Passionate about tech, I joined Le Wagon's web development spring Bootcamp to learn necessary coding skills and new ways to create businesses.
The training exceeded my expectations: attending Le Wagon's Bootcamp has been a life-changing experience.
Not only I've learned to code and can now call myself a junior full-stack developer. Still, I have also learned a new way of thinking through a start-up entrepreneur spirit.
I've also learned to build an app in a team, work in an agile mode, and pitch my product.
I strongly recommend Le Wagon to anyone interested in web development! -

Coming from advertising, I learned early the importance of having a full overview of the needs regarding an overall project I was cooking up with my team. I quickly felt the need to master the means that would enable me to add a technical support to a project.
After a one year world tour with my brother on a rice and pasta budget, learning a bit of everything from everywhere. I wanted to fulfill my curiosity about coding. That’s why I started learning programming by myself before trying out at the summer pool of 42. Ensuring that it was what I really wanted to do, I then applied for Le Wagon bootcamp after the recommendation of friends/devs of mine.
Le Wagon experience was amazing. Even in remote the team succeeded to make the Bootcamp super effective. This is an occasion to meet and befriend great individuals during 9 weeks. And to create a project from scratch while acquiring new skills everyday.
That’s a real pleasure to be part of Le Wagon family, a community always active and open to everyone.
If you are considering joining Le Wagon bootcamp, don’t and join us ! :truck: -

Before started my amazing experience at Le Wagon Paris, i was working as a nurse for 3 years.
I've heard some people who had a wonderfull experience and now i know why ! Le wagon gave me the opportunity to learn coding so fast, they have a great pedagogy and they share their passion every day. You just need to know that you won't be
disappointed no matter your level in code !
One good point with Le Wagon is that you can continue the experience as a teacher assistant with the others students, and you be part of the community of the Alumni, which is very helpfull when you need it ! -

My experience at Le Wagon | Chef >> Fullstack Developer |
Read more Read less of Jérémy Barbedienne's review
Before Le Wagon, I started my career as a chef in 3 star Michelin restaurants and I've been working in many restaurants around the world for nearly 8 years. Le Wagon was for me the opportunity to learn a new skill and change my everyday routine. I never thought I would learn so much in such a short period of time! We worked in remote and I think that's what made it easier for me to focus. I think the teaching method is already well established and proven anyway, what I can say is that it works on people who are not too academic like me! I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that everyone socialised very quickly, despite the distance. The lockdown context changed the socials habits but it's still allowed us to benefit from "Le Wagon network" which is one of the strengths for which I chose this bootcamp. At the end of my batch, I even had the opportunity to be a teacher assistant and it's a pleasure for me to help students learning. -

I attended Le Wagon to boost my understanding of code and web development in general. I was a Product Owner for three years and was facing everyday technical issues which had a big impact on my job and my company. At Le Wagon, I found that precious tech boost and much much more : a real Product building culture, great lessons about how to work in team, and friendship with many passionate people from diverse backgrounds. Big up to the teaching team ! -

A Life-Changing Experience at Le Wagon Singapore
Read more Read less of Alvin Lim's review
I've just completed the most gruelling 9 weeks of my life -- Le Wagon Singapore's web developer bootcamp. I started as a complete code newbie and now have several web apps deployed to Heroku, including my coding team's beautiful capstone project Savvy Granny (www.savvy-granny.com).
I am a mid-career convert to the tech sector. In my earlier career I was an academic. After publishing two books, I felt burned out and wanted to create and build things instead of analyze or write about them. The idea of coding bootcamp appealed to me, but with my liberal arts background, it just seemed impossibly difficult.
The turning point for me was when I came across a post from Le Wagon's co-founder Sébastien Saunier explaining why they taught Ruby. His description of Ruby as "simple, concise, close to the English language and very flexible" intrigued me, and I soon signed up for Codecademy's free Ruby course. I decided that if I could learn Ruby, then I could handle a coding bootcamp.
As it turned out, I not only completed Codecademy's Ruby course, I found it incredibly fun! Coding was not at all what I had previously imagined it to be. I signed up for Le Wagon's web developer bootcamp, and began learning as much as I could about technology, almost as if to make up for lost time.
The bootcamp itself was a blast. Everyday we did a series of Codewars-type coding challenges, and we began building things with code. One of the earliest and most gratifying moments for me was when I built my personal website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and deployed it to GitHub Pages. I had built my previous website with WordPress' drag-and-drop interface -- lacking at that time any knowledge of CSS -- so I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment in coding my own website.
Once we moved into Ruby on Rails, we began building apps that we could deploy on Heroku. We started small -- simple productivity tools like to-do lists, and then we moved into larger apps. Along the way, I had gained the confidence to start building my own projects.
The climax of the bootcamp was the two weeks spent building our capstone projects. I was extremely fortunate to be grouped with three talented developers, and we quickly built the guts of the app in the first week, and methodically built out the special features of the app in the second. I was especially pleased that our app serves the urgent social need of bridging the generational digital divide.
Now that the bootcamp is over, my fellow grads and I have the technical foundation to learn and build more. Our familiarity with the Rails framework has given us the confidence to move into other frameworks, in particular React. I for one am excited about the new apps that we are going to build. -

