Everything you need to know about the technical setup for our programming courses starting in fall 2025

System Requirements & Setup

Getting started with programming doesn't require the most expensive computer, but having the right setup makes your learning journey much smoother. We've worked with hundreds of students over the years, and here's what actually matters.

  • Operating System
    Windows 10/11, macOS 10.15+, or any modern Linux distribution. Most students do perfectly fine with what they already have.
  • Memory (RAM)
    8GB minimum, 16GB recommended. Modern development tools can be memory-hungry, especially when running multiple applications.
  • Storage Space
    At least 50GB free space for development environments, project files, and course materials. SSD preferred for faster performance.
  • Internet Connection
    Stable broadband connection for video calls, downloading resources, and accessing online development tools.
  • Basic Hardware
    Working camera and microphone for group sessions. External mouse recommended for better navigation during coding.

Don't stress if your current setup isn't perfect. We'll help you optimize what you have and suggest affordable upgrades if needed. The most important thing is your enthusiasm to learn.

"The first week of any programming course can feel overwhelming. That's why we spend extra time making sure everyone's setup works perfectly before we dive into coding."

Ready to Get Started?

Our next programming fundamentals course begins in September 2025. We'll schedule a technical check session two weeks before the course starts to make sure your setup is ready.
