Experience of Flatiron School

on YouTube ↗17m

" summary

Bootcamp experience: a cohort of mostly beginners goes through a 12-week immersion centered on Ruby and Rails with daily labs (often 9am to 8pm), pair programming, and instructors ranging from months to decades of experience. Students build multiple small apps, deploy at least one to production (deployed to Heroku), read and rewrite existing code, and are pushed to blog, build and present (blog, build, present) so graduates with no CS degree land junior developer roles.
