With three decades in the global news business as a photojournalist, photo editor and manager, I had the opportunity to make a career transition and enroll in the Fullstack Bootcamp for web developers. While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines.

While in high school in the ‘60s I learned Fortran and later as a web consultant at a photography school in Paris I worked on SEO visibility in the early days of the internet in the ‘90s where HTML pages had to be tweaked to the algorithms of the different competing search engines. In 2019 “Le Wagon” was my personal pivot, a challenge to learn how to code during their 9-week bootcamp bringing people from various professions and backgrounds into a dynamic environment with the goal of working in the start-up economy.
Learning at the bootcamp was intense - daily presentations to learn code, followed by exercises working with a different buddy each day, ending with a hour-long ‘live code’ session. And flash cards to review the course content each day. By the end of the second week, many of us were dreaming code in our sleep. An excellent teaching staff and a pedagogical program that has proven itself since the creation of ‘Le Wagon’. They have developed an environment where students of all technical levels can learn the tools needed to build web applications. Just excellent !
As “Le Wagon” simply states, “Change your life, learn to code”.- ThomasStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 28, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

wahou experience
Leaving aside my former job in finance, I decided to take part in the adventure “Le Wagon” in January 2020: an immersion into the world of tech to learn how to code!
9 weeks in a batch of 30 people from all walks of life in a studious and ultra positive atmosphere. And that’s what Le Wagon is all about: mothers, students, car salesmen, costume designers, lighting designers? All at the same level.

9 weeks in a batch of 30 people from all walks of life in a studious and ultra positive atmosphere. And that’s what Le Wagon is all about: mothers, students, car salesmen, costume designers, lighting designers? All at the same level.
We talked about database, algorithm, back-end, front-end, MVC, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, Postgresql, Heroku and many more! A lot of terms that were not very well known at the beginning but that have no more secrets for me today.
But we worked a lot, really, to finally succeed in creating a web app project in groups. I wouldn’t have imagined at the beginning to succeed in all this. Having worked in management control for several years, I can say that my reconversion is well under way!
But to achieve this, we had excellent teachers and a very operational and highly effective teaching approach.
Thank you to the whole team of Le Wagon Paris for their kindness, their good mood and for all the beers :)
I’m very happy to be part of Le Wagon alumni, a huge community! and I encourage all those who want to learn to code to participate in Le Wagon adventure! - BenjaminGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing experience
Joining Le Wagon’s bootcamp was one of the best decision of my life. Learning code is difficult but at Le Wagon everything was made to help the students : the organization is perfect, the lessons are well explained and the teachers have a lot of experience. On top of that, the atmosphere is friendly and the afterworks really fun.I highly recommend to do it if you plan to learn coding ! - Dorian RocheFull stack developer • Student • ParisMay 27, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I chose "Le Wagon" training firstly because the program is very well constructed and the learning method in reverse pedagogy seems interesting to me. Besides, their learning platform is very well developed for this !

Secondly because the school is also recognized by employers, it has a good reputation and good reviews from students.
The training allowed me to gain in ease, in methodology and confidence, although the impostor syndrome still persists. The teachers and the TA are there to guide and support us. I also had very good encounters with my classmates, all from different backgrounds.
Today I am delighted to have completed the Wagon training and obtained my certification. A good part of my reconversion is completed !
Since the end of the training in March 2020, I have made a portfolio to apply and I continue to train and train again to make my junior profile more attractive.
I'm currently looking for my first job as a web developer. - JulesGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 24, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After attending the 9 weeks bootcamp I can say that Le Wagon exceeded by far all my expectations! It is both an amazing learning and human experience and seeing projects coming alive at the demo day is very rewarding as we can concretely assess our progress. Plus, the learning tool is really advanced and complete, you also get a lifelong access to it which is very useful when you want to review some tutorials. I would definitely recommend Le Wagon! - Olivier GodardGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisMay 23, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent bootcamp !
To remain competitive on the job market, we have to learn all along our career.
