I applied for Le Wagon Tokyo because they offered full-remote options for their bootcamp and it seemed to be a well-run program with many positive reviews. From start to finish I was very impressed with the curriculum. With many optional challenges and assignments posted from week to week, it let's those who are struggling to keep up catch their breath and focus on the main assignments, while the individuals looking for a challenge are able to continue to push themselves. I went into this program as someone with almost zero programming experience, and by the end of it I now feel confident that I can independently create real web applications, front to back. The teachers are smart and really know their stuff. Technical questions were quickly answered and they really took the time to make sure each concept was understood. On top of that, they are personable and take part in the programming journey with you. For an experienced developer I'd imagine it is difficult to go back and remember the feeling of building out your first program and all of the excitement that is connected to that.. as the experience probably dulls over time. But it never felt dull with the teachers at Le Wagon.. They were there with us, genuinely excited about our first few lines of code. While I was impressed by the teachers, I was also impressed by the other students. I was able to work with some incredibly smart, driven, and interesting people that each week reaffirmed to me that Le Wagon was the right choice and the right place to be. One of Le Wagon's most understated benefits is it's wide alumni base. During and after the course you'll have access to job listings, dev tips, career tips, resume help, and many other things to help you out. It's an incredibly valuable tool that gives you a network of support and ability to improve your career prospects. For instance, I myself was recently hired by another Le Wagon alum. Le Wagon is an awesome experience and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in finding a career in web development. |
