There are many ways to code, much like the old saying about cats, but front-end web design is the perfect marriage of creativity and engineering.
When learning code for the first time, many new trainees find it daunting to learn without support. Just like any language, repetition and confirmation are just as important as understanding the function and exact formula to input.
Futures Fund Coding Boot Camp offers the ability to take your dreams and through practice, make them tangible, via a website.
Every semester, Futures Fund hosts a Capstone project. This project is the trainee's chance to present their work over the semester. Of course, it could be a standard site with a mock client and customer base, but more often than naught, the trainees at the Futures Fund use this as an opportunity to plot out their new business idea or help a family friend with their new ventures.
