I’m looking to apply to a coding boot-camp towards the end of 2021, and I would like to start preparing now. My first choice would be App Academy, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for Codecademy courses to assist. I’m looking to apply to App Academy’s 24 week program which focuses mainly on JavaScript and Python. I started the JavaScript course on Codecademy already but was wondering if there are any other courses I should focus on. I was also wondering the recommended time I should spend each day to prepare for a coding boot-camp. As I said before, I plan to start applying later next year, maybe around October or November. Thanks for any suggestions!

I went to App Academy’s website and found this in their “prepare section”:
Module 1: Intro Web Development and JavaScript Fundamentals
Primitive Data Types
Functions
Looping
Conditionals
Objects and Arrays
Decomposition
Abstraction
Module 2: Intro JavaScript + Bootcamp Practice Problems
Multi - Dimensional Arrays
Nested Loops
Array.prototype.slice()
Style
Scope
This
Module 3: Intermediate JavaScript + Practice Problems
Data Modeling
Callbacks
Higher - Order Functions
Asynchronous Programming
Closures
Module 4: Advanced JavaScript + Interview Techniques
Prototype Modification
Introduction to HTML
Test - Driven Development
Bootcamp Interview Prep
Based on all of this, I think this Codecademy courses could be helpful:
- Learn JavaScript
- Pass The Technical Interview with JavaScript
- Build Interactive websites with JavaScript
- Learn Testing for Web Development
- Learn HTML
And if you want to expand and cover more ground, you could also learn:
- Learn the Command Line
- Learn Git
- Python 3
- Learn Complex Data Structures (with Python)
- Learn Sorting algorithms (with Python)
- Learn Search Algorithms (with Python)
I hope that gives you at least a starting point! It will probably be helpful if you can find App Academy Alumni that can give you more insight into the learning process, the application, etc
