Amazing experience at Le Wagon Lisbon
For 9 intensive weeks, I had the privilege of being part of the Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp at Le Wagon Lisbon. It was a truly mind-blowing, demanding, stimulating experience, and it is insane to see how much we have learned and progressed over only two months. I know what you are thinking, and no, I didn't have any sort of background in coding.

Before coming to Le Wagon, my knowledge of coding was very insufficient and pre-mature. Having the support of such knowledgeable and skilled teachers made learning so motivational and inspiring. Going through this journey with 19 other students, some with more, some with less coding experience than myself definitely made the experience easier. Big thank you to the whole team for all the support!

Not all details matter the same
A few days ago I read this tweet that said that perfectionism was the mistake of thinking that all details matter equally. For some reason, that has stucked with me. And I feel like it's a very appropriate quote to define what I like about Le Wagon: it's about the details that matter.

A few days ago I read this tweet that said that perfectionism was the mistake of thinking that all details matter equally. For some reason, that has stucked with me. And I feel like it's a very appropriate quote to define what I like about Le Wagon: it's about the details that matter.
We could talk in circles about learning or not learning Ruby. About focusing more on JavaScript. Maybe having a little more time with Rails outside of the frenzy of projects week. Fine. All of those would be valid observations.
But, to me, those are details that don't matter that much.
Because at the end of the day, I don't think those are the things that determine if doing Le Wagon is worth it. There's only so much you can do in 9 weeks, and I would have no other way of describing that time other than incredibly productive and exciting. While investigating other bootcamps many times I felt like they were selling a bit of a dream: 9 weeks and you will know everything. I always felt that Le Wagon was more honest and modest: in 9 weeks you will have solid fundamentals and yes, you will be ready to start working. As ready as you could ever be. Just be prepared to work for it and you will get all that you could ever need.
I am gonna tell you the details that do matter to me:
- That I felt and feel at home on campus
- That I had some of the best teachers of my life
- That I made friends that are dear to me
- That I was able to work on something that I could be proud of
- And yes, that I learned so much, so fast. And had a solid enough grasp to continue learning on my own.
From the start, I always felt that things in Le Wagon were made with passion and care. Maybe, just maybe I feel the need to emphasize this because every now and then the memories from Vietnam resurface: my university, high school and language classes. A small sense of dread and apathy in the curriculum and the activities that you did on your day to day. Places filled with wonderful teachers that could only do so much before they were crushed by the vile and dumb institution they were part of. And for no good reason.
I don't know how to explain the difference sometimes, maybe it's how well prepared all the activities and the platform is, maybe it's being surrounded by people with the same drive to learn that you have. But there is something very different and noticeable between the education that I received all my life and what I received in Le Wagon. Just a sense of "Oh, yeah. This was how education was supposed to be all along".
I liked that the classes were very well thought out. That you had exercises with their tests to check against. That you had a ticket system. The great teachers. The teachers taking a little bit of time to show us things that maybe weren't directly related to the course, but that were maybe as important. Those 15 mins nerding about keyboard shortcuts and VS Code extensions, or the history of web development. The odd interview of Matz, creator of Ruby, where he jokes about the inevitable demise of humans to Terminator. Or that one time where a teacher showed us Conway's game of life, and we felt a little bit prouder about being programmers too.
I know from learning Japanese that you don't *need* classes to learn something. You don't need university, you don't need a bootcamp.
But you do need people. People that care. People that are a joy to work with. And you do need some structure, a good routine and someone to point you in the right direction. And those are the things that you will always find in Le Wagon.

Web Dev Bootcamp
Such a great learning experience, the methodology used for learning coding is world-class! From knowing almost nothing about the subject to being able to build complex web-applications in a matter of 10 weeks. The school teaches Ruby on Rails which is a really intuitive language to learn, and gives you all the tools to become a professional developer. - Lucas VirgilGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BarcelonaVerified by GitHubApr 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great learning experience!
Working as a business consultant, I wanted to add technical assets to my skillset. Le Wagon was the perfect match: it allowed me to develop these skills, thanks to its great pedagogical system and supporting teachers and assistants. The part-time program also offered me the flexibility to combine with my full-time job. 100% would recommend! - SedrakNadzharyan • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by LinkedInApr 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

As a theatre producer entering into the world of tech, I never once felt out of place at LeWagon. The program sets an ambitious pace, starting from scratch and ending with two full scale projects in a team after just nine weeks. Choosing LeWagon was one of the greatest choices I could make, and I am coming out of it a different person. I am transformed not through losing my other skills and abilities in my previous work experience, but accumulating more skills that prepare me for the future. - Janaya GripperGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MontrealVerified by GitHubApr 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The Le Wagon Community is invaluable.
On the surface, Le Wagon and the other bootcamps may appear to be the same (except Le Wagon was shorter and less expensive than others, but in the end that wasn’t even the main reason I joined).

I went through the interview process for Le Wagon and another bootcamp at the exact same time and Le Wagon felt notably different from the start. I felt like I was treated more like a student than just a paying client. Joining Le Wagon and getting to know the staff and teachers only validated that I had chosen a good community with interesting people and teachers who were truly interested in me.
You probably already know that bootcamps can be intense and stressful. As expected, we learned a ton in a short period of time and worked on numerous individual challenges, as well as two large group projects. We covered wide range of topics (obviously, it’s full stack) and gained a lot of experience - building apps, working with peers of different skill levels, designing, debugging - while having lots of fun along the way. But Le Wagon wraps all of those expected benefits up with engaging, interesting, and friendly people who care. And then that is built on a large alumni base and an international presence. For me the community factor makes all the difference. - AlexanderGraduate • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • AmsterdamVerified by LinkedInApr 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fantastic, even for experienced programmers
I signed up with Le Wagon after teaching myself to code for just over a year and working out that Data Science was where I wanted to go.

I chose Le Wagon because it was the best in-person, Data Science course I could find in Amsterdam and the surrounding area that also had support for the job hunt afterwards. As a self-taught I arrived at the course already knowing much of the material and primarily looking to round off any sharp edges on my skills and take advantage of the job-market assistance and alumni network. I was not disappointed. Their lesson structure allows for a great range of student ability. Even coming into the course knowing 70% of the material I was still challenged every day! The teachers and students alike were great to be with and I remain in touch with many of them. Would absolutely recommend, even if you already have some of the course material under your belt. I would advise doing AS MUCH PREP WORK FOR THE COURSE YOU POSSIBLY CAN. But that’s just my approach. Best of luck with everything! - AfonsoStudent • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • LisbonVerified by GitHubApr 13, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
