Learn Back End Development at These 49 Back End Development Bootcamps

During the pandemic I started learning some MATLAB so I could try building my own tools. It became a minor obsession. I was listening to podcasts about it, taking classes, watching videos, and staying up way too late. 

Last November I subbed for a guy at a theater who was leaving to take a coding bootcamp. I was like, wait, a what camp? You mean I can learn how to do this coding thing for real?

Last week I launched my app, built from the ground up in Java and Spring, with the things I learned from Coding Nomads. Feels great!

Coding Nomads has been great. I liked it so much that I started their Javascript course recently. Here's what the founder said about my capstone project: "Your capstone is among the best we've ever seen here at CodingNomads and we've worked with hundreds of students. So, job well done!"

My intention is not to leave pro audio, but I do see software development as my next career act. Ideally, I'd like to keep building Tracebook and SubAligner, while doing freelance development work for manufacturers, AV companies, and the live event industry.
I want to say a huge thank you to my wife, Elis, who is/was patient with my new obsession and all of the friends who I haven't reached out to a while. Thanks for your support! ❤️

4 weeks of intensive courses on data product management : from discovery to large overview. 
I really enjoyed my time at Artefact school of data. 
The welcoming atmosphere, the training conditions, and the course material was impeccable. 
As for the trainers, they had a high level of expertise, and were always available to answer questions and provide support. 

The pedagogical framework is complete, covering theory, methods, and practical cases. I suggest they include less Maths & more product management feedbacks & case studies. 
I definitely learned a lot & recommend this course. 

 Before enrolling at The Jump, I was working in hospitality for several years. I joined The Jump’s full-time immersive full-stack software engineer bootcamp with the goal of changing to a career in software engineering. 

My experience at The Jump was great overall. The bootcamp not only sharpened my skills in modern web technologies but also equipped me with a strong foundation in JavaScript. The instructors are knowledgeable and exceptionally supportive, providing personalised guidance throughout the course. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced, collaborative environment at The Jump. Working on projects that simulated real-world challenges was exciting and provided me with a deep understanding of the tech industry. It was in these intense, hands-on projects that I truly found my passion for technology and coding. 

Choosing The Jump was one of the best decisions I have made for my career in technology. It has truly set me on a new path, and I am excited to see where my new skills will take me next. 

Nuova Speranza - meine Reise zum Regenbogen. 

Nuova Speranza, so mein Desktop Hintergrund und DCI Mantra, in Anlehnung an einen meiner fantastischen Lehrer mit biografischer Verbindung nach Sardinien (sentimental bewundernde Grüße an Giaco und Rami, an Gaël, Anton, Nicole, Louisa, Ash, Metin, Albert, ...). Denn genau DAS beschreibt umfassend auf das Maximum reduziert in zwei Worten meine durchgehend/ausnahmslos positive Erfahrung mit diesem auf so vielfältige Weise großartigen Bildungsträger.

Nuova Speranza.

"Neue Hoffnung" also. Im Sinne von neuen, tragfähigen beruflichen Perspektiven, die vor meiner DCI experience schlicht nicht vorstellbar gewesen sind - und das war nur der Einstieg. 

Mit Bewilligen der Fortbildung durch die Agentur gab es nach gefühlten Nanosekunden auch schon ein detailliertes Kursangebot per Mail gefolgt von einem Anruf meines DCI-Bildungsberaters Bogdan Cosma., der Kursdetails nicht nur leicht verständlich erklärte, sondern in beeindruckend liebenswürdiger Geduld aber auch jede Frage sofort kompetent beantwortete, gar anbot, man könne ihn jederzeit mit jedem Kursanliegen anrufen selbst an Wochenenden. Ein schönes Beispiel für "normative Kraft des Faktischen", solches Engagement setzt Standards, schafft Erwartungen, ist Referenz, die andere erstmal erreichen müssen. So war Bogdan ganz nebenbei Markenbotschafter für DCI, sein Verhalten ließ einiges erhoffen für den inhaltlich durchaus sportlich-ambitionierten Kurs.

