Coding bootcamp is a short, intensive programming training to help you to focus on the important aspects and practices of coding. The goal of a coding bootcamp is to make you a confident and self-sufficient developer regardless of your educational background. This makes the bootcamp a tool for most people in switching careers to tech.
Web developer bootcamps have become a major part of the tech industry. Every big tech hub has at least a handful of them. Similar to military boot camps that turn normal citizens into combat troops, these short, intensive coding bootcamps can launch you from your current career to a new, tech-focused career in only a matter of weeks.
From the dawn of the industry in 2012 until now, programming bootcamps have gradually clawed their way into the mainstream despite the natural skepticism from the market—a typical challenge for new products—and have become an established contributor to the developer talent pipeline.
Success StoriesWith the passion for learning as your main driving force, coding bootcamp can make you a programmer in a matter of weeks. The curriculum is focused on the important aspects of programming and on how to be able to adjust with the curves of learning multiple languages and technologies.
Collaboration with other students can accelerate your learning. In a coding bootcamp environment, students can instantly talk about concepts and work together while they code.
In a coding bootcamp setting, you surround yourself with a learning environment packed with curriculum and push all other distractions off your schedule. With this intensive focus, you get a lot more done in less time and learn new technologies at a rate you wouldn’t think possible.
In a bootcamp, there is more structure to your learning. These are carefully planned out programs that can take months to complete, building up your skills one level of mastery at a time with the mentorship of knowledgeable instructors. This learning style gives you a big picture view and keeps you progressing forward, at a speed difficult to replicate by yourself.
When you join a coding bootcamp, you’re surrounded by people with the same goal as you: learn how to code. You immediately set foot into a network of developers-in-training with a similar skill set. This is important making a career switch, as you’ll organically create a professional network to leverage for more job opportunities.
Some of the most crucial services bootcamps provide are career guidance. Tech is a new industry for a lot of people and the ground rules for the job search change. What could pass as common wisdom in any other industry might not work when looking for a tech job! Bootcamps help you clear that job search clutter, find your top job prospects, and provide you with the tools to nail the interview.
When it comes to career switching, it’s hard to beat the immersive and collaborative environments you can get at a coding bootcamp, especially for people who don’t have a background in code. In just three months, a coding bootcamp can grant you more technical knowledge.
