Le Wagon

My name is Mireia. Originally from Spain, I was part of Batch 341 of Le Wagon in Barcelona.

First of all, I have to say that I was a little worried because I didn’t have any background in tech. I studied business management. And before the bootcamp I was working at a coworking space in Barcelona as a Community Manager. So my knowledge about the tech world was more related to business and not in a technical way.

My first contact with programming was because of my brother. He was learning computer science and one day while he was coding a videogame I asked him how he did it. Once he started explaining it to me was just amazed! I thought that it was incredible all the things you were able to do with something called “methods” and with a couple of parenthesis.

Then I decided to start digging into programming to know at last the basics and my curiosity grew to a point where I started talking to everyone about it. A friend of mine told me that if I was really interested in it the best way to get started would be a coding bootcamp. He recommended to me the one at Le Wagon. His girlfriend did it one year ago and she was very happy after doing it. And now she was currently working in a company as a backend developer.

I looked it up and had great reviews. The program was very complete and they seemed to have a nice community of people so I decided to join it.

When I show it to one of my friends who is a software developer he couldn’t believe that they would be able to teach so much in just 9 weeks.

Since the very first moment Le Wagon felt like the perfect place to me. It didn’t feel like a regular school at all. It was an open space full of awesome and smart people from all over the world ready to do their best and learn as much as possible. I felt like I was back at the coworking space.

Because I am someone who believes that the only way to learn is by doing, I really enjoyed the format of the bootcamp. We had one and a half hours of lecture in the morning and we were solving different challenges in pairs for the rest of the day for the first 7 weeks.

In the last two weeks we had a big project to build our own web application from scratch. When that started was the moment when I realised: “Wow! I actually know how to do this!” I couldn’t believe it. After just 7 weeks we developed an awesome product called BoostIt, which I am really proud of and is now part of my portfolio.

I cannot be anything but grateful to Le Wagon’s team. They were very helpful, inspirational and they never said no. It didn’t matter how challenging anything we wanted to build was. They helped me to realize that it doesn’t matter the background or experience that you have, if you really want, you can learn how to code.

So now, do you want to know what’s the best part of the bootcamp?

The fact that the end is the starting point for your new life! You don’t say goodbye on your last day. You say “see you soon, friends!” Once you finish you are part of this big community they have and you are still in touch with all the TAs, your colleagues and other people that did the bootcamp.

Now I cannot wait to keep learning and growing as a full stack developer. The tech world is what I like and I am looking forward to see how far the projects I am currently working on go.

Thank you Le Wagon Barcelona #341!

Eu me inscrevi para o curso de desenvolvedor web do Lê Wagon com o objetivo de entender melhor a dinâmica de programação. Como fundador de uma Startup de tecnologia tinha um problema de assimetria de informação gigantesco perante aos programadores. Era impossível ter uma noção a respeito do tempo e dos custos necessários para a construção das funções exigidas. Tendo esse objetivo em mente, acredito que o Lê Wagon até mesmo superou as minhas expectativas. Hoje me considero apto a entender e até mesmo orientar processos.

Além disso, é importante acrescentar que a vivência de trabalho em grupo, criação e gerenciamento de projetos, introdução a design de produtos, além de conceitos de marketing essenciais para a construção de um projeto, tais como a definição de uma persona, mostram que o título de desenvolvimento web não está adequado ao que vocês oferecem. O curso acrescenta skills que superam muito o de programação.

Por fim, além dos skills técnicos anteriormente abordados gostaria de salientar os quesitos sociais. Eventos, um ambiente descontraído e todo o cuidado com as pessoas presentes dão a estrutura necessária para que os estudantes  suportem a situação de stress a que são submetidos durante as 9 semanas do curso.

Na minha opinião o Lê Wagon não vende um curso de programação e sim uma experiência. E isso supera muito um curso de programação. Eu fiz Work Experience
durante 3 meses nos Estados Unidos. É impressionante como eu consigo traçar um paralelo entre os dois. É algo que lembrarei com carinho, que contarei histórias aos amigos e que ficará marcado em mim para sempre.

Por fim, gostaria de agradecer mais uma vez pelo serviço prestado, por toda a atenção e carinho dos professores e principalmente pelo excelente trabalho de condução da Bootcamp Manager Milene.

