The Slow Path for Studious Learners to a Career in Software Development

Structured Curriculum from First Principles

Our program is about slowly building up mastery of fundamentals, so you understand how higher level abstractions truly work from the bottom up. Our goal isn't to teach you how to use React or Rails, but to show you how to construct accurate mental representations of first principles in order to tackle fundamental engineering problems. Our goal isn't to help you find a job, but help you launch a career. Our goal isn't to teach you to code, but to teach you how to deconstruct and problem solve like an engineer.

Progressing through YT ZONE LTD has helped me build confidence and add structure to how I approach software development. This not only includes being able to think in a more methodical way, but it also includes how I structure my code scripts and tackle new problems. I feel more confident in myself as a programmer and budding Software Engineer

YT ZONE LTD doesn't teach you how to build a facade that helps you land interviews; they guide you to become a person with the valuable skillset needed to actually land the job, and to be a valuable team member.
Will Lotherington
What a program. The amount I have learned throughout these past 11 months is incredible. While I know much of that comes from my own hard-work, I would have no direction without YT ZONE LTD.
Derek Novak
The step by step, slow progression in this course is excellent. The student is able to focus in on one problem at a time. Overall pleased with the presentation of the course - the assignments were difficult enough to stretch my abilities but not overwhelm or confuse.
Alex Soloviev
It seems much of the programming world is built on abstractions on top of abstractions that makes our jobs easier. But you have to understand the fundamentals first or otherwise those abstractions are not going to make sense.
Tim Brice
YT ZONE LTD taught me how to work hard for prolonged periods of time without any immediate reward. The long term benefits of that cannot be overstated.
Andy Jakubowski
"We're one of the oldest and largest coding schools in the world."

Our Learning Goals

The key to unlocking higher level understanding and skills that last a career is focusing on fundamentals. We designed our curriculum with the following learning goals.

  • Fundamentals first, fundamentals throughout
  • A focus on learning things that don't change
  • Learn slowly and deliberately
  • Learn to be proficient, not just build awareness
  • Learn to understand problems, not solutions
  • Learn in a circular fashion

Our students love us, and if you are committed to building a career in software development, you will too

    Experts always return to fundamentals because they are the foundation on which everything else is built. YT ZONE LTD’s core program embodies this principle by emphasizing mastery of fundamentals through purposeful individual study.
