The full stack, not half a stack

Learn how modern applications fit together.

Skill Distillery’s curriculum connects object-oriented Java, databases, Spring, browser technologies, REST, and Angular through practical work—not disconnected tutorials.

01

Back-end foundations

Java, object-oriented programming, Java libraries, SQL, and Spring.

02

Front-end development

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, RESTful services, and Angular.

03

Applied problem solving

Data structures, algorithms, daily labs, and individual and team projects.

The Skill Distillery difference

Designed backward from the skills employers hire for.

Many programs emphasize only browser development. Skill Distillery combines Java and JavaScript so graduates can pursue a broader range of application development roles.

Robert T., Skill Distillery graduate
I attended SD back in 2020. I feel I got a thorough full stack education that prepared me well for my first software dev role.
Antionette P., Skill Distillery graduate
This course is challenging and very worth the effort. If you're the kind of person that picks your education for the challenge and quality of the curriculum, Skill Distillery is the right choice.
Celicia S., Skill Distillery graduate
I made my first git commit just one year ago, marking the start of a dramatic change in my career path. It was really tough and there were many times I didn't think I would cut it as a developer.
Robert Helmick, Skill Distillery graduate
I got hired by Google as a software engineer after attending this bootcamp. Sure, I had to do some extra self-study to pass the interviews, but this school is the reason I was familiar enough with Java fundamentals.
Josh Bone, Skill Distillery graduate
I didn't know this when I was choosing a coding bootcamp, but the two most popular and profitable languages to learn today are Java and Javascript.