My name is Isac Giuk Kim and I am from Ecuador. My major in university was marketing; however, I decided to teach English in China. After two years in China, I decided to hop onto a different career path, a web-developer. I have always been interested in learning coding for many reasons. First, by learning how to code I would have more of a hands-on approach when marketing products or services if I decided to work in marketing. Second, coding would allow me to transform my ideas and others into reality. Third, as a web-developer, you can work remotely, which is perfect for me because I love to travel and experience different cultures. Last, there are many job opportunities for web-developers. For these reasons I started taking coding online courses, but it was not easy for me to do them so I started my search for coding boot camps and found Le Wagon.   My time in Le Wagon was just incredible. I thought it was a very well structured program. We would learn to code everything from scratch and then used tools to shorten our code. This approach of teaching allowed me to have a better understanding of how the code worked. With the buddy system and daily challenges, it helped me comprehend the code better because we would explain to other classmates the process of the code of the day. All the teachers and teacher assistants were very knowledgeable and helped us to not only complete the challenges but to understand it and comprehend it. I have emphasized the understanding of the process of coding because without understanding there is no comprehension and without it, we cannot grow as web-developers.   I finished Le Wagon in December 2019. At the moment, my group and I are still working to improve our previous projects from our time in Le Wagon, while looking for jobs using the tools provided by Le Wagon. One of our projects is Airpet, an application that allows you to rent a pet from a shelter to support the shelter and allow the animals to become more social. Our second project is Uproot, an application that will match you with a city that will satisfy all your needs. There will be more projects to come. Read less

I was introduced into the business world quite early at 18 years old and since that day, even during the university years I searched for new opportunities to make money. But at some point that game becomes boring and I felt like I hit the ceiling and I couldn’t move forward. I was like that for a couple of years. Then I remembered that when I was very young I was curious about coding, so I began searching for articles on this topic. Day by day, course by course I started to feel what code was about and at some point I wanted more. I felt the need of guidance and of a good way of learning, a program built by professionals and not the usual “Learn this in 2019” or “Why you should learn that in 2019". In those days I found out about Le Wagon…

Why did I choose Barcelona? First of all I wanted the program in english, second I wanted a city that I liked and last, but not least I wanted to feel that the team was the one for me. I watched some videos online and I decided that Gus de Vita, the founder of Le Wagon Barcelona could be the answer, then I read all that I could find about the rest of the team and finally the interview with Ellyn convinced me that this was the best choice. And it was!

The experience was amazing, the team was great and very supportive and my colleagues were like “handpicked”. Getting me out of my office and into this “it crowd” was the best thing that I did for me in a long time. So not only that I learned a lot about coding, but also I got to change the way I see my life. Learning to code changed even the way I think when I have to solve a problem that has nothing to do with it.

9 weeks of intense coding, over 20000 lines of code, one product http://www.epicenter.live/ and friends are the things that I got in Barcelona and I am so proud of them.

Now, my life is not boring anymore because learning to code is a lifetime job. I continue to learn online because Le Wagon offers courses even after the boot camp is over and I am preparing to become a better full stack web developer.

I was working in hospitality and as an administrator for most of my life. I’m 32 years old now and things have started to feel a bit stale for me. Felt I needed more creativity in my life hence why I looked into web development.

Signing up for the Le Wagon coding bootcamp in Barcelona was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is a very intensive course, often able to make you feel frustrated, but the staff is incredibly supportive and always there to help. You get to work on great projects and, by the end of the course, you'll be able to create web applications and also learn the entire technical workflow of how to work in a team.

I got a job in Barcelona, not quite related with the bootcamp, but now I’ll have the chance to further my knowledge and visit the school whenever possible!
You can expect great support from the staff after the bootcamp and access to a lot of learning material and perks - Kitt for life!!!

Désormais alumni du Wagon Bordeaux, j’ai effectué la formation cet automne. J’ai passé 9 semaines entouré par une équipe de professeurs et un staff toujours présent et à l’écoute. Mes camarades ont également été un très grand soutien alors que pour la plupart ils étaient, comme moi et n’avaient jamais codé.Nous sommes une promotion très soudée, l’entraide au court de la formation a été un réel plaisir et l’est encore aujourd’hui. L’ambiance avec l’équipe comme avec les élèves était parfaite.D’un point de vue technique la formation du Wagon est très complète. Une fois la formation terminée, nous avons toutes les clés en main pour réussir dans le domaine de la tech.
Bonne chance aux futurs alumni et un grand merci à toute l’équipe du Wagon Bordeaux.

