Le Wagon

Why Le Wagon?

I've always been interested by computer sciences. I decided, a few months ago to apply at Le Wagon Bordeaux... And it was one of the best human and educational mission I have experienced so far.

This training has been structured in such a way, it gives a maximum of technical knowledge in a minimal amount of time. It has lots of advises, in order to give us a great autonomy in order to be efficient after the ned of the Bootcamp. The community worldwide approach is just perfect. That's mainly why I recommend Le Wagon.

In order to help you to understand what we are able to achieve after the nine weeks, I will explain more about the final project, which has been elaborated by Joseph Binyoum Bayemi and myself during the last two weeks in the Wagon.
O...

This is the training you have to do if you want to change your day to day and start a tech. way of working !
Working for 10 years as an Industrial Engineer, I moved to Bordeaux and wanted to make a real turn in my career.
Wagon allows me to do so, thanks to the quality of the trainings, the team of course and the tech culture.
In 9 weeks, you will learn how to build a website from the really beginning to the online version, knowing all the steps to do it in the best way, learning Ruby, Javascript, Html, Css, Ruby on Rails.
I have just finished my training and have so many projets in my head now possible.

Hi, i'm Corentin i was student at Le Wagon Bordeaux batch 127 in January 2018. I used to be an optician. I wanted to change my life because it was bored and had a passion for computer science. So I decided to learn to code to become Web Developer. I choose Le Wagon and i'm not disappointed because in two month i have learnt a lot of technical skills, languages and tips with qualify teachers. Our final project was amazing for very young developers like us. It's one of the best experience of my life, it's the best bootcamp and it's accessible to all.

You will learn a lot of thing in so little time it’s just amazing but it’s difficult so be prepare because you can be overwhelmed easily with the amount of information you’ll receive.
I had a high school diploma in IT networking but that was not exactly what I wanted to do in my life so I decided to join Le Wagon to learn how to become a web developer.
I was in Le Wagon Bordeaux #127 the teachers and everyone else are nice and more than helpful they will push you to be better.
To be honest, before to participate to Le Wagon Program, I wasn’t convince that it was that good… but since I’ve finished the program I can say it’s worth it ! I am 100% satisfied with my experience.
Don’t be scared, if you take it seriously, you will not waste your time !

After working in the banking industry and in IT banking industry, i was tired of the slowness and the antiqueness of the processes and way of working there.
I was also frustrated about not to be technical enough to fully understand the IT processes.

That’s why, in the first hand I decided to learn by myself coding with the help of internet resources. But after a while, I was kind of blocked in my learning progress.
At this time, when surfing on the web, I found Le wagon bootcamp.

The quality of the website, the transparency about the program, the good reviews and the alumni careers convinced me and long story short I enrolled for it ( and I can tell you, i do not regret it ).

The bootcamp was far beyond my expectations.
The pedagogy, the learning...

I was looking for technicals skills to start my own business.
I’ve done le Wagon in Bordeaux (https://www.lewagon.com/fr/bordeaux) at the end of last year, batch #102.
That was an amazing and life changing experience.
Bordeaux was really pleasant.
The staff is awesome and really dedicated to make you get the most out of the bootcamp !
Le Wagon offers me the mindset and skills I needed, to think and build great products.
I’m now working on freelance missions and pursuing my business as a side project.

I was looking for a new career path and have always been attracted by logical stuff like web development.
I didn’t want to go back to classes for years, I just wanted to learn quickly and with an intensive rhythm.
I have chosen Le Wagon because of their entrepreneurship spirit, and I have not been disappointed a single time. I have followed Le Wagon classes 3 months ago in Bordeaux (batch 102), it rather changed my life.
It’s been a really great experience, I met incredible people, and learned to code.
Le Wagon is not just a tech school teaching you how to code and then leaving you alone in the dark with your computer. It’s teaching you THE state of mind, making you a real independent web developer. Teachers are really good in letting you understand by yourself and helping you acqui...

I created in 2016 a car rental agency in Paris where I had to develop a showcase site. Having no skills in this field and lack of time, I had to meet many developers (web agency or freelance) to meet my needs.
In order to develop and modernise my tool, I needed to create an online platform like AirBnb. For this, no longer wishing to be dependent on intermediaries, I inquired to acquire the skills necessary to the design of this product.
Le Wagon appeared obvious, my first research allowed me to confirm my choice whether for the courses provided or the duration and the quality of the training.
I therefore integrated the Batch 85 in Bordeaux in the summer of 2017. This city corresponded perfectly to my expectations and allows to have an ideal framework to be able to follow a training t...

