The Origin Advantage

Our primary focus at Origin is to ensure that students leave our program with the knowledge and necessary skills to start a career as a software developer. We ask companies which skills would be most valuable to their team, which shapes our curriculum.

Twelve Weeks

Our course is 12 weeks of intensive study. Better yourself in weeks, not years.

Valuable Skills

We teach you the skills employers want. Become a valuable asset.

Job Placement

We have partnered with employers that are eager to hire our students.

Here's what you'll learn

HTML and CSS

HTML is used to build structured web content, while CSS is used to change the appearance of that content. Combining the two allows you to design great looking websites/applications.

Javascript

Javascript is an incredibly versatile language. It can be used to make web content interactive, but it can also be used to build mobile applications and even run web servers.

.NET Framework

The .NET Framework is a rapidly growing, open source set of tools built by Microsoft. You can build anything including web applications and iOS/Android/Windows Phone apps.

Database Technologies

Databases give applications a place to store and manage vast amounts of information. You'll learn the right tools for the job, such as SQL Server and MongoDB.

APIs

You'll learn how to connect your code to APIs to create new solutions. In one project, we'll build a web app that sends users an SMS using the Twilio API when their NBA team wins a game.

Real-time Applications

As internet connections get faster, the speed of communication between apps also gets faster. You'll learn how to combine Javascript with .NET to create realtime apps. (Including a Slack clone)

Source Control

Source control is a highly valued skill. Developers often use tools like Git or Mercurial on large projects, to track and merge changes made by all members of a team.

Test Driven Development

Testing gives you the peace of mind and the certainty that your code works. Test Driven Development guides you to write tests before code, to ensure a high level of quality.

How to Learn

The rapid growth of what can be accomplished with technology means you should never stop learning. We'll teach you how to research and keep your skills sharp beyond graduation.

Here's how you'll learn it

Daily Classes

In class you will learn how to code and rack up a minimum of 500 hours of coding.

Projects

You'll be assigned projects that are relevant to topics you learn in meetups. You'll work both on your own and as part of a team.

One-on-One Sessions

Weekly one-on-one meetings with a mentor vested in helping you succeed both during and after the course.
