Code-Alongs
What is a Code-Along?
Code-Alongs are live experiences taught by our instructors designed to prepare you for concepts found in the sprint challenges. They're your opportunity to work on complex job-ready problems in a live and engaging environment.
These sessions are 50 minutes in length and are offered seven days a week in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Because Code-Alongs delve deeper into a core competency, you will need to come to class prepared to have the best experience.
Ideal Code-Along Preparation Checklist
- Did you review the core competencies?
- Did you watch the guided projects?
- Did you finish your module projects?
Code-Along 1: Simple Linear Regression and Inference
This code-along focuses on practical applications of simple linear regression and inference, reinforcing concepts from Module 1. You'll work through realistic examples, applying your knowledge of testing for statistically significant associations between variables and conducting t-tests for slope parameters.
How to Prepare
- Review the inference for linear regression concepts from Module 1
- Watch the guided project video
- Complete your module project before attending
- Have Python and required libraries installed
Code-Along 2: Multiple Linear Regression
This session builds on Module 2's content, providing hands-on practice with multiple linear regression. You'll work with multiple predictor variables to model relationships, conduct t-tests to determine variable significance, and compare model fit using adjusted R-squared.
How to Prepare
- Review the multiple regression concepts from Module 2
- Watch the guided project video
- Complete your module project before attending
- Have Python and required libraries installed
Prepare for Success
The best Code-Along experiences happen when you are ready before coming to class. Your instructors created a starting point and a solution for each of your Code-Alongs to ensure you have what you need to succeed.
Make sure to review the relevant module materials before attending the code-along. This will help you get the most out of the session and be better prepared to tackle the challenges.
