For a long time before this summer, I have been trying to take the first step towards becoming a developer. The seed was planted when I took a simple introduction to programming class as an elective at university.

The seed was planted when I took a simple introduction to programming class as an elective at university. It was my first exposure to programming in any form, and despite the class being quite basic I was instantly hooked. The ability to solve problems and think analytically was something I always gravitated towards, and programming (even in this most basic form) was just so delightful and interesting. This was something, for the first time, that I could really see myself enjoying in the future as a profession. The problem was that I wasn’t a computer science student, and I knew nothing about how to get started after finishing up that course. I didn’t know what kind of jobs I wanted or what jobs were even available. I didn’t know what programming language was the best to start with, or how should I practice, or even what resources were the best place for me to develop my skills. I made very slow progress since it was difficult to know whether the direction I was headed was the one I wanted to go in. I wanted so badly to take the first step towards becoming a developer, but I had no idea which direction that step should be and where that step would lead to. It felt like I was lost in the wilderness of all the information that was out there.
The first time I heard about Le Wagon was from a friend of mine, who unbeknownst to me, was going through a similar situation as I was. At first, I was skeptical. I had heard very little of bootcamps, but I was doubtful that I could learn what I wanted to learn in the span of 9 weeks. Especially considering the syllabus indicated that the teachers would begin teaching from the very basics of programming, which I already knew. I didn’t want to relearn the basics like iteration or conditionals or functions, but rather I wanted to learn how to create something real. I wanted the skills, and perhaps more importantly, the direction to be able to turn my code into a real-life application that can solve actual problems and pains. As I read more and more positive reviews online, I decided to give it a shot. So, I signed up for the Web Development course at Le Wagon for the summer. While I was hopeful about what the experience could do for me, I was internally preparing for a good experience, but not something profound that might help me decide whether I would commit to this kind of profession and perhaps point me to where I should go next.
I was very happy to be wrong.
The bootcamp, although it started with the basics, was consistently engaging and fun throughout. The staff was fantastic and it was very easy to fall into the routine of the day, which consisted mostly of completing fun challenges on the topic of the day’s lecture. Something really clicked for me when our teacher introduced the Ruby on Rails framework to build web applications. It was the first time in my programming journey where I could begin to see the possible applications I could build. The project weeks alone would have really made the whole bootcamp worth it. It was the highlight of the bootcamp by far for me. Working in a group to create a product is dynamic and rewarding in a way that is hard to explain unless you’ve done it. It was far and away the best way to learn. My teammates and I ended up developing a social networking website for foodies. It was staggering to see how far we had all come since the beginning of the bootcamp and incredibly surreal to see what we were able to build over the span of just two weeks. The most important element that I took away from the bootcamp and the project weeks, however, was that it allowed me to develop the skills and learn the process to turn my ideas into real-life web applications. It was exactly what I had been looking for.
I have many more steps to take before I can get to where I want to go. The difference is that I now have a roadmap and some reassurance that I am heading in the right direction. If you find yourself in a situation like mine, where you have many questions and you want to be pointed in the right direction, then Le Wagon would be a good experience for you to have.

I consider myself a creative person and I was looking to learn a new skill that combines creativity with the logical aspect of finance.

I consider myself a creative person and I was looking to learn a new skill that combines creativity with the logical aspect of finance. I decided to learn to code and after doing some research, enrolled in Le Wagon's 9-week full-time web development bootcamp. The bootcamp was an incredible experience. All of the teachers and teaching assistants were extremely friendly and made a relatively difficult subject digestible and fun to learn. I was surprised to realize how much I learned while applying my skills during project week when we built a web app that allows foodies to create and join niche tasting events. Le Wagon was a great experience overall and I would definitely recommend it for passionate and driven people looking to learn how to code. - SOU DévaBioinformatician • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Full-time • BordeauxSep 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome!!
I did the two Wagon track in Bordeaux (Web Dev & Data Science).
In both scenarios, Le Wagon was an excellent bootcamp. It allows in a very short period of time to have an astronomical amount of knowledge and skills. The teaching team is at the top, the content is concrete and constantly updated.
I recommend 100% the investment to be made in this training. - YvesWeb Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliSep 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The experience I needed
After a year of learning coding on my own through youtube and freecodecamp I decided to go for the next gear. LeWagon teaches everything that we need to know to start our activity while learning among amazing teachers and a great group of students. Exchanges with alumnis are welcomed and are working perfectly. - Tanner HallensteinWeb Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • BaliSep 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best choice I've made in a long time!
Le Wagon is a fantastic program that you will not regret choosing. After a lot of research online, I chose Le Wagon based on its reviews. And it just so happened that the reviews were true! The 9-week program will challenge you, but at least in my experience, I never felt overwhelmed.

