Modern Graphics API Bootcamp (Live, Cohort-Based)

A 6-week, instructor-led live bootcamp (2 sessions/week, 2 hours each) teaching Vulkan + Metal from first principles for developers with graphics experience but outdated knowledge. Each cohort (20–30 students) works through a shared rendering engine codebase, submits weekly assignments (shader, synchronization, memory management), gets live code review, and ships a final 3D scene. Instructors are active graphics engineers from studios or engine teams.

COURSE

28 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Replaces 8–12 weeks of self-study + debugging with a structured, cohort-based learning path led by practitioners who ship real code. Peer learning (debugging together, code reviews in real time) accelerates understanding. Certificate + portfolio project (final scene) makes it easier for studios to hire or retrain. Costs $3–5k per person vs. $15–30k for hiring a contractor to migrate your codebase.

Target Audience

Mid-career game developers, graphics engineers, and engine programmers (5+ years experience) who know OpenGL/DirectX 11 but need to ship modern-API code; studios retraining internal teams for console/next-gen projects

Key Features

  • Live 2x/week instruction (recorded for async replay) covering Vulkan fundamentals, synchronization, memory, shader pipeline, Metal specifics
  • Shared GitHub repo with starter engine code; students extend it weekly
  • Weekly live code reviews (instructor + peer feedback on assignments)
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Zoom for live instruction + recording Discord for community GitHub for assignment submission + code review Stripe for payment processing

Original Problem

Developers struggle to understand and implement modern graphics programming without fragmented, outdated learning resources

Game developers, graphics engineers, and 3D software developers waste weeks piecing together outdated OpenGL tutorials, documentation, and Stack Overflow answers that don't reflect modern API best practices. Existing learning resources are scattered across abandoned blogs, outdated textbooks, and incomplete documentation, forcing developers to reverse-engineer solutions and debug cryptic rendering issues. This knowledge gap directly delays project timelines and increases development costs for studios and independent developers.
