Hasn't AI made learning to code obsolete?

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.

How long will it take to learn enough to be hired?

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.

Should I include Boot.dev projects in my resume and portfolio?

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.

What is Boot.dev? A bootcamp? An online school?

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.

What makes Boot.dev different?

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.

By the end of this course you'll be writing production-quality Python code.

Chapter List

Clean Code

Understand why we have programming paradigms in the first place, and how they help us write more maintainable code

Classes

Learn about classes and objects, and how OOP differs from a functional programming paradigm.

Encapsulation

Learn how to write cleaner code by encapsulating data and methods.

Abstraction

Abstraction is a powerful tool that will make your code more robust and reusable.

Inheritance

The crux of OOP is the ability to inherit data and behaviors from other classes

Polymorphism

Polymorphism is one of the best ideas we've had as developers, learn how it works.

Wuuusssup! It feels like the Boot.dev team has insane experience in teaching people. This course is pure awesomeness — it gives you more than just OOP, it starts building a Gigachad developer mindset.