Diese positive Ahnung wurde dann ein ganzes Jahr lang weit übertroffen in einer mir davor nicht vorstellbaren Weise. 

Konkret bezogen auf DCI Staff: tatsächlich wären mir in durchaus abwechslungsreicher beruflicher Vita nie zuvor engagiertere Mitarbeiter:innen begegnet, die einen in jeder Form, jeder Funktion, in jedem denkbaren Kursaspekt, bei allen Schwierigkeiten bestmöglich unterstützt haben weit über die eigene Stellenbeschreibung hinaus. Genuin glaubwürdig authentisch mit Herzblut Lichtjahre über "Dienst nach Vorschrift" hinaus. 
Tatsächlich alle, denen ich das Privileg hatte, zu begegnen. 

Sie wollen Deinen Erfolg. 

Wenn Du also das tolle Privileg einer bewilligten Fortbildung im Digitalbereich hast, wirst Du einen qualifizierteren, philanthropischeren, engagierteren Bildungsträger kaum finden können. 

Idee und Konzept meines Kurses fand ich ohnehin super, sie entsprechen meinen Idealen von einer knallbunten Welt der Gleichen, die in liebevollem Respekt einander wertschätzend unterstützen. Was auch sonst. So hat man schlicht mehr Spaß. 

Von der Idee zur Tat:
Die konkrete Umsetzung schöner Ideale in gelebten Kursalltag fand dann auch konsequent statt, es war angenehmer Spiritus Rector des täglichen Miteinanders und machte den Stress sehr vielen Lernens neuer, bisweilen komplizierter Inhalte deutlich einfacher. 

Wenn auch nicht unbedingt einfach:
Der Kurs insgesamt ist durchaus anstrengend und fordernd, konnte mich an Grenzen bringen, was Leben ja erst spannend macht. Grenzen finden, überwinden, sich entwickeln. 
Seriöse Ambition und Motivation sind unbedingt erforderlich für erfolgreiches Bestehen. 

Eine tolle, manchmal schwierige, aber immer inspirierende Erfahrung mit wunderbar verschiedenen, klugen, anregenden Menschen, die ich nicht missen möchte.

Ob DU dafür geeignet bist im Sinne von "ist es meine Tasse Tee", lässt sich prima herausfinden im "Orientierungskurs" genannten Eingangsmodul von ca. 4 Wochen Dauer, in den einem verschiedene Aspekte des Web Developments näher gebracht werden. Das macht allen Beteiligten, also auch Dir, die Entscheidung leichter. 

Hast Du Dich für den Kurs entschieden und qualifiziert, erwarten Dich außer dem Tsunami neuen Fachwissens über modernes Web Development, das täglich mit praktischen Übungen vertieft wird, weitere klug konzipierte, praxisorientierte Module, die Dir den Einstieg in Dein späteres berufliches Setting erleichtern. 

Neben erwartbaren "how to" - Aspekten also (wie CD/Ci, git Workflow, Microservices vs. monolithic approach, Datenbankanbindungen ans selbst entworfene Frontend, Aufbau, Architektur, Gestaltung einer performant skalierbaren web application mit on demand rendered functionality etc.) noch die Vermittlung und das Üben sehr hilfreicher Softskills, die über Deinen späteren Erfolg entscheiden können. Alles im Team natürlich, wie es später auch wahrscheinlich im Job zu erwarten ist. 
Das Ganze spielerisch mit viel Lachen, dabei didaktisch klug wie inspirierend aufbereitet. 

Schließlich war noch Erwerb oder Vertiefen von Sprachkompetenz Teil des Pflichtprogrammes, in unserem Fall Deutsch oder Englisch. 

Schul- und Unibesuch sind bei mir nun schon einige Sommer her, aber ich kann mich nicht erinnern, je so komprimiert gelernt zu haben auf so vielfältige Weise, wie in diesem Kurs. 

Was gab es alles zu lernen, wen alles kennenzulernen. Eine tolle Erfahrung. 

Abschließend wünsche ich noch möglichst vielen Privilegierten nach mir diese sehr außergewöhnliche und schöne Gelegenheit zur Entwicklung eigenen Potentials, ihnen selbst und der Gesellschaft zum Gewinn. 

