Code Your Future Curriculum

Tools

Hugo - Static site generator
Hugo Pipes - Asset pipeline
Netlify - Hosting and deployment
GitHub - Source code repository
Bash - Bash script to create new module structures

Developing the source website

To install

brew install hugo

To run locally

Generate a token

You'll need to get a fine-grained GitHub API token which allows read-only access to all public CYF repos from this page.

Click "Generate new token", enter a token name (can be anything), and how long you want the token to last (if you're doing a one-off contribution, pick a short value; if you're going to be a regular contributor, maybe a longer value).

Make sure the Resource owner is your account if you have a choice.

The "Repository access" you need is "Public repositories (read-only)", and you don't need any account permissions:

Open to view screenshot of the required permissions

Set up `.env`

Copy the .env.example file over and name it .env. Edit the file and then change the line that says HUGO_CURRICULUM_GITHUB_BEARER_TOKEN to contain the token that you have generated earlier.

Run this command

Run this command in a terminal, substituting in the github API token you generated above:

npm i
npm run start:dev

If you find the build is very slow, and don't care about the issues being pulled into backlogs being precise, you can run:

npm run start:dev -- --environment issues-are-cached-and-incomplete

To create a new module

./create_module <module-name>

Linting

All CYF repos use the Prettier standard. However, Prettier doesn't have golang by default so you must install a plugin for it to work in VSCode. I've included it in the package.json.

Site Search

PageFind runs the search. https://pagefind.app/ It's in the build command on Netlify hugo && npx pagefind --source "public" If you need to develop on this locally, run:

rm -rf public &&
hugo && npx pagefind --site "public" --serve

And go to http://localhost:1414/ to see the PageFind-served site with search enabled; but there is no hot reload. You can run hugo on http://localhost:1313/ at the same time.

Code Your Future helps people who need it most to reach their goal of working in tech. Our innovative programme supports people all the way into secure employment as a software engineer.

Our trainees are people living in poverty, disabled people, long term unemployed, refugees, asylum seekers, ex-offenders, single parents, and anyone else facing material barriers to digital education and employment in tech.

Our graduates work in great companies including Capgemini, Deloitte, JP Morgan, Financial Times, AWS, Thoughtworks, the BBC, AND Digital and many more.

All our classes are free and our teachers are volunteers. Our volunteers are professionals working in the local tech sector and they lead our course delivery.

We build communities and networks of inclusion everywhere we go, bringing different worlds together, and integrating people into their local communities, teachers and learners both. We come together for a live session at the weekend, and trainees work through coursework and projects 20 hours a week, independently around their commitments, including day jobs.

CYF was founded by migrants for refugees, and now welcomes everyone facing material barriers to technical education. Starting with a class of 6 people in 2016, and growing every day, we have helped over 240 people start their career in tech.

Our Approach

Our PERN software development programme is part-time, vocational and practical. We teach functional programming with React, Jest, Postgres, Node, Express. We press hard on Agile, teamworking, conflict management, and self-study. We drill with Codewars problems and Codility tech tests for discipline and fluency, and encourage self-directed passion projects for creativity and innovation.

We do our work in public; our courses are free and open source and we develop them in public as FOSS projects on GitHub. Right here!

To graduate at CYF our trainees must deliver, deploy, and demo a working MVP of a full-stack web application, typically for a real NGO we partner with, in a cross-functional Agile team.
