Very fun course that has just the right amount of challenge. Building upon concepts that were instilled in the C memory and Python courses.

Fantastic intro to the wonderful world of Go. Took a while to get through but worth it in the end!

It's a good introduction to using Go with gentle dabbling in some more advanced concepts like concurrency and generics which were both manageable for a beginner.

Being an experienced person, boot.dev gives me the exact pace, I want to follow. A fine mixture of short videos and reading makes it perfect for a visual learner like me that need hands on experience.

This course is designed such a way even someone learning to program for the first time in their life would find it useful, the best thing about this course is it teaches you with examples, it always remains up to dated, that's another beauty of this course.

It was very good. I'd add one or two more exercises per chapter to reinforce the concepts.

Frequently asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers
Yes! It's free to create an account and start learning. You'll get all the immersive and interactive features for free for a few chapters. After that, if you still haven't paid for a membership, you'll be in read-only (content only) mode.
We use AI more than most tech companies - not just to build Boots and the Training Grounds, but also to assist us in our coding work... and we're still hiring developers!
The demand for technical talent hasn't gone away. Companies need developers that are AI savvy and can modernize their codebases. The way developers work is changing rapidly, but the demand for developers who can build great software remains high.
We teach software development skills for the modern AI assisted world, and also have some AI specific courses like how to build your own Agent.
It's completely up to you. The time it will take you to be "job ready" will depend on how much you already know, how often you study, and how long you study for. That said, the backend career path takes many people about 12 months.
Absolutely! If you built it, use it. You'll build several personal projects while completing our curriculum, and our final course about finding jobs will show you how to construct a job-ready portfolio.
We're not a $10,000 bootcamp.
We're not a $50,000 university degree.
We are a self-paced, gamified online learning platform for learning back-end web development and computer science. You can learn with us for the price of a gym membership.
You can read all about our methodology here. We focus on teaching backend-development and data-related skills, which is somewhat of a rarity in online learning. We're also focused on solving what we believe is the hardest problem with online learning: boredom.
If you prefer coding rather than watching, and your struggle with online learning is staying motivated and engaged, we think you'll like learning with us.
