OVERVIEW

Mobile Dev Corps is an intensive training program designed to prepare New Yorkers for careers in mobile development, one of the most in-demand skills in the tech ecosystem.

In direct response to industry feedback, the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline developed this program in partnership with some of the city's largest tech employers. Provided by the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline in partnership with The Flatiron School,

the 16-week program is provided free of cost to participants and includes a four-month on-campus training, and connection to jobs in technology.

The NYC Tech Talent Pipeline is a $10 million industry partnership designed to support the growth of the City’s tech sector and deliver quality jobs for New Yorkers and quality talent for New York’s businesses.

GOAL

The Mobile Dev Corps is an intensive program designed to train New Yorkers with no prior coding experience to become production-ready mobile developers.

The program is adapted from The Flatiron School's iOS Development Immersive — a course that has successfully trained students for the workforce and helped them find mobile development jobs.

DETAILS

The Mobile Dev Corps is full time and free of cost. All applicants must be able to make the full 16-week commitment followed by a rigorous job search. Because the program focuses heavily on collaboration, Corps Members are required to be on campus Monday through Friday, 9am to 6pm. Many Corps Members also choose to complete additional work on campus over the weekends.

Only 20 students will be selected for the class. Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements and go through a competitive screening process.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

After a competitive application process, 20 Corps Members will be admitted into the class beginning May 2016. All admitted Corps Members must commit to being on campus from 9am to 6pm, Monday — Friday, from May 9, 2016 through August 26, 2016 (dates subject to change).

Be a resident of NYC.

At least 18 years old.

Have no experience as a professional web or  mobile developer.

Earn less than $50,000 per year.

Meet all federal selective service requirements.

Be authorized to work in the United States.

What I love most about being a developer is the endless ability to create and produce solutions with worldwide impact.

ARE YOU A CORPS MEMBER?

Aptitude

Admitted applicants are smart. That said, code is a form of expression and creativity is just as important. Successful graduates of our programs have come from all kinds of backgrounds, including design, social work, activism, and more. Ultimately, students learn more from each other than from lectures. Smart students make great teachers.

Passion

There are lots of great reasons to learn how to program. You can get a great job at a tech startup or launch an app and be the next Mark Zuckerberg! While those are great goals, if that is what you are looking for, the Mobile Dev Corps is not for you. The Mobile Dev Corps approaches programming as a lifelong craft and career, rather than a means to an end. Corps Members must be passionate about being great developers and writing code that impacts people.

Culture

Learning is a team sport. We value differences in background and perspective. Previous graduates have comprised people from lots of different backgrounds and occupations. Above all, we're looking for people who are ready to work hard and be active members of the NY Teach Community.

The direction, the people, the full immersion, being able to focus all of your time on learning to code — it completely changed my life.

WHAT CORPS MEMBERS WILL LEARN

Corps Members will gain mobile development skills in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. 

This includes tools such as:

Objective-C

Even with Apple's new language, you still need to work with Objective-C, from ABAddressBookBuffer to Zoomscale.

Swift

Learn Swift alongside Objective-C so no matter what you're coding when you leave, you'll be comfortable.

Debugging & Xcode

You'll understand the nooks and crannies of Xcode, and learn to quickly squash bugs with Instruments and LLDB.

Universal Apps

Even your Dad has an iPad now. Learn how to combine layouts into one app, or split your app up for that extra special iPad experience.

SDKs

Build on the shoulders of giants. Integrate other's code into yours and say thanks with a Pull Request.

App Distribution

By the end of class, you'll have an app submitted to the App Store. Get ready to show it off to all your friends.

Mobile Design

A different form factor calls for different design fundamentals. Create apps that people want to use and explore.

Custom Interfaces

Just using default interfaces is boring. Turn your designer friends' wildest dreams into an customized interactive app.