Batch 325 - octobre 2019 - Quand j'ai cherché une formation pour apprendre à coder et compléter mon bagage d'UX/UI designer, tous les avis que l'on me donnait renvoyait vers le Wagon. Après le travail préparatoire et la sélection, les cours ont commencé et j'ai été plus que satisfait. Si les cours sont très intenses, la pédagogie permet d'assimiler rapidement les concepts et les mettre en application tout aussi rapidement. Surtout on est en permanence entouré par l'équipe de teacher assistants qui nous accompagnent et nous guident. Le Wagon est une formation d'une intensité pédagogique et humaine incroyable et je le recommande à toute personne qui souhaite apprendre à coder.

J’ai fait la formation du Wagon en octobre dernier et je ne regrette vraiment pas mon choix. L’équipe est vraiment top ! Les professeurs nous transmettent leur savoir avec bonne humeur, ce qui est indispensable vu le rythme de la formation.

En effet la formation est très dense puisque la promesse est forte. Apprendre à coder en 9 semaines paraît presque impossible sur le papier et pourtant tous les étudiants ressortent avec bases très solides pour coder et surtout approfondir des notions beaucoup plus facilement. La méthode pédagogique du Wagon est à mon sens géniale et permet d’atteindre cet objectif très ambitieux. Elle permet également d’assimiler beaucoup mieux et de devenir autonome puisqu’on ne nous donne pas la solution directement mais plutôt des pistes pour y arriver. N’oublions pas que le quotidien des développeurs c’est de résoudre des problèmes, il est donc indispensable d’acquérir cette autonomie.

La notion d’entraide est aussi très présente et importante puisque tous les étudiants rencontrent des moments difficiles (frustrations, inquiétudes) pendant la formation. Le fait d’avoir un partenaire différent chaque jour nous permet de rencontrer tout le monde et de créer une cohésion très forte au sein de la promo. Il n’y aucune compétition ce qui permet de se développer et de s’épanouir tellement plus vite. Durant les deux dernières semaines, nous travaillons sur des projets de groupes et cette cohésion fait vraiment la différence.

Malgré les coups durs sur certains jours de la formation, j’ai été capable de coder un projet de A à Z. Avec le recul j’ai appris énormément en deux mois et on ne s’en rend pas forcément compte quand on a la tête dans le guidon pendant la formation mais à la sortie c’est vraiment gratifiant.

Je recommande vivement cette formation pour tous ceux qui souhaitent apprendre à coder même si vous n’avez aucune base. Gardez néanmoins à l’esprit que c’est une formation de deux mois et qu’il faut bien entendu continuer à approfondir ses connaissances, se perfectionner et découvrir de nouveaux langages.

Having worked in finance and advertising previously, I have always wanted to find a job where I could combine technical, problem solving skills with creativity. I didn't know that this is what coding is until I started Le Wagon's Full Stack coding bootcamp. I looked forward to each week as we were set problem solving tasks each day and worked in pairs. It was tough but extremely satisfying when you crack it! You are also working with like-minded people every day which is extremely inspiring. The TA's that help you are amazing, they have all gone through the bootcamp themselves and you can tell how passionate they are about the process. Finding Le Wagon has given me a direction in my career that I didn't realise existed and I am very thankful for that!

'After 5 years as a Management Consultant I was ready for my next challenge, I was hungry to learn and I wanted to future proof my career by learning technical skills in an industry that offers more work life balance and flexibility. I did a lot of research into different coding schools and went along to some of the end of bootcamp demo days. For me, Le Wagon really stood out. 

After 9 weeks on the course, I’m not surprised they have been voted the #1 coding bootcamp 4 years running (SwitchUp). I have learnt more than I could have imagined over the course of 9 weeks and I’ve made some amazing friends. I’m also extremely proud of the projects our team built during the final weeks and confident in the skills that Le Wagon have taught me.

What I think sets Le Wagon apart from the rest is their teachers and course organisers. The enthusiasm, patience and level of investment in your development is inspiring. I couldn’t recommend Le Wagon highly enough and if anyone is struggling with this difficult decision, don’t waste any more time, get onboard Le Wagon!'

