I completed Boot.dev while in prison. I was determined to make a positive change in my life and pursue my long-standing interest in programming. I'm now the IT specialist at the facility, and I just secured my first coding job, which I’m able to start even before my release!

I had always wanted to work abroad. Thanks to Boot.dev's resources and community, I just secured a remote job in the US. The experience gained through the courses even got me into using Go professionally!

I joined Boot.dev while already working as a SWE, but I was feeling burnt out and looking for ways to improve and make coding fun again. I've since regained my confidence and I was able to move to a new team where I'm doing much better professionally!

I earned my CS degree several years ago, but after graduating was unable to land a coding job. I started Boot.dev and even before completing the full learning path I'm ecstatic to report I've started my first full-time software engineering role!

The wealth of knowledge from the hungry programmers in the Boot.dev Discord helped me land my first software developer job just a month after joining!

As the Head of Data Science at a consulting company, I constantly seek opportunities to broaden my skill set. After completing nearly the entire curriculum, I can say that Boot.dev is the ideal choice for anyone looking to learn back-end development for the real world.

I wanted to learn to code, but boot camp and university weren't an option because of work and family. I came across Boot.dev, and the simple path to a new career was huge for me. I now have a job-offer in hand!

As a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer, Boot.dev has been critical in growing my understanding of programming fundamentals. I've gained the computer science and coding skills I need to excel at my job and create internal software for the organization.

I was working as a front-end developer before starting Boot.dev, but I wanted to move to a full-stack role. The courses have been amazing and what I've learned has been pivotal for tackling both ends of the stack at my current job.

Boot.dev teaches programming better than any other site I've tried. It has an addictive gamified system with experience points, levels and achievements. Boot.dev is exactly what it says it is, a direct path to a career as a backend developer.

I've been working as a postdoc, and ever since getting my feet wet with code I have been interested in transitioning into tech. I recently completed the back-end path on Boot.dev and just landed my first professional development job!

Boot.dev is one of the few e-learning sites that I consistently recommend. The team emphasizes all the right things: building real projects, contributing to open source, interactive vs passive learning, and going deep into the subject matter.

I was studying hard for 4 months on Boot.dev when I landed a tech job at a prestigious company! It happened while I was hanging out in the community Discord and was chatting with another student from my country. He mentioned I could send his manager an email and that led to an offer!

I'm a senior engineer learning Go, and the pace of Boot.dev courses has been perfect for me. The members of the Discord are quick to help out with detailed answers and explanations.

While I understand fundamentals are important, I wanted to dip my feet into some of the more modern technologies that companies and organizations use right now in production everyday. I found that Boot.dev just worked for how I wanted to learn and practice.

This platform is more than just a tutorial or even a set of tutorials. It provides a cohesive instructional track to learn coding practices and related skills, rather than single-application tasks.

This is the backend development course I wish I had found sooner. It's hands down the best dedicated backend specific course out there, with a supportive community that's always there to help you along your journey.
