How to Keep Learning After a Coding Bootcamp
2/7/2020
Learning to code at an intensive bootcamp takes dedication and focus. And even though you’ll reach that finish line (we promise you will!), it’s important to remember that the learning doesn’t end at graduation! Whether you’re acclimating to a new technology stack on the job, or you’ve decided to add to your skillset through online resources, there’s always room to grow. A great developer's job is never done, and the learning will continue. So how do you stay on top of the ever-evolving tech scene? We’ve collected advice from bootcamp alumni and employers in our 8 steps to keep learning after a Coding Bootcamp.

How do you get a job after coding bootcamp if you have no relevant, real-world work experience? Only 1.4% of bootcampers have worked as developers in the past, but most career-changers have little – if any– client experience when they start looking for a developer job. Some bootcamps help students overcome this hurdle by offering opportunities to work for the bootcamp itself, or with real clients through projects, internships, and apprenticeships. These opportunities can give students substantial experience to add to their portfolios and resumes, and kickstart the job hunt.

After successfully establishing Sabio’s second campus in Orange County, Aaron Gibson is moving to Seattle to launch the coding bootcamp in a third city. Meetup events have already started at Sabio’s Seattle campus, and the first cohort is due to start in late May 2017. We asked Aaron why the Sabio team chose to expand to Seattle, why Sabio will stand out amongst the other coding bootcamps in Seattle, and whether grads are likely to get hired at local giants Microsoft and Amazon.

Dan Tutolo was a Chinese linguist in the U.S. Army, then worked as an Oracle Administrator and learned SQL before deciding to become a web developer. As a Military Veteran, he chose to enroll at Sabio in Los Angeles, partly because the school accepts the GI Bill, and because he would learn by working on a real-world project. Dan tells us about the process to apply for GI Bill funding, and how current Sabio students are now building Dan’s own website as their real world project!

1/4/2017
In our Cracking the Bootcamp Application series, we’re diving into the admissions process at coding bootcamps around the world. Los Angeles bootcamp Sabio has a unique two-track admissions process where candidates can either take an advanced level assessment straight away, or participate in a paid, four-week pre-work course. We sat down with Sabio founder Gregorio Rojas to find out just what goes into that assessment, how the pre-work is different from other bootcamp prep programs, and why attitude and personality really matter in the Sabio vetting process.

12/12/2016
If you want to get tons of coding experience in 24 hours (or you just want your resume to stand out), then you should already be thinking about hackathons! These are 24-48 hour events where programmers meet to create new products that usually answer a problem. And coding bootcamp graduates know a thing or two about participating in (and winning) hackathons. So we asked two bootcamp grads from California bootcamp Sabio to share their tips on crushing their first hackathons and how they even helped the alums land interesting jobs. Gema and Ken share their experiences, give us advice on preparing for a successful hackathon, and explain the importance of hackathons for growth as a developer.

2/7/2020
Should I do a coding bootcamp? This is a question we hear all the time, and for good reason. As more coding bootcamps launch (not to mention the rising media coverage), you’re probably wondering, “should I jump on the bandwagon and learn to code?” A recent TechCrunch article implored you not to learn to code unless you’re ready to put in the work to be great, whereas President Obama wants every student to learn computer science in high school. So what types of people are opting for coding bootcamps? And should you be one of them?