The teachers were great communicators and guides, making me feel confident in the process every step of the way. The skills you learn are so valuable. You don't just learn static coding skills, but you learn how to learn. Post-camp, I'm strengthening what I learned as well as adding to my knowledge pool much quicker than when I was previously learning on my own. On top of leaving Le Wagon with skills and projects ready to show employers, I also left with amazing bonds made with my classmates. The people you will meet are all people looking to change their lives and work hard for it. So, if you're a potential new student reading this, why not make some friends and change your life? - BorisGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • IstanbulSep 09, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The reason that I decided to learn how to code is I wanted to switch my career into a rapidly developing industry and find work that required constant updating and constant learning. A bootcamp format for me was the best way to learn because I wanted to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible and compared to university, the bootcamp format would offer a lot of actual practice.
Le Wagon had good staff, great challenges, and awesome ping pong! Furthermore, it’s clear that whoever created Le Wagon really knows how to teach the necessary knowledge to the students in a straightforward way.
The first week of the bootcamp is really hard, but after the first few days when your brain is twisted the most, you get used to it. The bootcamp environment was very diverse, with students from all over who were extremely good people. Before joining Le Wagon I didn’t have the best relationship with teachers in general, but Le Wagon’s teachers changed that for me. They were great people, easy going and good at teaching. During the “Tech Talk” webinars I enjoyed hearing from actual alumni who have been through the bootcamp, in addition to insights from actual tech professionals. After the bootcamp “Career Week” helped me to boost my LinkedIn and GitHub profiles, and I actually made a proper CV which I like!
After graduating from Le Wagon, I feel like I can learn anything. The bootcamp taught me how to learn. Reading complicated documentation or furthering my knowledge online isn’t a big deal for me anymore. - Amanda ParanamanaSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneSep 06, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Incredible experience
Joining Le Wagon has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
I have tried to learn software development for a number of years previously through a combination of books and tutorials with no significant results. During my self study I’ve found myself constantly stuck in tutorial loop, quitting and restarting my studies more times than I can count until eventually I completely gave up, concluding that I’m simply not smart enough.<...Joining Le Wagon has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

Enter Le Wagon:
After enrolling into the bootcamp program I noticed a number of differences between what I’ve experienced before and the Le Wagon curriculum. It is simply far better thought out and presented than anything else. On top of that you get immediate feedback from your teachers and TAs, who will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material.
You also get to work within a team of like-minded professionals in the common pursuit of learning and building a kick-ass app for the final project, and to quote Ron Burgundy, “in some cases lasting friendships will be made”.
But wait there is more!- Before the program is over you will have the opportunity to join a career workshop where your CV and LinkedIn page gets an overhaul.
- After the program you can also join a series of career development seminars where you are walked through navigating the job market, cover letters and interviews.
- You also get continuous career coaching and advice both during and after the bootcamp.
Overall, this course is definitely good value! - JosselinStudent • Data Science & AI Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisAug 25, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great!
I expected a lot from Le Wagon for my Data Science formation and the global experience was even better: the contents of the formation and the custom learning platform were really well structured and all the people at Le Wagon very helpful.
I do not regret the time invested in the formation, it really worths it! - BenoitGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • ParisAug 24, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing web dev bootcamp !!
I used to work in Real Estate Services as a Business Manager during 10 years.
In 2021 I launched my own business as a Recruiter.
I always wanted to learn how to make websites, so when I heard about Le Wagon, I knew that it suited me perfectly (beginner accepted, 9 weeks bootcamp).
I really enjoyed my experience in Le Wagon Paris, I highly recommend the Web Dev bootcamp. - hiriartHead of M&A • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Part-time • ParisAug 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Before starting the Wagon I had no experience in coding.

On top of having learnt a new “technical skill” I also discovered a new field that I passionate of. - MattProduct Manager • Student • Web Development Bootcamp - Full-time • MelbourneAug 22, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Well worth the time and money

Portions of the course were taught remotely as Melbourne was in and out of lockdown, but the majority of the class was in person at a co-working space in Richmond.

I went into the course with the expectation of learning the basics of building web apps for my own personal enjoyment and to help me become more technical in future roles. My expectations were definitely exceeded by the end of the 10 weeks. The course was structured really well, and each lesson built on top of the next nicely. The focus on pair programming was really nice too, and it meant learning how to work with others in a technical capacity. The final project was a fantastic experience, and I'm even still using the app that I built during that time. I would highly recommend the full time web dev course to anyone who has similar goals as mine.
