Using boot.dev for over a month

I've been using boot.dev for over a month now and I'm very satisfied. Their support team through email responded to my inquiry very fast and were very friendly. The Discord is also very active and friendly to newbies

The best and getting better

The best platform and always getting better. “Learn to code” is such an understatement. You’re learning everything from the big picture to the smallest detail. They’re always putting out new courses and there’s easily years worth of high quality material. Nothing compares!

The only tutorial that became my habit

The only tutorial that made me stick to the habit and actually learn how to code! The gamification that is not too offensive combined with great material is what keeps me going! I think this is the best platform for backend courses I’ve visited so far.

As a student pursuing my CS degree

As a student pursuing my CS degree, I have felt the agonizing frustration of feeling far behind. I signed up for boot.dev for supplemental instruction outside of college. Boot.dev has made me realize that college is actually behind and much slower. I've learned far more in 4 months of boot.dev than I have in the last year of college. Definitely recommend.

Programming

I have always wanted to start programming but were to confused with so many information online. Boot dev has a clear path that guides you, helps you and take you by the hand to be informed with the technologies. Has a gamified way of learning with exp, rewards and a leaderboard.
I recomend this more than a hundred percent!

Highly recommend for learning to code! (Back-end)

A fantastic platform to learn back-end programming. They have multiple "paths" which are basically a curated list of courses that build on each other with a goal of learning a specific area of programming (Back end, data analysis, etc.). I've done most of the back-end Golang path and have had a wonderful experience. The courses are well put together with a mix of good educational content, challenging exercises, and practical projects mixed in.

It's very hands-on and also FUN (It's gamified). Highly recommended if you're interesting in learning back-end coding. The yearly membership is a decent price, but it's a good investment for the value you get out of it. They do have great deals throughout the year on big content drops and big holidays.

Great company and service!

I love it

I love it

I subscribed to Boot.dev to "profesionalise" some of my self taught knowledge as I was applying it more and more in my day-to-day work.

I initially subscribed for a year, with an affiliate code as they sponsor quite a bit of you the YouTube channels I tend to watch. As per usual, I set a calendar reminder to review my subscription.

What happened? Boot.dev contacted me even before my reminder went off just to make sure I didn't renew on accident. These type of practices underscore how well Boot.dev is ran making sure they're looking after their students.

That's before we get into the gamefied learning, which is heavily effective for me and the quality of content being very very high

Best way to learn

I have tried learning coding before. Once with my cousin who works as a backend developer, and once through a fast track 9 month coding course through UCD (University College Dublin) served by Code Institute. I only lasted 2 months in that course and life got in the way of me learning with my cousin. Boot.dev is by far the easiest and most engaging way I've found to learn coding. I have stuck with it for several months now and feel like I am making proper progress. Every course builds up as you follow through the established course flow and there's a plethora of assistance tools to help you whenever you get stuck. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in coding.

Very nice to learn as a beginner

Very nice to learn as a beginner, the courses are very good and the challenge are a nice complement. The RPG-like environment is a nice touch, so you dont realise you are learning but you are playing. And to finish the community is very respectful and helpful. So i recommend at 100% if you want a good first start (at least because I dont know for the much experimented part, not being an expert).

QA to Dev

My main goal with Boot.dev was to transform from QA to Dev. I couldnt even imagine, that I fall this much into coding...
Boot dev makes is fun, simple yet challenging way to learn it all. Some courses are weaker, but others are really strong. If you want to learn programming, you should give it a try. Its cheap, its strong, its well structured. And they improve and add new stuff often.