Fertig. Können wir jetzt endlich Coden?
:)

================================================================

Nuova Speranza – My Journey to the Rainbow

Nuova Speranza – this phrase adorns my desktop background and serves as my personal mantra, inspired by one of my fantastic teachers with biographical ties to Sardinia (sending heartfelt, admiring regards to Giaco and Rami, to Gaël, Anton, Nicole, Louisa, Ash, Metin, Albert, ...). These two simple words perfectly encapsulate, in the most concise manner possible, my consistently positive experience with this exceptional educational institution, which is outstanding in so many ways.

Nuova Speranza.

In other words, "New Hope" – representing new, sustainable career opportunities that were simply unimaginable to me prior to my DCI experience. And that was just the beginning.

Upon approval of the training program by the agency, it felt like mere seconds before I received a detailed course offer via email, swiftly followed by a call from my DCI educational advisor, Bogdan Cosma. Not only did he explain the course details in a clear and comprehensible manner, but he also exhibited remarkable patience and kindness, promptly and competently answering every question. He even offered his availability for any course-related inquiries, including weekends. A wonderful example of the "normative power of the factual": such dedication sets a standard, creates expectations, and establishes a benchmark that others must first strive to match. In doing so, Bogdan became a brand ambassador for DCI, his conduct inspiring confidence in what was already shaping up to be an ambitious and challenging course.

This initial positive impression was not only fulfilled but consistently exceeded over the course of a year in ways I had never imagined.

Specifically, in terms of DCI staff: in my varied professional career, I have never encountered more dedicated individuals. Regardless of their role, every staff member I had the privilege of engaging with provided optimal support in every conceivable aspect of the course and every difficulty that arose – far beyond the scope of their job descriptions. They were genuinely, authentically committed, demonstrating a passion that extended light-years beyond mere "duty by the book."

They genuinely want your success.

If you have the privilege of approved training in the digital field, you will struggle to find a more qualified, philanthropic, or dedicated educational institution than DCI.

The idea and concept of my course already resonated deeply with me, aligning perfectly with my ideals of a vibrant, inclusive world of equals who support each other with loving respect. What else could one wish for? It simply makes life more enjoyable.

From theory to practice:
 The consistent implementation of these beautiful ideals into the daily course routine was a constant theme. This uplifting spiritus rector of our interactions made the stress of intensive learning – including occasionally complex new material – far more manageable.

That being said, it was not always easy:
 The course as a whole is quite demanding and challenging. It pushed me to my limits, which is precisely what makes life interesting. Finding boundaries, overcoming them, and evolving. Serious ambition and motivation are absolutely essential to succeed.

It was an extraordinary, sometimes difficult, but always inspiring experience with wonderfully diverse, intelligent, and engaging people I am grateful to have met.

Whether you are suited for this program – in the sense of “Is this my cup of tea?” – can be easily determined in the “Orientation Course,” an introductory module of approximately four weeks. This provides an overview of various aspects of web development, helping everyone involved – including you – make an informed decision.

If you decide to pursue and qualify for the course, you can expect not only a "tsunami" of new technical knowledge about modern web development, reinforced daily through practical exercises, but also additional well-designed, practice-oriented modules that will ease your transition into a professional setting.

In addition to the expected “how-to” aspects (such as CD/CI, Git workflow, microservices vs. monolithic architecture, connecting databases to self-designed frontends, building and structuring a scalable, high-performing web application with on-demand rendered functionality, etc.), you will also gain valuable soft skills. These are practiced extensively and can be critical to your success. Everything is, of course, team-based, as it is likely to be in your future workplace.
 All of this is presented in a playful, laughter-filled environment, with didactically clever and inspiring methods.

Finally, language skills were also part of the mandatory curriculum, in our case German or English.

It has been several years since my school and university days, but I cannot recall ever learning so much, so intensively, and in such a multifaceted way as I did in this course.

There was so much to learn, so many wonderful people to meet – a truly enriching experience.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that many more fortunate individuals after me will have this unique and beautiful opportunity to develop their potential, for their own benefit and that of society.