J’ai toujours été passionné par les nouvelles technologies. À 36 ans j’étais cadre dans la restauration depuis 8 ans dont 7 passées à Paris. Mon métier consistait à piloter une ou plusieurs boutiques avec des équipes de 20 à 60 personnes. Un an après être revenu à Bordeaux, j’ai découvert le Wagon en passant devant tous les jours. J’étais curieux de voir toutes ces personnes de tout âge travailler ensemble. J’ai tout de suite été attiré par la promesse de cette formation.
Depuis déjà un an je réfléchissais à une reconversion professionnelle avec pour objectif d’évoluer dans un domaine qui me plait et dans lequel je serai amené à apprendre quotidiennement.
N’ayant aucune expérience en informatique je me suis tout d’abord renseigné sur cette formation en me rendant aux nombreuses conférences que donne le Wagon dans ses locaux. Conférences durant lesquelles j’ai pu rencontrer d’anciens alumni et assister au Demo Day pour découvrir les projets de groupes ce qui m’a définitivement convaincu. La qualité des applications fabriquées par ces élèves en si peu de temps était bluffante.
Ce qui m’a plu dans la formation du Wagon c’est la pédagogie qui est différente de tout ce que j’ai pu connaître. J’ai apprécié le système de buddies qui permet d’évoluer chaque jour avec un élève différent et l’entraide que cela procure. C’est une aventure humaine riche en émotions.
J’ai appris à apprendre par moi-même et je pense que c’est ça la force du Wagon. Cette formation est très intense mais plus les journées passent, plus on se rend compte du chemin parcouru.

Avant de faire le Wagon je travaillais en tant qu’infirmier à l’hôpital. Loin du monde de l’informatique mais désireux d’entreprendre une reconversion professionnelle dans ce domaine, j’ai commencé à chercher une formation tech. Il y en a beaucoup, bien évidemment toutes ne se valent pas. Je me suis intéressé à la formation que propose le Wagon. J’ai eu de nombreux retours positifs d’amis à propos de ce bootcamp et j’ai passé l’entretien de sélection. Une fois admis, s’en est suivi le travail préparatoire qui demande un investissement certain.Je viens de finir Le Wagon en décembre, ça à été 10 semaines très intenses et une expérience humaine extraordinaire. En technique j’ai énormément appris et j’ai dû me montrer persévérant tout au long de la formation. Les enseignants sont très compétents, accessibles et rassurants. Le résultat est bluffant.En tant qu’alumni du Wagon et désormais développeur web en freelance j’ai la chance d’avoir accès à une communauté fleurie et grandissante, qui me permet d’appréhender l’après Wagon avec sérénité. Le bilan de cette reconversion grâce à ce bootcamp est plus que positif. Je recommande les yeux fermés.

Signing up for the Le Wagon coding bootcamp in Lisbon was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is without a doubt a very intensive course and the learning curve is steep, but the staff is incredibly supportive and always there to help. You get to work on great projects and, by the end of the course, you'll not only be able to create web applications in just a few days, but you'll also learn the entire technical workflow of how to work in a team with other developers in the same way as you would if you were employed as a professional developer. I feel that the applications I've worked on during the bootcamp and the technical skills developed were definitely what helped me get a position as a developer immediately after the course and I only have Le Wagon to thank for that. You can also expect great support from the staff after the bootcamp (they provided me with a reference once I was offered a position as a developer) and access to a lot of learning material and perks.

3 months ago, I was somebody else.

I was looking for another way to live, a community closer to my values, I was looking for creativity, open-minds, taking life as a game… 

I used to work in the finance department of big companies, I also worked for a hospital, until I quit to be a freelancer.

I have always been attracted by tech and coding. I saw that as playing with my brain. Sudoku style. 

 

I was not believing in myself.

A while ago, I went to an event to talk with a recruiter in tech who discouraged me from going this way. At this time I had even gathered information about Le Wagon. 

But I put this idea in a corner of my head. 

 

Until the beginning of the new chapter of my life.

A summer night on the balcony/terrace with friends, I talked with a web developer friend, a wonderful woman who changed her career. This was last July. 

A few days after, I had an interview with Marie-Gabrielle at Le Wagon, and I subscribed in the same week.

I remember my answers to the question: “why Le Wagon?” - “because I am looking for being surrounded by interesting and benevolent people.” And this is how I felt was Le Wagon.

 

I was dreaming awake.