I had a terrific experience @LeWagon Bordeaux Batch #85, never learn so much in such a short time. The atmosphere is super friendly and yet very professional. The teaching staff is dedicated, passionate and experienced.
I chose Bordeaux for 2 reasons. First, the entrepreneurial ecosystem is exploding and not saturated yet. Second, I am an outdoor lover. Having the beach, the countryside and Spain within easy reach was just a blast !!
I joined the Bootcamp to gain legitimacy and technicity as a product manager in the tech industry. Also, now that I know how to develop an MVP I am eager to launch my own project! ;)

What I have gone through during my 2 months @ Le Wagon is priceless. I learnt all the best practices to build web applications in the fastest and most efficient manner, with the best technologies available. There's no place for bullshit, it's just code and surprisingly a lot of fun.

Le Wagon is the most demanding training I have ever done but also the most rewarding and fulfilling in terms of stuff learnt and people met. You learn something new every day, if not every hour of the training, and the start-up mindset of the batch is greatly motivating. The lead teacher has 10+ years experience in coding and he knows everything about nearly everything.

Get in touch with them for more info, they are very responsive, helpful and friendly. If you're ready to change your life of course!

The Wagon was a very rewarding experience for me.
Luckily I did it in a sweet and epicurean city Bordeaux!
The area « Les Chartrons » is great, and le Wagon is installed in a very confortable building equipped with a co-working space for entrepeneur, close to a Gym Center
Concerning courses; We had during my batch session # 85 in Bordeaux, the chance to be surrounded by a supervisory team and a quality training.
Based on: a competent teaching team close to involved students, the pedagogy of the wagon Bordeaux allowed me to gain new skills on Ruby on Rails.

The rhythm is sustained because of its rich contents ... Few wanderings
are possible but they are compensated by exercises, work at home and teachers who help you to find and understand your mistakes by yourself. The work pl...

Graduated from a Business School with a Master of Science in Marketing, I had the opportunity to work in several start-ups in France and abroad. I worked on several projects, sometimes with developers and I always had the impression that something was missing to correctly understand how they were working. That’s why I wanted to learn how to code.

I joined Le Wagon bootcamp in July 2017 as member of Bordeaux Batch #85. I did it because it was the choice of freedom. The freedom of building what you believe in without struggling with a lack of web-developing skills. The freedom of giving to your career a new exciting path with a tech’s spirit. The freedom of achieving new challenges with a qualified knowledge.
These 9 works were very intense but the sure thing is that was definitely t...

I have been part of the Wagon Bordeaux Batch #67.
I coded when I was in high school but in university I chose to study Social Sciences. For years, I though I can't retake my programming passion. But, three months ago, I knew le Wagon. My first impression was mistrust, I can't believe be able to learn coding in just 9 weeks. I did some research and meet some Le Wagon alumni, everybody recommended le Wagon. Then I decide to enroll.
The 9 weeks were one of the most amazing experience in my life. The pedagogical curriculum is made to encourage you to learn. Everyday, we had to learn a couple of new concepts.. It was hard, but this is the only way to learn a lot in a so short time. The pace is military, you can't stop and rest, you must learn, learn, learn... A lot of effort but it's wor...

My name is Mendy and I was part of Le Wagon's batch#67 in Bordeaux which ended in June 2017. For a long time, I have searched what I wanted to do with my life. I did some learning at university in psychology and dramatic arts, but college was not for me. Then one day, I found Le Wagon Bootcamp.
Being comfortables with computers ever since I was a child and being already proficient in HTML/CSS languages. I tempted my fate after many searches about it.

And I fall in love with coding, Ruby, Rails, Javascript, all ! Now, I know what I want to do with my life, Web Developper. Wagon's pedagogy played a big part in my experience. The staff and my batch were incredible too, humanly rewarding. It was 10h/day during two months and I didn't see it pass. Each lesson was exciting and it's the g...

I discovered the Wagon early 2016. They were hosting a hackathon at their headquarters and I remember the first impression I had. It can be difficult to find the balance between professionalism and fun in an office but the Wagon managed to do find it and to have this friendly vibe going on.

I come from a background in journalism and the media, with a focus on writing, reporting and digital screenwriting. To go further in that specialisation, I decided to learn how to code, to be able to create myself prototypes of the interactive experiences I offered. It was like the missing piece for my professional profile to be complete.

