Boot.dev made enjoy programming again

Boot.dev made enjoy programming again. I used to program around 10 years ago while at university, but I gave it up for a long time. Boot.dev was advertised by a YouTuber I enjoy watching, so I decided to give it a go and I had a blast and it actually made me want to get back into programming. The courses are just challenging enough to make you learn, but not so difficult that you feel like you want to give up. They're also written in a very engaging way. If you get stuck, Boots, the AI assistant is very helpful by guiding you towards the answer in a fun way without just straight giving the answer to you. Overall, definitely recommended!

A Perfect Balance of Challenge and Motivation

Content, challenges are overwhmigly good. Gets you hooked on learning by getting a golden chest or using resource efficient. Engagement mechanism is just balanced, It doesn't impose you a set of available resources. I'm on a 19 day streak with it and I have advanced and received a ton of knowledge since I had only subscribed for a trial for one month and my regular job has seen lot of improvements.

It is not easy, but it is fun

It is not easy. You won't finish bootdev in a month and land a 100k job immediately. It is expensive and there's no hand holding. That said I couldn't recommend it more.

I learned so much and had fun doing it. Yes, the learning curve is steep and yes, I was incredibly frustrated at times (looking at you FP course and SSG project) - but bootdev finally made me stick it out trying to learn programming.

The blend between videos, text, quizzes, coding problems and projects just scratches my brain in the right way. I really appreciate that I can use boots as a tutor and talk through exactly what concepts I have trouble with - even if I have to do it a hundred times, he never gets impatient.

Such a fun learning concept

Such a fun learning concept! It is also very smartly designed, and has many layers of difficulty which are easy and intuitively to chose, simply by reading more or less of the instructions and help, or by asking more or less questions about something.
I believe anybody who wants to learn a programming language will be able to enjoy this (if you like games and having fun).

1 month in loving it

A month in I've been using boot.dev to freshen up on basics ive gotten rusty on, while also learning a few things along the way. Currently in the backend course with hopes to learn some more from the later courses the structure so far has been fantastic at keeping me engaged.

Great tool for refreshing knowledge event for professionals

I started 6 months ago as a way to refresh my knowledge and learn new thing; Python, Javascript, Typescript. Even after 30 years in the job, you have still things to learn, even things I wasn't expected, LLM Agents and RAG search engine. I got hooked on the gamification. And It finally give me the push to restart old personal projects I had.

I love this website

I love this website, it’s a fantastic interactive way to learn programming and get your foot in the doorstep, the only thing I wish was different is the certificates you get at the end, they don’t look professional. But from a learning perspective 10/10

Worth every penny

Worth every penny. One of the best decisions I made in my life was joining boot.dev

I cannot stress how much more value you get from an interactive course where you can actually getting your hands in on the code. Good for the memory.

Excellent community.

Very engaging content

Very engaging content, hands-on real-world programming topics, developed and curated by humans, and an excellent gamified theme. I especially like the AI assistant (really helps to think about a topic rather than handing you the answer) and the auto-generated challenges. The Discord community is also active and helpful. Course are updated frequently and new courses added over time.

Very Friendly

I started coding with Boot in April. It's really addictive and easy to use. It's great for anyone that thinks about starting coding right now.

The best!

Boot.dev is in my opinion probably one of the best if not the best website to truly learn what you need to learn. With their special focus on scalable backend technology (what's in demand) they make you truly job ready.

What's more, the gamification is addicting, Boots is really the soul of the site, and it's just such a pleasure to learn on, making you learn hands-on and incentivizing you to stay curious and active instead of passively watching and learning excessive theory.

With the price made accessible too? You cannot go wrong with Boot.dev, it is the best investment and experience you can have in my opinion for learning to code, the real way.