I recommend 100%
I started Le Wagon bootcamp in Lausanne with no previous knowledge of coding. In two months I learned all the basics to start a career in software and developed a full web application.
Teachers are very supportive, and the whole experience was very fun.
I definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in coding and wants to make a career switch. -

I was working in the retail industry in Toronto when I decided to learn code, and I chose to do the Web Development bootcamp with Le Wagon, located in Montreal for 9 weeks. My experience with Le Wagon was really inspiring, challenging at times, and my life did change by learning how to code. I was in a team of four during project week, and we created an app called “Buddy”. It is designed for solo travelers to find buddies for activities in any country.
Since I did the course during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was really impressed on how fast the Le Wagon team was able to convert the course to be done remotely. I highly recommend Le Wagon; the support system is phenomenal, and it was an amazing experience.

I was invited to one demo day in 2019 and I was surprised about the quality of the projects developed in 9 weeks. Because of my entrepreneurial projects, I decided to learn to code and the Wagon was the best place for it. The experience, the teachers and the system implemented on Covid19 period, was under my expectation and I can say that my life changed after the bootcamp. If you are thinking about learning how to code, go to Le Wagon !

I started following online coding courses on a few websites during my free time, which I really enjoy doing! But even though these classes give you some notions and understanding of coding, you will still not be able to build proper websites or won’t have actual projects to work on. After contacting a few people who also did bootcamps, I decided to take the plunge and quit my job to do Le Wagon. It didn’t only confirm my interest in coding but got me truly addicted to it!
These 9 weeks are the most intense and amazing weeks I have had. The amount you learn in such a short time is fantastic! Their teaching methods are absolutely great, all teachers have done the bootcamp before so everyone knows what can be more complex and when you need more support. They will teach you how manually code/build something before showing you that it can be done in one line, which makes you understand how the language is actually built and how it works.
Not only did I learn tons but I also met with great people that come from various horizons!
I will recommend this to anyone having an interest for coding and wanting to dedicate themselves to it! Would definitely do it again if I could! -

Great teaching, great experience

I did Le Wagon with no prior coding experience. I still can't believe how much I've learned in such a short period of time! The bootcamp was intense, yet completely doable. With some classmates I ended up building two full-fledged, professional-looking websites that I'm really proud of. The experience was great - even remotely as I did the bootcamp during COVID lockdown. The atmosphere is fun, people are super nice, and it's clear that teachers make a real effort to make the lectures as clear as possible and make sure that every student gets the most out of the bootcamp. The skills we learn in this short period are enough to make us employable, and graduates are finding jobs despite the post-COVID job market being extremely tough. 100% recommend! -

O bootcamp le wagon cumpre bem oque promete, muita mão na massa durante as 9 semanas de duração, num ritmo extremamente intenso.
Antes do curso eu tinha pouca base em programação, mas hoje sei que é possível desenvolver qualquer coisa.
Mesmo tendo que fazer de maneira remota por conta do COVID, me senti extremamente acolhido por toda a equipe, desde os professores e TA's até os organizadores do bootcamp.
Antes mesmo de finalizar as 9 semanas, ja estava sendo chamado para testes em algumas empresas e hoje atuo como Analista Front End. -

