Coding Temple Student Roadmap
This roadmap is a reference to the ideal progress you should have during the 6 months duration of the program. However you do not need to strictily follow this roadmap if you think this does not fit with your school/life balance. You can go as slow or fast as you want as long as you actually learn and finish in 6 months.
Remember
Remember to attend at least 6 whiteboard workshops throughout the 6 months, it means, at least 1 workshop every month to be able to graduate.

Core Program
This is the Core Program timeline, the number of weeks recommended for each module are not mandatory to follow but highly suggested if you want to keep a good pace in the program and finish within the 6 months.
When you get to the Frameworks and Intro to JavaScript module, we suggest you to start developing Codewars problems in JavaScript and reach the recommended points within the recommended weeks duration. When you get to the Intro to Python module you can develop the problems in Python to practice your coding skills.
Important: Throughout the program, you'll need to attend whiteboard workshops. We recommend attending one workshop per month, starting with beginner workshops in the first three months and moving to advanced workshops in the last three months. Each module includes a recommended workshop to help you stay on track.
