You'll need stamina, you'll need to make lots (and I mean LOTS) of space for JavaScript in your brain and you'll fit better if your ego is small: Founders and Coders is very much about people working together under increasing - and for some, occasionally excruciating - pressure to build something shared. Of course there are stars and divas almost in every 16-strong (when I joined) cohort, but even they have to learn to collaborate and share their skills and knowledge. You'll need to be...
Pros
* The heterogeneity of the people: Founders and Coders is truly diverse. Dan Sofer, the original Founder, goes out of his way to ensure that applicants from under-represented (in tech) groups are given a fair chance to join and strives to...
Cons
* Heterogeneity in previous coding experience can mean that those who know more feel they're not learning enough, while the absolute beginners may feel they're being pushed too hard, too quickly. * Founders and Coders may emphasise...

Each course runs for sixteen weeks at Space4 in Finsbury Park, five days a week from 10:00 to 18:00 (we do not offer part-time or remote courses). During the first half of the course, you’ll spend eight weeks learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.JS and other basic building blocks of web development, as well as user-centred design and entrepreneurship, via workshops and team projects. During the second half of the course, you’ll tackle two extended team projects, one based on ideas pitched within the cohort and a final project for an external client that you will select as part of the Tech for Better programme. We have no paid teaching staff. While we do employ a part-time facilitator who coordinates course logistics, the course is primarily “peer-led.” You will learn to code by pair programming with a partner, working on team projects, and from “near-peer” mentorship by recent graduates. We support ourselves financially by acting as an employment agency. You can help us keep this programme free for future students by working with us to find employment, both after you graduate and throughout your career. Founders and Coders is a community founded on the principle of reciprocity, and we expect all graduates to contribute back to the viability and development of the programme. As a student, you will spend 1-2 evenings/month mentoring prospective applicants. When you graduate, you will spend at least one full week volunteering as a mentor during the first eight weeks of the following cohort.