"Change your life" - Trust me, is not just a catchphrase! (batch#354)
Read more Read less of Yuri Gravatá's review
Probably you are reading this because you're in doubt about doing or not this bootcamp. Trust me, if you really want to change your career path and be headed to the tech world, there is no doubt, do Le Wagon's bootcamp as soon as you can!
"Why Le Wagon"?
Le Wagon's bootcamp stands out more than any other online material and any other bootcamp, because the method is really good ... I did a lot of online courses before Le Wagon and what it took me months to learn on the internet, at Le Wagon was matter of days. The course method is very well designed, you can learn different programming languages and you are taught to think and work in a way that the market values and that other courses are unlikely to teach you.
"Is it for anyone?"
Yes. Even if you never coded anything and don't have a clue about a thing.
The bootcamp is well suited for anyone that want to enter the tech world. Doesn't matter if you want to be a developer, a product manager, or want to found a new tech startup. All these profiles have a lot to gain doing the course. Take my example: I'm a business graduate, with 7 years of professional experience in retail, sales, financial market and business developing. Neither of these roles I filled in the past, I worked with code. But here I am, a Le Wagon graduate, with a new career and new challenges ahead. Now the possibilities are infinite and I have what takes to grow in any direction in this evolving tech world.
"But they teach Ruby on Rails..."
Many former students had exactly this doubt while were deciding about doing or not the bootcamp. Nowdays Python is for example, the most asked language in many companies and startups. But again, I ask you to trust me, once you complete the bootcamp, you'll master any programming language in no time.
The most valuable thing in Le Wagon's method is not what is teached, but how is teached. You'll learn how to learn anything.
Most former students learn Python (for example) easily, right after the course is finished, because now is simple. Now they know how to, without having headaches and doubts about how to.
Part-time or fulltime?
This is a personal option. You need to know if you have time (then do the fulltime bootcamp) or not (then do the part-time bootcamp). Either one of them you'll learn how to code, at the best Le Wagon style.
But it's worth learn remotely?
With the advent of Covid-19 the world was forced to major changes. Le Wagon isn't immune to that.
Yes, there is a difference between learning in person and remotely. The dynamics of human contact is too positive and facilitates the learning, it is a fact. It turns out that Le Wagon has dealt with this adaptability, which the covid-19 has been imposing on the world, since the beginning of the year, and because of this, the course went through some adaptations and was able to teach and support students as well as before.
I think that the thing it's most important to pay attention is that you must have focus and discipline with the remote way of studying. Without this, you will not learn at all (just as you would not learn if you were studying in person without focus). It's important that people that lives with you respect your need of privacy to study.
Another very good thing about this reality is that working on team projects remotely is a softskill that many companies are asking for new employees, and while most people say they know how to work like this, in reality they never really worked that way. The remote Le Wagon course makes you really learn this softskill... you really accumulate one more important point in the curriculum, which every technology company will ask.
I think this cover the main doubts about the course and if you have any other left, just ask any former student. We are always pleased to help anyone that want to change their life! -

Review of Le Wagon web development bootcamp
Read more Read less of Brad's review
The first time I visited the website of Le Wagon, I was immediately intrigued by the promise “Change your life, learn to code”. Unable to get these words out of my head, and having previously studied liberal arts and business with work experience in luxury retail, digital marketing and higher education management, I decided to make a significant career “pivot” by leaving my full-time job and joining Le Wagon’s full-stack web development bootcamp last April.
Having freshly finished, I must say that it has indeed been a life-changing experience.
Before joining the program I had never written a line of code, and was a bit intimidated by the prep work and extensiveness of the syllabus. From day 1 I immediately appreciated the support from Le Wagon professors, TA’s and staff members as well as from the fellow students of my batch #400. The program is carefully designed to walk us through a wide range of concepts and languages during a compact 9 weeks on our way to becoming full-stack web developers.
The innovative approach to learning mixes theory with a lot of practice. The typical day is punctuated by a lecture in the morning and live code in the evening, with the rest of the time dedicated to exercises with a “buddy”, teaching us the flexibility necessary to work side-by-side with a wide range of profiles.
There is an optional career week which provides students a multitude of resources as they take their next steps as web developers, product managers, freelancers or entrepreneurs.
I think that what I appreciated the most about the bootcamp was the enthusiasm of the professors and the quality of their teaching. One can feel their genuine passion for coding and their motivation to share their knowledge with us.
Studying at Le Wagon is not only about acquiring valuable technical skills. It is also an exhilarating human experience and strong sense of community. -

