Why Of Contents
Metana
Everything about our Web Development course.

Personalized Instruction - Every week you will spend 30-60 minutes one-on-one
with an Expert Instructor, Who will do an expert review of the code you wrote for the
assignments. He or she will point out mistakes and suggest improvements. If
serious mistakes are found, you must go back and fix them. This is critical in
graduating the bootcamp. (If you don’t like taking direct feedback on how to
improve, Metana is not for you!)

Small Cohorts - In addition to your weekly personalized meeting, you will meet 1
hour per week with your cohort and the instructor to discuss what you learned, ask
hard questions, discuss crypto news, and generally have an awesome discussion
with smart and passionate people. Each cohort has a hard cap of 10, and we
frequently make it smaller. You will be surrounded by like-minded people who help
keep you accountable and stay on track.

Hands-on Emphasis - There is no tutorial hell with Metana. At least 80% of your
learning hours will be spent coding or hacking.

Extremely Rigorous Curriculum - Although 80% is practice, the remaining 20% of

theory matters too. We don’t see theory and practice as either or. We want you to
know the fundamentals and the minute details of how things work.

Why does Metana teach Full Stack JavaScript?
The future of web development has moved toward sophisticated, responsive, and
dynamic single-page applications running in the browser. Apps like Gmail, Asana,
Trello, Facebook, and Google Maps have redefined what users expect from web
applications and what developers need to deliver. Another plus point is that once you
master JS, you'll be eligible to join Metana's advanced solidity bootcamp.

After observing these trends, plus conducting lots of research and conversations with
industry experts, we’ve come to the conclusion that full-stack JavaScript is the future
of web development. Consequently, it is what we primarily immerse our students in at
Metana.

What about Ruby on Rails, Python, or other engineering languages? Why

are other schools teaching these—or a combination of these—instead?

Ruby on Rails has been instrumental in consolidating many best practices in back-end
web development—making it easier for developers to build large sites organized.
Meanwhile, Python has completely revolutionized the way sites record and use
data—and we do teach Python foundational skills in our Data Analytics bootcamps.

However, research and use cases show that today’s web runs on highly interactive
and responsive experiences that don’t require a page refresh at every step. As a result,
single-page applications (SPAs) written in JavaScript using frameworks like React or
Vue.js make JavaScript one of the best programming languages to learn.

JavaScript also offers professional advantages over other languages. Metana

graduates are well-rounded coders with both a thorough understanding of the full
stack and programming concepts in general. We’ve learned through years of tech
education that students may more easily understand and master other coding
languages once they’ve learned full-stack JavaScript. This gives our graduates a more
in-demand skill set that separates them from the competition and widens the range of
coding job types they’re qualified for.

24
What is the remote study experience like in the Software Engineering
Bootcamp?
All our coding bootcamps are thorough, comprehensive, immersive, and rigorous.
We’re backed by multi-year experience in online tech training to deliver consistent,
in-demand coding curricula and digital learning tools in a remote environment.

Specifically, the Software Engineering Bootcamp is designed to support you in

leveling up your coding skills, building a robust portfolio, and launching a career in
tech.

What is the format of the software engineering bootcamp? Is the

bootcamp online or in-person?
Metana's Full stack software engineering bootcamp is a 4-month (6 Months Part time)
program delivered in online sessions. Participants will have access to online course
materials and lectures.

Who should join this bootcamp?

Both intermediate and beginner coders are welcome. No matter where you are in
your coding journey, you can hone the skills, knowledge, and practical experience of a
professional web developer with Metana.

What is the time commitment for the bootcamp?

For the full-time program, with participants expected to devote approximately 40 hours
per week to coursework and projects.

If done part time, 20-30 hours per week is sufficient.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the bootcamp?

Yes, participants who successfully complete the bootcamp will receive a certificate of
completion.

25
Are there any prerequisites for the bootcamp?
You must be proficient in English.

Is financial assistance available for the bootcamp?

Some scholarships and financial assistance may be available for eligible participants.

How is artificial intelligence (Al) impacting the software engineering

profession?
The recent leap in artificial intelligence (Al) tools will enhance the productivity of the
software engineer like nothing before it. Perhaps the greatest recipients of this
technology will be our graduates, and those just starting out or entering the software
engineering field.

That is why we're proud to teach the Al-powered tool GitHub Copilot in our
instructor-taught curriculum in all our coding bootcamps. At Metana we believe that
new coders and new software engineers should learn foundational skills before being
introduced to these types of productivity-enhancing tools.

Do you teach anything related to Al in your coding bootcamps?

A BIG YES. We teach students how to use the Al-powered tool GitHub Copilot in all
our coding bootcamps. We teach students how to integrate Copilot into their software
development workflow during the later modules of all of our coding bootcamps, after
proficiency in programming has been obtained. Students will use this tool to build a
portfolio project (a non-trivial application) to demonstrate their ability to evaluate and
blend Al-generated code with their own.

Our instructional teams, which are composed of industry veterans, have managed the
responsible use of productivity-enhancement tools throughout their careers and are
well-equipped to teach this newest tool.
