Course #803 consisted of 11 students. Finding a job was not my top priority. I wanted the ability to create a full-stack website out of my head.
Whilst I had plenty of experience, I did not know where to start, how to put a workable architecture together and deliver a finished website. This bootcamp helped me with everything and produced an end-to-end web app. It was very fast paced. I’ve waited 6 weeks before writing a review as I wanted to go over everything again at my own pace.
The concept of a bootcamp comes from the military: “Sweat saves blood.” The complete day-to-day curriculum is known up-front. Which means you must keep up. If not, you are coached to help you where you are weak. If you were stuck for more than 20 minutes, you could ask for help. So, with 5 minutes discussion you were on the move again instead of spending the rest of the day on google looking for answers. Everybody needs some help at some stage. It might sound tough but if you pass the pre-course work you should be fine, provided you work hard.
Most days follow the same pattern. The day starts with an instructor giving you a demo of the day’s topic. There is never any doubt that what you learn works because you see it happening before your very eyes. The rest of the day is spent solving a structured set of problems.
My mother often said that a bad workman always blames his tools. This is very true in the software world. However, “I saw it done this morning” is a powerful motive to get on with the job and stop doubting the tools. Buddy programming works very well. You can inspire each other and solve problems much more quickly.
For two weeks I accessed the course remotely. If you must know I was in London visiting my new grandchild. Nobody said the course was only for young people!
In the middle of the course I had my "senior moment." I forgot my Linux root password and had to re-install my entire laptop. Very embarrassing. However, due to the course design, everything was in the cloud so I lost no data.
The career week was awesome. I was able to redesign my CV. Some of the invited companies were my old employers so I was able to recommend them as good workplaces.

Le Wagon provides an amazing experience
I had such an amazing experience with this bootcamp. First of all, its manager is a SUPER leader. Milene has amazing leadership skills and helped everybody (and still does!) throughout the course. Second, the teachers are really good and since they are all alumni, they know exactly how desperate we are when doing our first mvc based app. Third, the sense of community is huge.

Second, the teachers are really good and since they are all alumni, they know exactly how desperate we are when doing our first mvc based app. Third, the sense of community is huge.
So, if you are looking to leverage your programming skills, or migrate to tech field, enroll yourself in one of Le Wagon's bootcamp. You can't go wrong and you'll surely learn lots of hard skills and soft skills.
Soft skills? Yeah! We are invited to pitch an idea to be developed as a final project. While developing it, we do it as teams, with scrum dailies and kanban. Also, throughout the journey, you learn you are not alone and if you are stuck on a problem, you can open a ticket with a TA (as you would schedule a call with a senior on your job).

I highly recommend Le Wagon for anyone wanting to learn how to code, no matter if you some or zero experience.
The pace is fast, yes, some days are tough, also yes, you will have moments where you feel overwhelmed, definitely yes, but seeing the amount of information you can absorb and what you can achieve in only 9 weeks is totally worth it.
Another thing that made this experience worth was the environment on campus. Coming from some difficult covid years, it felt so good to be able to be on campus and meet so many great individuals, from colleagues to teachers to staff and I will be forever thankful to all of them.

If you have questions at whatever point of the day, there are always very motivated teachers around you ready to jump in and help you find the solution/answers yourself with their guidence. Even after the bootcamp, you can remain part of the huge Le Wagon community which I find not only helpful, but I am also grateful for that. - Diana BarrosoGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BarcelonaVerified by LinkedInApr 22, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It seems impossible going from none coding experience to being able to build an app in just 9 weeks!; But it is indeed possible! At Le Wagon you’ll learn the foundations and you’ll develop a way of thinking in which is easier to learn any other programming language.
The quality of teachers and teacher assistants is extraordinary; whenever I had a doubt or I was confused with an exercise, I always received guidance and never felt uncomfortable asking for help. The Barcelona crew was always supportive, helpful, empathetic and kind. One of my favorite things about Le Wagon was that it felt as if we were a family, and even though that we were a super diverse group, we all came from different backgrounds and nationalities but among other things we had one special thing in common: We all wanted to change our life through learning to code. Le Wagon is amazing by itself, but having the opportunity to do the bootcamp in a vibrant city such as Barcelona is a great add on! - RayaneFull Stack Developer • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxVerified by GitHubApr 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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! - Diego MarrufoGraduate • Coding Bootcamp Madrid • MadridVerified by GitHubApr 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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.