I just finished my bootcamp at Le Wagon Paris and I must say that I am very pleased with the quality of this formation. I always wanted to learn to code and tried many platform on the web to do it alone but it was really hard. With Le Wagon I had a real structure with professionals to accompany me step by step to learn programmation languages. The training was punctuated between lessons time and exercices of the day that we can do with our "buddies of the day" , a really nice approach to learn how to work as a Dev with teams that change every day.What I liked the most is that we worked on many interesting apps that are interesting to reproduce for clients now : everything we learnt can now be use in real life :) - The panel of corses was diversified : Ruby (Rails), SQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript - a large program that our teachers successfully manage to make us learn during 9 weeks only !
At the end of the training, Le Wagon organized a Career Week to help the transition and we had a lot of webinars with startupers to advise us about the best practices and the strategies to adopt right after a bootcamp, it was really nice ! -

TL/DR - Best Learning exp of my life - Batch#409
Read more Read less of Viktor's review
Graduated in Business-Administration, before LW I always worked as a Finance Analyst and had ZERO prior knowledge of actual coding. My interest on the subject begun three months ealier, when I realized I wasn't feeling relized in my career path. Knowing that, a friend from the area sent me the link of LW's bootcamp. And changed my life in doing so.
I was really worried before starting on doing this remote because of the pandemic, but it never really felt remote. Being on the virtual tables the whole day with your collegues, doing the challenges and projects, and always in touch with the TAs for questions and help, I really felt the same way I would do in a presencial. And that by itself is already an achievement
But wasn't the only one, LW experience was just incredible!!
From start to end. The team, the content, the course structure, the events, the job hunt support, the culture. Hell, even the flashcards. I know this sounds unbelievable, but I mean it, everything, every and each little part of it surpassed my expectations.
If I had to name the best things about it I would have a hard time, but there are two that I would like to mention:
One is Kitt, their learning plataform. Kitt is just outright amazing, so lets just take that out of the way.
The second was the team. I never felt that I had teachers that cared so much about my learning like I did in Le Wagon. Matheus, Isa, Marcel, Andre and Milene are not only great TAs/Manager, but great people. (some of them are kinda crazy, but that's for the better).
And I know that all of this may sound like too much fandom, like if I was in love with LW. Don't worry, I'm not.
I'm just in love with coding, and Le Wagon is responsible for it.

Before starting LW, I worked teaching private math classes and needed to travel all over the city of Rio de Janeiro, to serve students from different locations. Then, in 2015, I came up with the idea of making an app for online classes, but I didn't have the technical knowledge to do it. I met LW in 2019, through a friend who was always present at the workshops, so I started to follow the school on Instagram. I read a lot about the course and definitely understood that I needed LW to start a new career.
Even though it was e-learning (because of COVID), I was able to count on an excellent service system offered by the school, which has Milene, an excellent bootcamp manager and a wonderful team of teachers.
In addition, we have lifetime access to the platform, which guarantees us to be in direct contact with any news and also to Slack, which is another wonderful tool.
Now I feel ready to enter a new job market. And I'm sure I can count on LW for any kind of situation related to the new phase in my career. -

I joined Le Wagon because I wanted a structured, approach to learning coding where all of the most basic concepts would be covered and the bootcamp definitely delivered. We’d learn theory and concepts (like MVC) in the morning lecture - which always had many examples, and after we’d get a chance to try it out ourselves. The very hands on and product-orientated approach was by far the best way to learn. The TA System was also great - normally you wouldn’t have to wait more than 10 mins to be seen by someone who would help point you in the right direction. I was recommended Le Wagon by a former student of theirs, and I can now only advise anyone thinking of doing the bootcamp: DO IT!!! You will not regret it!!! -

In my previous role as a tech recruiter, I’d hear stories of the projects developers were working on and the impacts they were able to have in their industries. One day I took a leap and chose to join Le Wagon so I could finally explore that freedom in my career.
I started the batch just as covid hit, so we switched to remote learning. I was impressed by how seamless the learning process was - we were constantly supported by staff every minute and everything was easily accessible online.
The course is incredibly product focused which allowed my team of 4 to flex our knowledge quickly, building our interactive app DI-WISE from scratch in 10 days. Once you lean into the the process of learning quickly, it was so satisfying to realise how second nature coding had become!
What stayed with me overall is the Le Wagon community - we became so close on the course, and Le Wagon go out of their way after the course ends to make sure you are never alone in the path you choose to take. We are looking forward to our batch party once isolation is over! -

