Learn Git
Don't be the developer that uses Git to simply add, commit, push, and pray. To truly be great you need to understand your tools.

I learned an awful lot about using git. I already had a bit of experience with using the porcelain, I'm glad we got to see and dive into the plumbing a bit as well. Overall this course is excellent!

Honestly I've been using git hub for a few months and learning git has made it so much easier to wrap my head around the general branches, commits, remotes, pushes, pulls, and pull requests! Definitely recommend!

I started this bootcamp with no real basis of coding knowledge. While asking my SWE friends, learning Git / version control was an important aspect in actually working as a developer so I'm glad this is in here. It provides a great basis for using Git.

Going from intimidated by git to implementing it in my workflow felt seamless. Learning it was so fun you don't even realize how much you are actually learning.

Got questions? We've got answers
Yes! It's free to create an account and start learning. You'll get all the immersive and interactive features for free for a few chapters. After that, if you still haven't paid for a membership, you'll be in read-only (content only) mode.
We use AI more than most tech companies - not just to build Boots, but also to assist us in our coding work... and we're still hiring developers!
The demand for technical talent isn't going away. Companies need developers that are AI savvy and can modernize their codebases. The way developers work is changing rapidly, but the demand for developers who can build great software remains high.
We teach software development skills for the modern AI assisted world.
It's completely up to you. The time it will take you to be "job ready" will depend on how much you already know, how often you study, and how long you study for. That said, the backend career path takes many people about 12 months.
Absolutely! If you built it, use it. You'll build several personal projects while completing our curriculum, and our final course about finding jobs will show you how to construct a job-ready portfolio.
We're not a $10,000 bootcamp.
We're not a $50,000 university degree.
We are a self-paced, gamified online learning platform for back-end web development. You can learn with us for the price of a good gym membership.
You can read all about our methodology here. In a nutshell, we're laser focused on teaching backend-development, which is somewhat of a rarity in online learning. We're also focused on solving what we believe is the hardest problem with online learning: boredom.
If you prefer coding rather than watching, and your struggle with online learning is staying motivated and engaged, we think you'll like learning with us.