I had been used, with public bachelors and private education, to a very specific and old school kind of learning and teaching. Furthermore, like most students...

At first, I attended Le Wagon because I was curious about how websites worked.
Their program is so great that at the end of the 9 (intensive) weeks, I was able to build a full web app on my own!
I definitely loved it and would recommend it to anyone who seeks a new start. Attending Le Wagon is the best decision I've taken in my life.

I’m passionate about computers and tech in general, I’ve learned everything I know about it all on my own, I’ve learned a little bit of programming in school and a bit of HTML and CSS but never dove too much in it.

One day, someone told me about LeWagon Bordeaux, I was looking for a job at the time and I said to myself, “since I like programming, why not go head and take my chance in this world?”, since then, two months have passed and I found a true new passion by the name of “Web developing”, I truly love making web apps.

During batch#67 at LeWagon Bordeaux, I programmed an app called “Happynvestor”, an app which helps you find the perfect real estate to buy so you can make the best profit out of it, I programmed it in ten days with three of my fellow alumnis, this was a rea...

Hery, Auto-entrepreneur, batch#67 alumni, Le Wagon Bordeaux.

My Le Wagon Bordeaux journey? Well, let's get it straight: it was totally mental but worthed the pain 10 times!

Perhaps other students came into it with some web developpement knowledges already acquired but I went into it like from scratch. I wouldn't say from absolute zero because I made the required prep work before the bootcamp but almost ; and let me tell you: this was the best professionnal jump I ever made in my life!

Let's be immediatly clear : the fullstack program is incredibly hard but amazing. Everything, every courses serve a progressing main purpose and the Staff is highly trained to help you reach it. So I promise you this : it will work at the end of the day! I truly realized that the only real issue t...

I’ve just finished the Batch # 67 of the Wagon Bordeaux. I have only one word to say: THANK YOU! That an incredible professional and human adventure. It is intense and so rewarding. We are a new person, with technical skills that we could never have acquired otherwise. It’s crazy that to know what ve have in our hands. It's pretty incredible how strong you feel with these tools. The Ruby language is truly hyper well designed so it can be adopted very quickly. For me, the Wagon allowed me to see more clearly what I really wanted to do in life. And I discovered a world that I particularly love. Our final training projects show us how much we learned during the previous weeks. To apply all notions is really satisfactory. We do not realize what we can do.
I can only tell you one thing, go ...

I've been part of Le Wagon Bordeaux (https://www.lewagon.com/fr/bordeaux)
batch#67, from April to June 2017.

Before I join Le Wagon, I had a little developper experience, but not for the
web : C#.NET essentially ;
As I wanted to reorient myself as a web developer, it appeared that Le Wagon's
bootcamp was the perfect deal for me : a short and intense fullstack course.

9 weeks later, I found much more that what I was searching for : not only a set
of strong skills for web development, but also a rich human experience with a
new community : Le Wagon's great staff members, and my bootcamp teammates.

Le Wagon's pedagogical format is great : learning a programming language is like
learning a foreign language, and the best is to get immersed in.

I think that every student,...

I graduated from a business school 4 years ago with the impression to have learned little and regretted not learning enough skills useful for the startup world. I wanted to learn a programming language but I needed to find a job and wasn’t sure I wanted to start over studying. Today I just finished batch 51 of Le Wagon in Bordeaux in France and if I could go back in time I would scream at my recently graduated self “GO DO LE WAGON!!!” I learned to learn how to code. The program is well built to teach you the foundations of web programming with custom tools developed by the team. I also greatly appreciated the immersive experience in the life of a web developer which is a huge asset even if you never code again. But most of all, the teachers are all former students of Le Wagon which mak...

I enjoyed a lot my experience at Le Wagon Bordeaux. I was then enrolled as a student in the batch 51. To me, it was a great experience, both humanely and professionally talking.

Humanely, it allows me to meet many people from every background and every age. People, both students and teachers, are for the most talented, enthusiastic, motivated and funny. It makes the atmosphere really cool. Besides, in my opinion, it is definitely a way to learn faster and easier. You really meet great people during Le Wagon. It’s a real human and enriching experience on that matter. Furthermore, you have many opportunities to maintain a relationship with people thanks to very regular meetings (every week) and web tools.

Professionally, I think Le Wagon is a real springboard. You get a very effecti...

