TL, DR:
It changed my life. Removed the fear of not being technical— great friends and memories I will never forget.
I spent an entire year learning to code. I tried everything:
- Codecademy
- learn Python the hard way
- Coursera
- Code School
But I still sucked. I couldn’t even write a simple program. Was I stupid? Maybe.
But I decided to try a new approach and registered to Le Wagon after hearing great feedback. After 9 weeks, I was able to build Impact—a tool for retrieving and analyzing Twitter data. I even wrote one of the program’s main algorithms. Maybe not that stupid after all.
Le Wagon isn’t a course--it’s a life experiment.
BE WITH LIKE MINDED PEOPLEWhy is learning to code so hard? Because it’s lonely. Oh man, try to read documentation written by coders, for coders, when you’ve never been on those websites. It’s a pain. Nobody wants to help you—« READ THE FUCKING MANUAL », they say—and it quickly gets discouraging. I don’t want more homework again.
But that doesn’t happen at Le Wagon—you’re not alone. You make friends. Each day, you are paired with someone from your batch—your buddy for the day. You don’t have any excuses for not collaborating and you’ll end up creating relationships with everyone in your class. You learn how to pair-program, how to help (and ask for help), and create long-lasting relationships. Many end up working together—some even start companies.
So no more loneliness, but a great environment to learn, meet and grow.
LEARN USEFUL STUFF BY DOING A LOTThe main problem with learning anything is putting in the required amount of intensity. I could have spent years learning code in a half-assed way, like I was doing. I would still not know how to code.
Le Wagon makes you DO stuff. To my great pleasure, lessons laster only one hour—the perfect time to give the essentials and keep everyone interested—and gave place to 8 hours of intense coding. Exercices, product-building, real-life challenges. They’re here to make you BUILD stuff.
Traditional education leaves you in the world without any skills. Le Wagon teaches you practical and professional-level skills in 9 weeks.
I couldn’t design a simple web page when I started. After 9 weeks, I could build AirBnB.
That’s effectiveness.
CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY KNOWING MORE ABOUT YOURSELFWe spend so much time speculating, fantasizing on our lives. Maybe I should have been a lawyer, I should have traveled more, I should have become a developer.
But there’s no way to know if you like something but trying it with a deadline and a lot of intensity. Le Wagon makes you grow as a person by increasing your self-awareness: it helps you know yourself better.
Do you like working in teams? You will know.
Do you like building tech products? You will know.
Do you want to be a software engineer, an entrepreneur, a product manager? You will know.
I wanted to code because I was scared I couldn’t be an entrepreneur otherwise. I didn’t know if I had it in me. I didn’t know if it was useful. I was fantasizing, again.
Then I spent 9 weeks coding all day. That’s 400 hours.
Now I know. If everything goes to flames, if my business fails and my girlfriend leaves me, if I’m expelled from my place and have zero friends left, I won’t be scared.
I found something I love doing. That’s worth everything.
Thank you Le Wagon.
