Dev Bootcamp? Is it a good idea or inversion?

[LeoYourKingParticipant 225]

Hi brothers
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I was looking how to learn coding by myself because I did not want to go back to college and spend money and time in getting other degree. So, I found this teaching program called Dev Bootcamp. To be honest it sound too good to be true. I just was wandering if someone has any experience with this kind of courses or what you think about it?

Does it seem more attractive to you than books and self study?

Throw this recommendation away if it doesn’t work for you, but pick a project (or decide on something) you want to create…… and then just make it.

Fumble about. Make mistakes. Use google. Learn as you need it. Then you’ll get better, and more questions will arise. Then you find answers to those questions. etc. It’s a natural progression.

EVERYONE LEARNS DIFFERENTLY and at their own pace, but I wouldn’t shove a coding book in someone’s hands and say “read this and learn how to code”.

I would say “decide you want to make an app that can see through clothing, or travel through time” (not literally of course) … and then just make it.

“Coding” can mean anything from PHP, to app development, to NodeJS and you can make a living as a “genius” specializing in either. But coding is just too big a world to start with a book. Just start coding.

Last week, I needed to create a little web app that would send someone an SMS text message – with a picture attached – FROM a website. In other words, you visit the site, press a button and that person would received a text message alert from the site…. which they can respond to.

Where do you begin with that? A book?

So I googled “send SMS from PHP script” and a world of s~~~ opened up.
3 days later, I had it figured out. Custom built.

If I were just starting out, that might take 30 days just to get my head around it, but that’s how you learn.

You can teach yourself. And in most cases, someone else has probably tried something similar, and you’ll find code snippets to get you started. There are also sites like “Stack Overflow” where people post problems or their code isn’t working. Other developers show up to give a little clue or complete answer. Google is your best friend here.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Thank you for taking the time to give me a useful advise Keymaster. I really appreciate ti.
I will keep teaching myself to code. I am a beginner so I still learning the very basic.
I will see other options later on it could be a dev bootcamp or something else. It depends on the abilities I acquire and the time I take to learn them.
Thanks again for your advise.
