The Best Dubai Coding Bootcamps Of 2025

I took full-time web development courses at Le Wagon in Tokyo to learn programming and start building basic apps for business. It was an intense, demanding and rewarding experience. It has also been as much fun as it has been frustrating. I came every morning to Meguro class hall and worked there until the end of the afternoon for two entire months. In the beginning, we did lecture in the morning, then pair programming in the afternoon until the last hour, which was dedicated to live coding. Teacher assistants were always around to give a hand, as I was all the time bumping into a hardship I could overcome as a beginner. I was a beginner but some students were already experienced in some aspects of programming.
Our group was extremely diverse, with people living in Japan for years and other students coming from abroad thanks to weak Japanese yen and discovering Tokyo, some of us speaking two or more languages, within a vast age range (from people under 20 to people over 45). The result was a friendly learning batch full of curiosity. Once we acquired programming basics, I joined a team of four students and we worked on a real-world app project during the last weeks. My teammates were motivated and everyone contributed. We planned and executed like pros, made many beginner mistakes, and I learned a lot from these last weeks. The last day of the BootCamp was demo day, and we presented our app to a full room.

16 weeks may seem like a daunting time commitment, but the course is so worth it! The way the Data Science Dojo crew runs their bootcamp program is very thorough. The lessons and homework flow very intuitively. The modules covered build on concepts in a way that really helps with understanding. The instructors really promote class interaction which is good for tackling these topics in such a short time, getting our engagement rather than simply lecturing at us. They also encourage participation in a class Kaggle competition, which helps with additional free-form practical application of the concepts covered in class (plus some friendly competition for motivation). Most importantly, the instructors are very interactive, hands on, and passionate. They want to see every cohort succeed in their learning and you can see the labor of love that goes into teaching us, providing quality content both in the sessions and via the course site. This really sets them apart from other bootcamps, especially those provided online.

The course covers all the hot topics in the Data Science field, grounding in the perspective that the bootcamp is looking to prepare students with a broad range of experiences. I appreciate the context they provide and the thought that went into exposing us to a little bit of everything and the skills to jump in.
