launched in January 2025 and processes about 200 transactions daily.
Code Reviews That Help
We review every line you write during the first six months. Not to criticize, but because reading code is how you learn to write better code. Our reviewers are blunt but fair, and they'll explain their reasoning.
Recent example: A student's API integration looked fine on the surface. Reviewer caught a memory leak that would've crashed the app after extended use. Took forty minutes to explain why, and the student hasn't made that mistake since.
Context Matters More Than Syntax
Anyone can memorize Swift or Kotlin syntax. Understanding when to use which architectural pattern, how to balance performance with maintainability, and why certain decisions matter—that's what separates decent developers from ones clients want to hire again.
Recent example: During a payment feature implementation, we spent two hours discussing why some companies choose native over hybrid approaches. Not because there's one right answer, but because knowing the trade-offs matters.
What You'll Actually Learn
The curriculum changes based on what's actually being used in production. Right now, that means iOS and Android native development, with backend fundamentals and deployment skills mixed in.
You'll spend roughly 900 hours coding over twelve months. About 400 of those will be on your own projects, another 300 on client work, and the rest split between workshops and code reviews.
- Native iOS development with Swift and SwiftUI
- Android development using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
- RESTful API design and integration
- Database fundamentals and mobile data persistence
- Testing strategies that actually catch bugs
- Version control practices teams use daily
- App Store submission and review processes
How We Work With Students
Classes meet twice weekly for structured learning. The rest is project work, which you can do on your schedule as long as you hit deadlines.
Code reviews happen within 48 hours of submission. If something's unclear, you can book a thirty-minute session with whoever reviewed your work.
Honest Feedback Throughout
We'll tell you if you're falling behind. We'll also tell you when your work is good. Both matter. Monthly check-ins keep everyone on the same page about progress and expectations.
No Fake Job Guarantees
We can't promise you'll land a developer job after graduation. What we can do is teach you to build solid mobile apps, give you real project experience, and help you put together a portfolio that shows your actual capabilities.
Access to Real Tools
You'll use the same development environments, testing frameworks, and deployment tools that professional teams use. No simplified student versions or outdated software. If something breaks, you'll learn to troubleshoot it properly.
Who Teaches Here
Our instructors work on client projects when they're not teaching. That keeps their knowledge current and gives you access to people who deal with real-world development challenges regularly.
Linnea Bjørnstad
iOS Development Lead
Spent six years building fintech apps before joining us in 2023. Specializes in complex data synchronization and offline functionality. Her code reviews are thorough but helpful, and she's good at explaining architectural decisions.
Siobhan Rafferty
Android Architecture Instructor
Previously led mobile development at a logistics company with 50,000+ daily users. Joined our team in early 2024. She's particularly good at teaching performance optimization and debugging strategies that actually work under pressure.
Aoife Dunbar
Backend Integration Specialist
Worked on API design for healthcare systems before teaching here. She runs our backend modules and helps students understand how mobile apps fit into larger system architectures. Known for patient explanations of complex integration patterns.
Applications Open June 2025
We accept about twenty students for each cohort. The application includes a technical assessment and a conversation about your goals. If you're interested in the September 2025 start, reach out and we'll send you details when applications open.
