Boot.dev does a great job of teaching…

Boot.dev does a great job of teaching real-world technologies used as well as best practices. It does it in a way that doesn’t hold your hand too much and makes you learn. They also are constantly updating and adding courses as trends change

Difficult to get through the courses…

Difficult to get through the courses for a non-programmer.
The learning curve is to steep from one point to another.

Boot dev is pretty hard, tis true! But we do our best to make learning difficult things as easy as it can be, but at the end of the day, coding (without skipping the hard stuff) is hard! Be sure to snag a refund if you giving up, we don't want anyone paying for something they're not using.

Engaging Learning

Uses gamification principles to cultivate an engaging and effective computer science learning experience. I've already recommended it to some friends

Trust the bear, the bear knows!

I've smoothed out some skills I brought with me and learned a ton of new things. The course work scales very well with little to no cliffs to climb, the community is friendly, and the lore is quite fun to read up on. Highly recommeded.

Engaging, motivating and easy to follow

Boot.dev’s courses are easy to follow, engaging, and make learning feel genuinely enjoyable. I enjoy the gamification, which gives me a clear sense of progression. I really try to keep my daily streak alive, and I like that the system is not overly punishing because you can earn shields to protect it by putting in extra work on a particular day.

Boots, the AI assistant, is another standout feature. After completing a coding challenge, I like being able to ask follow-up questions to solidify what I’ve learned, explore edge cases, and better understand why something works. I often use it to help me understand the order in which code executes.

I’m not particularly active in the Boot.dev Discord community, but I enjoy reading the weekly check-ins and seeing how other learners are progressing.

A Quest: Software QA to Software Engineer

I've recently transitioned from being a Software QA Engineer to a Software Engineer. Meaning I had good familiarity with things but nothing more than basic knowledge. After trying out Codecademy, Laracasts and a few other I settled on Boot.dev. The gamified approach, XP and streaks has been great for engaging me and the whole 'Armour' concept to protect streaks made me far more cautious in just blindly submitting things until I got the right answer, not really learning anything in the process.

One of the best investments I've made of my Career to date and I'll be hammering my way through the back catalogue. Some more PHP materials would be great though, that's our *main jam* where I work.

Give this site a try! You'll love it

The courses are well crafted and I feel like im finally really learning how to code for the first time, after many failed attempts.
The courses suit my brain well and the information sticks!
Previously attempts to learn felt pointless as the route they used was just telling you exactly what you needed to do to get done, which just led to me not knowing what to do when I was left to my own devices.
With this course Im led to what the end goal should be and given the knowledge that is required, if I do struggle or get stuck I can simply use the tools provided. Im making tons of progress and enjoying it every step of the way.
