Hi! My name is Philipp. I studied product and concept-design in Germany which led me to score cool roles as a UX designer and a globe-trotting consultant in Agile frameworks including Scrum and Kanban. Nevertheless, I felt that I needed to understand coding so I could better communicate with developers in my team and sometimes I also wanted to turn my own web ideas and concepts into reality. ...

A few weeks after finishing Devpoint, still basking in the glow of being hired as a dev, I posted an honest, largely positive review of Devpoint Labs on Switchup's main competitor site (you know the one). With that review, I encouraged anyone reading to reach out to me on Linkedin if they had any questions/comments or concerns. I was totally blown away by the response from people reaching out ...

Great opportunity to learn Python programming. I entered as a beginner with 0 previous experience and found that I was able to follow along easily. The work is broken out into manageable pieces so it's definitely possible to work full time and still take the class. Also, it's a cool way to meet other people with common interests and learn from peers!

I am a Coding Dojo alumni, completed the program in 2017. I had the best and the most challenging time of my life.

I don't come from a technical background, but I wanted to make a career change and looked into different bootcamps. Initially, I was (very wrongly) wary about bootcamps and about my ability to land a job after 18 weeks. Through Launch, you will learn so much more than you can believe you can in that time. I had only dabbled with code for 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the program, but the ...

We often overestimate our ability to learn, and on the other side, teachers overestimate their students’ capacity to pay attention. This so called ‘burnout’ is the cancer of learning. It’s lurking quietly in the classroom, and no one knows when, and if it comes. And when it does materialize, everyone ignores it, denies it. I know burnout alright.

It’s been said that software development is both an art and a science. It’s an art because it takes skill, patience, and repeated practice to master. And just like art, software development has the potential to produce works of beauty.
