Overview
Welcome to CodeBridge Program
CodeBridge Program is a software development program designed for refugees and persons with disabilities. It runs from December 7, 2026 through June 2027.
Participants develop practical web development skills through guided lessons, hands-on exercises, and projects. Everyone follows shared foundations through January 16, 2027, then chooses Frontend or Backend. Specialization begins January 18, followed by a remote capstone in June and graduation on June 28–30, 2027.
Learning Outline
What You Will Learn
Development tools and collaboration: use Git and GitHub to manage code, work with branches, and collaborate through pull requests and code reviews.
Web foundations: build structured, responsive pages with HTML and CSS, with attention to accessibility and usability.
JavaScript and TypeScript: develop programming skills, handle events and data, and write typed application code.
Frontend development: build interactive interfaces with React, manage application state, and connect interfaces to APIs.
Backend development: use Java and Spring Boot to build services and REST APIs, applying object-oriented programming principles.
Databases: use SQL and relational databases to store, query, and manage application data.
Testing and application security: test application behavior, validate input, and learn authentication and authorization concepts.
Deployment and DevOps: learn Docker, environment configuration, and CI/CD workflows to prepare applications for deployment.
Practical projects: apply your chosen specialization, document your work, and present a capstone project.
