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

Code-Along 1: LSTM Text Generation

This code-along focuses on building LSTM-based text generation models, reinforcing concepts from Module 1.

Code-Along 2: Variational AutoEncoders (Optional - Legacy Material)

This session focuses on implementing variational autoencoders for generative modeling. Note that this code-along is based on legacy material and is optional, as it covers content not included in the current sprint modules. For additional context, you can review the legacy AutoEncoders material.
