| | Leif Marshall | Le Wagon Oslo is an amazing experience. I could not recommend a better Bootcamp in Scandinavia! Before I started at Le Wagon, I worked nearly full-time, so it was important to me that I found a Bootcamp that would accommodate my schedule. That is why I chose the part-time course, and it was a great decision. The pace of the part-time Bootcamp was great for me. It allowed me to absorb all the material while still being able to work. The course is challenging, but it is also enjoyable and a unique experience you can only get at Le Wagon. The teachers are great too. Of course, the teachers were available during class to help, and they do a great job of explaining things, but many teachers were available to help me on days and nights when I had no class and was working on my own to solve the challenges. This was a big bonus for me and many others in my class. The final projects were my favorite of the whole Bootcamp. I felt like a real dev! Mapping things out in my head, solving problems, and seeing the whole project come together in realtime is an awesome feeling. If you are looking for a Bootcamp, I would very much recommend Le Wagon Oslo. |
| | Nachiket Pusalkar | I was extremely skeptical before joining this bootcamp for several reasons.
1) The main technology / framework / language taught in this program is Ruby on Rails. Which I had never heard of and lately - Python and Javascript are the latest hype.
2) It was a considerably shorter duration than the other programs.
3) It wasn’t cheap.
4) I had been teaching myself code for several weeks and I thought there wasn’t much a bootcamp would teach me that I couldn’t have taught myself.
I was wrong about all of the above.
1) Ruby is one of the most elegant languages I've learned. Rails is an extremely powerful framework and the possibilities are limitless.
2) 9 weeks was sufficient to get the fundamentals after which you must learn on your own (everything in web dev cannot be taught unless you do it yourself).
3) Considering the knowledge I gained. It was worth the money.
4) There was so much I didn’t know which made me level up my skills drastically.
Also, the staff and TA’s are extremely helpful, polite and care about your success. It becomes one big family at the end of the course. I would do it all over again if I could. |