Indeed surrounded by amazing people coming from everywhere (not only geographically!): teachers, staff, and students! Learning all day every day. In a sunny and very cool environment at La Gare. My brain has never been so awake! 

Never any judgment, we were free to find our pace, and ask for the support that we needed.

Plus, yoga class with Claudette, the best yoga teacher in town I know.

I used to say that if every school was like that, we would all get tons of diplomas.

 

This is a Marathon, not a sprint!

I pushed my limits a bit too far the second weekend by not sleeping that much, I have learned my lesson, and the next weeks I acted like a coder monk! I was doing yoga in the morning, going to the class walking, drinking ginger-lemon infusions, learning, coding, coding, coding, going back home walking, doing some meditation, having dinner, doing my flash-cards, going to bed, and falling asleep after 2 minutes I started my audio-book… Until the free beers & socializing friday nights. :) 

 

The intense 9 weeks gave me the opportunity to create a better version of myself.

Especially during the group work for the 3 last weeks. I think doing so much in a little amount of time within a brand new team, gave me the occasion to grow, watch myself under new conditions, and be surprised by the “new me” I met.

 

I am so grateful for Le Wagon and the wonderful people I have worked with on the projects.

And today, I am so happy to be part of this community, in addition to have made friends for life.

The best decision I made in my life. They told me: “start coding and your life will change” and it was right like that.

I never thought could be programing in 9 weeks, even when I never had any computer skills! 
Take time to do the prep-work the most conscious you can; much better will be your  performance during the bootcamp.

Being a product-driven bootcamp make's Le Wagon, not only a coding school, even more a life-changing experience where you will gain skills to be a dev, PM or entrepreneur.

And one more thing, DO FLASHCARDS!

I have been curious about digital technology for years, but being a project manager in a full-time role, I didn’t know how and where to start learning next to my job. As I decided to change my career in the beginning of 2019, I intentionally planned to take a learning sabbatical for myself and finally learn to code before taking on a new job. With little research online, I found Le wagon and wanted to check it out first hand. I went to Barcelona to attend the demo day of the previous batch, where I talked to teachers and previous students and experienced their final products myself. That experience convinced me that it was the right decision to apply for the full-stack bootcamp at Le wagon.

The bootcamp was an intense experience, with at least ten hours of coding each day, but after every day in the camp, I felt smarter than the previous day. After weeks of lessons and buddy coding we moved into team projects, building an AirBnB clone for renting pets and further to build our own project within the final two weeks, a friend finding app called BuddyUp. After just 9 weeks, I had the pleasure to present our web application on the demo day, the event I had just attended a few months before.

Attending Le Wagon in Barcelona has not only given me the chance to learn and work together with talented and motivated individuals from all over the world, it has also given me access to and valuable skills in technology that I draw on in my new job, a business role in a tech company, as well. Unlike some of my classmates from the bootcamp, I didn’t become a developer, but I learned how to think like a developer and that helps me in my job every day.

After 5 years working in the Food & Beverage industry in marketing and sales, I felt the need to develop technical skills in order to gain more freedom and efficiency in my day job. During my career, creating weekly reports on Excel and Powerpoint was part of my duty. I am a person who doesn’t like to do the same task over and over. So, I learned the basics of VBA programming and find a way to automate the creation of these reports and be able to spend more time analyzing and providing useful recommendations. Excel became my best friend when it comes to improving my efficiency at work allowing me to focus more on added-value tasks. But I felt limited in the creation of tools to go even further.

As a marketing manager, I had to work with digital agencies to improve our online presence, starting with redesigning and improving the performance of websites. I felt truly frustrated not being able to make adjustments myself. I learned how to use WordPress in order to make tiny changes. But again, I was limited and wanted to deeply understand how a website works, how everything fits together. Back then, learning how to code seems necessary to me. I tried to self-learn coding with free online resources and by attending coding events. It was a good starting point, but I felt quickly discouraged by the lack of guidance and the lack of purpose.

The full-stack developer program of Le Wagon seems to be exactly what I needed: a team of professionals with a tailored learning process to guide you and the challenging objective of creating a real product from scratch in only 2 weeks. It appeared to be very promising!

My experience at Le Wagon clearly exceeds my expectations! I wanted to learn basic programming languages and bring technical skills to my background. I came out of this experience with technical abilities, personal growth and unique opportunities. This is such an empowering investment!