I joined Le Wagon to learn new skills I could complement with my current career path. Even though I had some previous experience with programming, I was never really good at it. At the beginning of the bootcamp I struggled a bit to understand some of the concepts but as we progressed everything just started to click. The practical approach and "product-first" mentality taken by the bootcamp allowed for things to sink in, which to me is amazing considering they go over a lot of concepts, all in 9 weeks.
Whether you are looking to gain new skills for a job or wanting to bring your ideas to life, Le Wagon can teach you everything you need to get into tech.
I would Highly recommend Le Wagon Mexico as a starting point to jump into a career in web dev. The branch in Mexico city has the most amazing and welcoming team to support you throughout your journey and even after the completion of the bootcamp.
TLDR: Great curriculum, amazing people, unforgettable experience.
LW truly delivers on their slogan: Change your life, learn to code.

I have always felt that the weakest point in my professional life was the lack of technical skills, last year I decided to learn how to code in order to fill the gap. After a lot of research, I decided to enroll in Le Wagon´s Fullstack Developer Program and I´m so glad I did. Le Wagon not only helped me get the foundations on all the technologies involved in web development, but it also encouraged me to build my own products since the program is geared towards entrepreneurship. Besides the knowledge (which would be worth it on its own), I also got to meet incredible people from all walks of life who inspired me and continue to support me in my journey. Hands down, the best money I have ever spent on education! -

I used to work at Microsoft as a consultant within the Identity and Security organisation covering all over the EMEA region. Seven months ago, I was looking for a change from handling systems to handling data and solving real-world problems. The data science boot-camp at Le Wagon helped me achieve that by providing the necessary tools to understand what Data Science is all about. It’s an intensive boot-camp where pre-work is key. The teachers, TAs and Le Wagon staff are 100% available. They made sure we deepened our knowledge in addition to building products from scratch, working in teams and being part of a network. I had a great time and I took advantage of all the resources available: online classes, events around full stack web technologies, talks with inspiring entrepreneurs, volunteering at a Data For Good project and being a Teacher Assistant.
It’s an amazing experience that will definitely leverage your analytical skills in an innovative field where computer science, math, statistics are all involved and furthermore advance your career in a data-driven world. -

I would recommend Le Wagon 100% to who ever is thinking about changing carreers, which was my case. I'm a Economics graduate with a masters in Public Policy and I have been working in the public sector for the past 5 years. Some aspects of the public sector started to frustate me to the point that I realize it would be nice to try something diffenrent.
Le Wagon taught me the full process of web development and how to work with technology using the best resources available. The learning methodology is incredible; the progression of the learning process is perfect (not too slow and always allowing you push yourself further with extra challenges); the atmosphere and the teachers are awesome; the whole process, from setup day to demo day feels like a pleasent learning experience focused on collaboration. The tools are there, the teachers are always available to help and it's really up to you to just focus on the joruney, put the hours in that in the end of 6 months (I did the part-time) you will be able to call you a junior developer.
I feel prepare to apply for dev jobs and as soon I quit my job that's what I'll do. -

Le Wagon is one of most famous bootcamp out there, is not cheap and after the course i know why, is hard to find a course that really worth the money, that one does, the material is out standing everything was thought to make sense, every class, challenges, the teachers, everything is out standing.
I was a skeptic, I already had my share of code courses and never was afraid to spend full days studying , even then the time I most evolved in coding was through Le Wagon Bootcamp, Teachers and community always there to assist you, an opportunity to work in heterogeneous group, bump your heads and solve problems, why learning end to end development, to the way you think the product until you delivers it, this was a awesome experience. -

Looking back one year after finishing Le Wagon I can honnestly say that it was one of the best decision I ever made. I wanted to be a web developer and Le Wagon was exactly the kick start I needed. It felt like taking the highway without speed limit. Nevertheless, it's not magical, but nothing is. Not for you if you're lazy, not for you if you are a complete stranger to a computer.
The unexpected value was for me the amazing network you are gonna be part of as an alumni. -

After completing a master’s degree in business administration, I worked as a Product Marketing Manager in a tech company for three years. During that time, I worked closely with the company’s developers to build websites. Despite being a techie, I sometimes felt hindered by my inability to 'speak the language' with the tech teams. That’s why I first decided to learn how to code.
After attending Le Wagon in Paris, I realized that coding could be something more than just better communication with developers, because I could be a developer myself! Le Wagon gave me the keys to start a new career as a web developer and create amazing websites and applications. -

