The learning experience is excellent

No other online course or tool has got me locked in this much. Lessons are excellent and very well designed and clear. Especially if you struggle with consistency on online courses, the gamified experience helps immensely. Love Boot.dev and the subscription is worth every penny.

I am new to coding

I am new to coding. I have tried reading text off the internet and in books, or tried free online classes, but I have lost interest very quickly. The role playing and humor helps me stay engaged while boots ai helps me with basic coding problems. The limited resources of items forces me to find answers on my own before resorting to help enhancing the learning experience. I love Boot.dev and it is the highlight of my day even though it can be a struggle and tiring at times.

One of the best platforms for real hands-on exercises to get programming experience, with an awesome discord community to boot (no pun intented!)!

Highly recommend boot.dev to anyone looking to get into the back-end side of development, and follow one of their curated "learning paths"!

One of the nicest learning platforms…

One of the nicest learning platforms that is great in making you forget that you are actually studying right now.

Courses are built as "Our Manager asked for this in our tool" or "the players for our MMO need the possibility to store the items in an inventory, let's code that" and then you implement the things asked and got a nice little bear wizard (the AI companion) explaining you the things you didn't understand.
Highly recommended!

I'm obssesed.

I'm obssesed.
After trying many different courses, nothing has grabbed my attention as strongly as Boot.dev. The methodolody is incredibly engaging. The gamified mechanics are not only charming and fun, but also give incentives to keep studying. It's just such a satisfying way to learn.
On top of that, the concepts are explained with great skill. It's just wonderful.

This was the first course website that really hooked me for a long time - I was practically addicted to it. Completing the courses was a lot of fun, not boring studying. Many of the things I learned have come in handy in my professional life, and they were presented in an accessible and straightforward way. I definitely recommend it - everything works great, and reaching the Archmage level gives you the satisfaction of having made it all the way to the end.

Not beginner friendly at all

Not beginner friendly at all. This doesn't teach you how to think like a programmer, just tells you the name of something and examples, but doesn't explain how anything works. Just "trust me, this works" which is frustrating because I want to know the WHY so I can actually program on my own. I DO NOT recommend this site for anyone starting out. There are better FREE resources on YouTube. I'm just glad I never bought the subscription. It's just as bad as Duolingo for learning a new language. Also, the interface is cluttered, distracting, and SUPER SLOW. I will NOT be revisiting this site.
