As a beginner with 0 experience it was really challenging, not for the faint hearted. The javascript course recommended beforehand is a must, and I'd like to recommend more subjects to be included in the preparation running up to the bootcamp for node and git for eg. Regarding the bootcamp itself, I personally found the live coding challenges quite nerve wracking as a newbie watching everyone finishing off and being the one who trailed behind each time. That aside everything is really well organised, the coding tutorials are superbly designed, the Discord channels very clearly segmented and professionally employed, the instructor has an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge and we thoroughly appreciated his fantastic sense of humor and calm no-pressure approach to teaching.

Great experience great culture Dan is a great teacher you get lots of hands on experience . I left with a much more through understanding of blockchain technology. I wish the course was longer and more in depth on the ethereum side of development some concepts don’t sink in as well even though you fully learn to write smart contracts in the boot camp .

I found ChainShot while I wasn't even looking for an Ethereum Developer Bootcamp. At first, I was drawn in and excited by the JavaScript crash course and then as I discovered more of what ChainShot was about, I decided to really challenge myself and just dive into the bootcamp. My experience was slightly different from the average because we were a very small cohort & spanned 10 weeks of part-time coursework, covering both JavaScript and Solidity. It quickly became clear to me that JS is the glue which can bind a lot of various libraries and existing software together, to achieve a more cohesive and somewhat sane developer experience - provided that you have someone to show you and explain how to get the best results out of what you're using. Which is precisely what Dan Nolan and ChainShot provided for me, over the course of the bootcamp. From fledgling steps in the syntax and application of JavaScript, to writing a complete dapp running on an Ethereum testnet in ten weeks! The curriculum was well paced, and so thoroughly interactive that it could not help but carry me along with it seamlessly from zero to Ethereum Developer, just as advertised. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Dan Nolan, he is a wonderfully genuine and thoughtful teacher, whose enthusiasm for programming has made a lifelong impression on me, at least. Every question I had, Dan could guide me to an answer. Sometimes it took some creative explanation and the reading of documentation intensified, but I never felt let down, left behind, or sidelined. I was able to present my projects, and gained SO much valuable knowledge and experience that I would heartily recommend ChainShot to absolutely everyone who wants to learn how to work with blockchains, specifically Ethereum. I have recently landed a position with a relatively young but rather well positioned web3 startup. I owe much of that success to the mentoring, support, friendship and presence of the ChainShot team. Now let's take back the internet, together!

I took a bunch of computer science classes in college - it seems like the common core structure of these classes is for a professor to lecture at the front and *show* how code is written without any way of the student being able to interact - this is an outdated format, the team at ChainShot figured out that it is vastly more advantageous to bring the student into that coding session - so the student still sees and learns from the professor's code lecture and then can immediately apply what they saw in their own coding sandbox! Not only is this an outstanding blockchain bootcamp, ChainShot is pushing the bounds of traditional computer science education altogether.