Done. Now, can we finally start coding? :)

Unlike many other courses I've taken, this was a far more intimate and catered experience, allowing me to be more proactive in my learning and project work. The course provides an in-depth dive into the product field, while examining real world examples and experiences. There is a lot of consideration into your own career path throughout, and they are committed to helping you reach your goals.

THS is the best place to enhance your coding skills. The whole journey in the Bootcamp was awesome. My instructors Prashanth, Pranish, and Akhil are excellent. They will teach you from every basic thing and will make you a professional.The atmosphere is very awesome. They
Motivated me in every way possible to improve myself.
Thanks to the whole team for improving my skills.

Metana is more than just a bootcamp, it's a life-changing experience. You'll not only gain technical skills, but you'll also join a vibrant community and become part of the exciting Web3 revolution. If you're looking for a career challenge and a chance to make a real impact, Metana is the answer.

I got a job four weeks after graduating. I was assisted in preparing for my interviews and got an interview through CodeSpace's employer network.
CodeSpace Academy’s curriculum and project learning structure are amazing, it helped me so much especially with structure within coding. The lecturers, coding coaches, and facilitators are SUPER amazing, very helpful and always pushing you to be better than before and responsible. 

Having recently completed the IOD Cybersecurity Boot Camp, I was extremely impressed by the program’s overall quality. The instructors and assistant instructors demonstrated exceptional expertise and real-world experience, which was reflected in every session. Their dedication to equipping students with practical skills and up-to-date industry insights stood out. The interactive, hands-on approach made even the most complex topics easy to understand and engaging. For anyone seeking to improve their cybersecurity knowledge in a structured and supportive environment, I would highly recommend this boot camp.

Elegí el curso de full stack porque me encanta programar y ¡la verdad es que no me arrepiento! Todo fue muy fácil desde el principio, la gente que me atendió fue súper amable y me ayudaron con todo. Los profes, Pablo y Luis, son unos cracks. Saben muchísimo y te lo explican de una forma que cualquiera entiende. Con mi experiencia previa en informática y tecnología, puedo asegurar que las peronas que trabajan en HACK A BOSS son auténticos profesionales.

I had a great experience attending the sessions. The faculty was great and supportive. The environment was electrifying. The content was curated in such a way that we could learn the concepts in a practical way. Loved the sessions!!

In just 14 days, I made months of progress, and met amazing people. Camp was a memorable experience and went way past my expectations, I highly recommend it! A few weeks after camp, I managed to ship a YouTube comment sentiment analysis app in just a few hours, and I'm on my way to building a few more ambitious SaaS!

My experience at the academy was incredibly enriching. The mentors were highly professional and offered continuous support. Their guidance significantly contributed to my learning, and I'm thankful for the valuable knowledge I acquired during my time there.

The Ruby on Rails bootcamp was an excellent experience, enriched by a fantastic team dynamic. The course offered a comprehensive blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, allowing me to thoroughly grasp Rails while working on real-world projects. The collaborative spirit within the team was a highlight, fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to deepen their expertise in web development with Rails, thanks to its top-notch instruction and exceptional team experience.

I learned coding at Nebula, I was part of the first bootcamp. It was not easy at the beginning but it was amazing to see all you can do with a few lines of codes and that changed everything. I also learned many other skills among them, problem solving which is very important because it will help you in your entire life either you are in technology or not. Great online environment and support learning, great teachers, great school.

The UC Chico Production Bulletin System class is a great tool for all upcoming prod coders. The production unit series of courses (TFDP 173) provides instruction and felt like an effective boot camp for what I'm getting into with studio system coding.

Tech Joy was the second bootcamp I enrolled in.  I was looking for a job and not having much luck, so I decided to try it because it included an internship.  It was worth every penny!  I was able to learn my second programming language as well as experienced being a part of a team, using a ticketing system and collaborating on GitHub.   The Discord server was also a great place for networking with other techies with its welcoming atmosphere.  Best of all, after being in the program for 7 months, I found a paid apprenticeship in tech!   I highly recommend Tech Joy Academy!
