FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete Bootcamp 1 first?

Strongly recommended. Bootcamp 2 builds directly on the prompting skills and design system you create in Bootcamp 1. If you already have strong prompt engineering fundamentals and a token-based design system in Figma, you can start here, but most students benefit from doing both in order.

I’ve never written a line of code. Can I still do this?

What tools do I need?

What’s the class size and format?

What if I miss a live session?

Will I actually ship something live?

Do I need to know React, Tailwind, or Next.js before starting?

“I'd never opened a terminal in my life. Four weeks later, I have a live portfolio on Vercel that I built myself. I still can't believe that sentence is true.”

“'Frames are divs. Auto-layout is flexbox.' That one sentence from Week 1 unlocked code for me. I'd been overthinking it for years.”

“My developers used to ignore half my redlines. Now I open a PR, point to the Tailwind token, and say 'this is the spec.' The arguments just stopped.”