I overall had an amazing time at Le Wagon. First, teachers and teaching assistants were very professional and always there to make sure each subject is properly understood by the students. They try very hard (and with success I must admit) to answer every possible questions you may have. Then you have that sense of community building up throughout the duration of the course. Because you get to meet almost every other students thanks to the buddy system they have in place. Basically you randomly get a new partner every single day to spend the day with, help each other on challenging exercises. You literally have access to all almunis should you have any questions and that is great too ! The only regret I may have is that time just flies like crazy there. I had such a fun time that 9 weeks felt like a few days. -

We use apps everyday but we usually have no clue how they are being created!
Le Wagon helped me to get these Web Dev skills so I can created my own.
It was very intensive but it served its purpose of ensuring that students can truly give digital life to their ideas!
Also a great opportunity to travel and learn! I choose the Melbourne Campus to discover Australia and I'm not regretting it!
I'd say that the only negative point would be that we don't learn the most "used" language. Ruby on Rails is very practical to create your own apps but it's not the most common language that digital agencies are using to create websites ... -

When I first made the decision to change my career and pursue web development, I had a skeptical attitude towards Le Wagon (and bootcamps in general). I wondered, "Can't I just learn everything on my own online? And how is it possible that Le Wagon can have a nearly perfect rating online?" Still, I took the plunge and registered, and I'm so glad that I did. In fact, my only regret is I wish I would have gone through Le Wagon's program sooner in my life.
Each day during the bootcamp is long, and the pace is intense as there are lectures and coding challenges each and every day. At the same time, the program was extremely enjoyable. The curriculum is very well organized and gives you everything you need to develop and make progress as a developer. The coding challenges are well thought out, and they do a great job of reinforcing the lessons from that day's lecture. And finally, I can't say enough about the quality of the teachers. Not only are they extremely skilled at programming, and not only are they are excellent communicators who actually try to teach in a way that's clear and engaging, they are also great people who are really professional, patient, and fun.
I mentioned above that I used to wonder how Le Wagon can have a nearly perfect rating online. But now that I've gone through their program, I can safely say that Le Wagon's rating is very well-deserved. -

I decided to enroll at Le Wagon during the summer of my second year of computer science to complete my theoretical knowledge with concrete skills in web development. It was an amazing experience where I learned a lot. It really gives you a clear understanding of how the web works and how you can develop a complete web application from scratch, understanding both the frontend and the backend. On top of that, I learned a few design and project management skills as well. Comparing to my master's degree in Software Engineering, I would say Le Wagon's coding bootcamp is equivalent to 2 years of study in the field. The teachers are excellent, the courses really well designed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to learn how to code. -

I had been working as a Civil Engineer and during my free time I started to learn coding to make games on unity. However I felt I was just coding what I memorized without knowing the logics. I thought I didn't have the foundation of programming I need, so thats why I decided to join Le Wagon.
It was very challenging 9-weeks that I have learnt about programming foundations, web development, teamwork, and project management. At the end of the bootcamp, I had 2 big team projects and many personal projects as well. It was one of the most challenging and enjoyable period in my life. -

If you are reading this review and wondering if you should dive into the world of coding, just do it.
I graduated one of the popular universities in Japan with B.A. and got government related job for my first career. After that, I became a recruiter and developed my career in HR and recruitment industry. In my life, everything was always competitive like getting into a good university, getting a job at a famous company, and being a top sales at my work place... but I always knew that I don't have a proven skill which I can show off to people in a different environment. I wanted to have a skill which I can keep improving in my life. This is why I chose to learn coding and Le Wagon.
First, everything was so new to me and I struggled a lot with understanding the whole concept of programming language. The course was intense but one day I realized myself that I was enjoying coding from the bottom of my heart. There are many ways to learn programming in this society, but I still strongly recommend Le Wagon as there are awesome teachers who dedicate themselves to support and motivate students. I was always the one asking teachers a question but all of them are very supportive and I could finally manage finishing the course with my own web app.
I can't imagine myself now without having this amazing experience at Le Wagon and I really want to tell myself in the past that I made a great decision to join Le Wagon. I now want to keep coding and improving my skill and tell people around me that everything started from the first day at Le Wagon.