Doing Le wagon Bootcamp and learning how to code during 9weeks was the best decision I have made!
I didn't know anything about programming or coding but the Bootcamp program is so well thought and built that you can't fail.
It has been very intense, my brain did a 360°tour! But so efficient! I have met great people, joined a great and active network and gained new skills that allow me, now, to code and develop my website on my own! It opened new perspectives .
I sincerely advise anyone who is interested by websites to do it.
For more info, here is the link of le wagon Bordeaux https://www.lewagon.com/fr/bordeaux (they are great people!!)

My 9 weeks training at Le Wagon Bordeaux (batch#51) was such an amazing experience ! The teachers team, the pedagogy, the interaction between alumnis and the projects we made, gave me really operational skills and a clear vision of what an efficient work is in full stack web developpement. In the last 10 days we built a full and working platform for delivery companies and customers with all the techs we’ve learned, like geolocalization and mapping.
Be prepared to meet exciting people, to spend hours of working and to finally blow your mind !

Would you like to learn how to build a web application from scratch, surrounded by skillfull and friendly teachers? And follow courses at le Wagon in a beautiful city next to the sea while having a good glass of wine after hard day of work? Bordeaux may be your destination :)

Hello everybody! My name is Pierre. I have been a student at the Le Wagon - Bordeaux for 9 weeks (batch 51). How incredibe and serious the way code has been taught to me, with no experience at all in web developpement before starting the courses. (I need to remind you that the courses is also structured for advanced level students).

You will probably fall in love with ruby when coding simple programs to start, enjoy designing your database schema and play hard with ActiveRecord in Rails, the framework you...

It's been a few weeks since I finished my training in the wagon in Bordeaux during the bacth #51 and today I confirm a sentence that I could see on their website: "You will learn in 2 months what you would have learned in 2 years".

After graduating with a degree in commerce, I wanted to reorient myself in an area that really attracted me but I did not want to go back on several years of studies. The ideal was to find a fast and qualitative training to get strong skills in web development and The Wagon was the key to succeed.

I had the opportunity before I graduated in marketing to do a year of computer science, but i realised that after a year I did not have real reusable skills.

9 January 2017, the adventure begins with 28 totally different people. The first few da...

Participer au batch 40 à Bordeaux est une des meilleures décisions que j’ai prises : la pédagogie est très bien pensée, c’est intense mais on va droit au but. Je n’ai pas seulement appris à coder, j’ai appris à bien le faire, en mode projet agile et en équipe. Idéal pour les porteurs de projets entrepreneuriaux et pour des reconversions pour devenir dev !

Hello! I was a student at Le Wagon Bordeaux batch #40 (03/10/2016 - 02/12/2016)

This bootcamp of 2 months brought me a lot. It was dense, complete and well organized.

WHY LE WAGON:

The language Ruby is known to be "developer happiness", that means intuitive and easy to assimilated. This does not prevent that there are quite a lot of good practices to know to be effective (SRP, DRY ...)

We also learn to work with:

- HTML

- CSS

- Javascript

- Ajax

- Jquery

- Ruby on Rails

LESSONS:

Every day there was a principal teacher, as well as assistant teachers to have a more effective individual follow-up. The teachers are friendly, attentive, patient and listening ... The day begins with a lesson. Then we form groups of two people, to work on the subject of the ...

Géophysicien fraîchement diplômé, je me suis tout d'abord confronté au dur monde des salariés où j'y est perdu quelques plumes. J'ai vite aspiré à autre chose. N'ayant que deux certitudes, trouver un métier qui me plaît et travailler à mon compte, ma première idée a été de monter un bureau d'étude en modélisation des phénomènes géophysiques. Cependant, bien que passionné des nouvelles technologies, mes connaissances en informatiques n'étaient clairement pas suffisantes et pour mener à bien ce projet, l'aide d'un informaticien me semblait, à l'époque, indispensable. Être bien accompagné était une chose, mais ce n'était pas tout, fallait il encore que je puisse communiquer avec lui et comprendre ce qu'il ferait.
J'ai donc cherché une formation en informatique courte et diversifiée. Après...

I enrolled in the programme because I needed to understand what a developper was and how they work and mainly catch up the wave of the digital revolution.
The Wagon Bordeaux gave me all that and much more It made me understand that anyone one could develop even the eldest one ;) as long as you are curious and persistant. I highly recommend the Wagon sure it is hard and you will come out of your comfort zone but it is worth it!