Le Wagon provides you with a clear process: at first, I felt lost and overwhelmed but quickly, I was able to apply the key concepts in practical exercises which gave me a clear vision of what concretely I will be able to create by myself. Starting with Ruby, you learn the key-concept of a coding language which gives you better ease of learning other coding languages after it. Then you learn how to manage the database using SQL, how to design a beautiful interface using HTML and CSS, how to add interactivity using Javascript to improve the web page manipulation, the interaction with the user and the webserver. Last but not least, you learn Ruby on Rails providing you the structure for all the code you write.

Le Wagon gives you a product vision: I not only learned how to code, I also learned how to create a product from scratch. Starting with an idea, defining the core functionalities according to different user stories, sketching out the wireframe with basic UX/UX concepts, defining the database architecture, designing the mock-up using Figma and last but not least, coding the different features using back and front-end languages. Oh! I forgot, and you learn how to pitch your product in front of a large audience. Of course, you are not doing all these steps alone, you work in a team of 3-4 persons and develop soft skills in order to deliver a quality Minimum Valuable Product on time! During the 2 weeks project, I developed both technical and soft skills that are required when you work as a developer or a product owner.

Le Wagon team is always here to give you the support you need: each day, teachers, TAs and all the team is present and dedicated to help you grow. Most of the teachers and TAs did Le Wagon bootcamp before, so they know exactly what difficulties you face every day and how to help you make the most out of the learning journey. The fact that they already went through the bootcamp also reassures you that IT IS POSSIBLE and YOU CAN DO IT!! The rest of Le Wagon team is also really supportive: whatever your needs are, you can always count on the staff to help you find a solution! Le Wagon team isn't there to put pressure on you, but rather to support you and sometimes to cheer you up when you need it. Personally, I was a bit lost and needed help to better understand the type of role I could apply for after the bootcamp. The community manager reassured me and shared with me the resources I needed to have a better vision of what to expect in my future career (Contacts, forums, events, organizations, companies…).

Le Wagon gives you the opportunity to grow your network. Le Wagon not only teaches you how to code but also helps you to get a foothold in the tech industry! They organize many events (Le Wagon Talks, Lunch & Learn, Meet-ups etc.) where you can meet and learn from experienced tech professionals. They also are really well connected with the startup ecosystem which gives you the opportunity to connect with innovative companies and be inspired by great entrepreneur stories. Le Wagon is part of a huge tech/startup community, so they can individually, help you connect with the right person depending on your needs. When I started Le Wagon, I was new in Montreal and didn’t have any network. Thanks to Le Wagon, I developed my network and even find my partners to start a business with!

At le Wagon, you will have a lot of FUN! I didn’t expect to have that much fun. The great community of open-minded people with a diverse background and the positive and caring culture of Le Wagon is just the perfect combination to be yourself and enjoy every moment of this intensive experience! It reminds me of the holiday camp: you don’t know what to expect and at first, you stay “vigilant”, then you get to know people and realize it is a safe place to be yourself, learn new things and surpass yourself while having fun; you don’t sleep that much because you want to appreciate every single minute and make the most out of this experience until it is the end and you already feel the nostalgia and you want to do it all over again! The difference with summer camp is that you will never lose connection with Le Wagon community because you will always be a part of it!

The future is so much brighter now!

Thank you!

I did le wagon in order to learn how to build an MVP of a business idea that I was working on for two years. 

My expectations were quite high, and I trusted the bootcamp to deliver thanks to an experienced developper that strongly recommended it. Let me tell you that I was not the kind of person to even have a look at what a program was, it all looked very mystical, and I did not want to deal with it! But experience forced me to demystify it, and even code myself 😱.

I couldn't find any curriculum online that was adapted to my way of learning. To be honest, the challenge seemed incommensurable at the time. Am I really going to be able to build a website from scratch after 9 weeks (I mean it's nothing) ? 🤔 

Well, it was not easy! There is a say which states that 'You learn best once you'r out of your comfort zone', I was out of it every single day! (reading it is different from experiencing it...)

Not comfortable and, most probably, the best decision I have ever made! I have built my MVP 🚀. I even enjoy coding now 🤓. 
It is a life changing experience, indeed. And in so many ways! I learned how to build a first version of the Project, and most importantly I met incredible people! They keep on teaching me every single day 😎. 

That's what le wagon is, a strong technical learning experience that embodies a powerful sense of an international Community ready to help, anytime.

Thank You !
