Question 1

Can I sign up and try Boot.dev for free?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Hasn't AI made learning to code obsolete?

Accepted Answer

We use AI more than most tech companies - not just to build Boots and the Training Grounds, but also to assist us in our coding work... and we're still hiring developers! The demand for technical talent hasn't gone 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, and also have some AI specific courses like how to build your own Agent.

Question 3

How long will it take to learn enough to be hired?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Should I include Boot.dev projects in my resume and portfolio?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What is Boot.dev? A bootcamp? An online school?

Accepted Answer

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 learning back-end web development and computer science. You can learn with us for the price of a gym membership.

Question 6

What makes Boot.dev different?

Accepted Answer

We focus on teaching backend-development and data-related skills, 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.

Some of the lessons are difficult but it starts off easy for all foundational knowledge for the language.

Wow.. not only was it super easyto understand but was REALLY fun.. didnt even know courses could be that fun 😂

Definitely a lot of value. But some concepts I needed to look up for a deeper explanation. The spell books I wish were more thorough. Overall it was still solid.

i learned a lot from this couse

Great to refresh your skills and keep them sharp

This course was a wonderful and relatively gentle introduction to Python. Lessons are perfectly bite-sized, I found no bugs in the course (kudos!) and it covers just enough material for someone new to the language to become dangerous 😃.

I think the course is a great starting point espescially for people that play video games, because it draws a lot of real life parallels to the code one writes, instead of just some code and you have no idea what it's used for.

It was a fun, simple, and worthwhile course. I would recommend.

this course could have included some challenging bugs or hard debugging quizzes that are asked in online assessments. but overall i think this course is only good to those people who do not know anything about programming, would not recommend it to people who are switching from other languages.

Mediocrity doesn't cut it anymore

The only way to become a great developer is to write a lot of code
