Julien ChantereauCoding Bootcamp • ParisNov 24, 2015Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceMore than code, learn to love it
Of course, a tone of code is always difficult to digest at first, but more than understanding it, Le wagon teaches you to love what you're doing, which is for me absolutely crucial if you want to improve after the bootcamp.

The Ruby on Rails bootcamp you need
Having absolutely no technical background (I formerly worked as a content editor), I was amazed by the level I reached in such a short period of time. Of course, this is an intensive program : the pace is fast, the schedule tight, you have to be hardworking from day one to the very last days. But courses are very well structured and thought out, teachers are helpful and dedicated to their students, and you can count on your wonderful buddies since you are strongly encouraged to w...

But courses are very well structured and thought out, teachers are helpful and dedicated to their students, and you can count on your wonderful buddies since you are strongly encouraged to work as a team. Le Wagon is not only a unique learning experience it is also a great rewarding human experience.
Just have a look at the project we developed in ten days : it is a data-visualization tool to analyze Twitter accounts (we chose to focus on politicians) http://the-impact.herokuapp.com/
Thanks to Le Wagon, I am now able to build my own web app and currently work as a freelancer :)

Amazing teachers and staff, fantastic place, awesome buddies, great code challenges, that’s what you’ll get there.
Every entrepreneur should have the chance to go to Le Wagon to learn how to make their ideas a reality...

Amazing. Exponential Learning Curve. Awesome people.
I've just finished my 9 weeks bootcamp @ Le Wagon Paris, and I already talked 4 friends into it (and more are coming). It is THAT good folks.

What can I say to give you a fitting overview of my experience?
The staff is awesome.
The founders seem to posess a kind of secret, that allowed them to build the most rewarding learning experience of my life.
It's not really a secret actually: they've refined their curriculum over 15 batches of students and they built a tremendous learning platform to support it.The new HQ in Paris is awesome.
A very spacious villa in the 11th arrondissement with all the equipment you need to literaly live here for 9 weeks. (OK OK you got me, there are no beds, but I think it's totally negotiable)
Your batch buddies are awesome.
The staff carefully select the students in their next batch, to create the best learning atmosphere you could experience. People around you are smart, determined to fulfill their objectives, and nonetheless fun to hang with.
The only obstacle you'll face when learning @ Le Wagon is yourself.
So buckle up, brace yourself, and go for it, coz' it's definitively worth your time and your money.I'll leave you now with something you'll understand in your first day @ Le Wagon:

Best bootcamp on earth to learn ruby in a short period of time
In only 9 weeks, I had the chance to become a full-stack developer in ruby thanks to Le Wagon !
- Charles PernetRuby on Rail developer @ Capsens.eu • Graduate • ParisNov 09, 2015Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
This 9 weeks bootcamp is probably the best deal I ever done.
Many people will tell you that you can learn everything about coding on your own online for free. That's right but Le wagon provides you with very well structured courses, some teachers are here all day long to help you understanding various concepts needed to start.
I think that if you never had any contact with code, starting with other highly motivated people with courses and exercices to follow is one of the best Kickstarter you can ever imagine.

There is no technical background required, only a deep motivation.
At the end of these 2 months, you will not only be able to write your first web application using Ruby on Rails, but you will understand what are the differences between all the "computer langages" that you heard about. Studying at le Wagon will not make you a full stack developper in 2 months but it will allow you to understand the big picture about coding, you will be able to face one by one the challenges that are waiting for you if you start working on your own web application, and if you want to go further you'll be able to do it on your own.
The icing on cake about Le Wagon is the network and community revolving around, if you are looking for a job or if you feel stuck with a new feature that you want to add to your project, you will always find someone to chat with.

High quality coding bootcamp and empowering experience
You take 3 inspiring executives, you add a team of passionnate and expert teachers, you mix this with a bold and well-oiled learning track and you put everything in a great place where you can attend startup talks and meetups at least once a week... you get an amazing bootcamp!
But this is only 60% of your 9 weeks at Le Wagon. The remaining 40% is an empowering experience with 20 more motivated and open-minded buddies, where you're going to learn, work and...

Le Wagon is a dealbreaker and a game changer bootcamp. I have learnt front and back end technologies and I am now able to tackle whatever web-dev project with the appropriate mindset. Switching from having ideas to being able to quickly test your ideas is priceless.
I do recommend Le Wagon.

Great fullstack bootcamp !
Le Wagon is a great bootcamp to learn front and backend development. At the end of the course, I was able to build a complex product on my own.
It's a great asset to start a startup, wherever you come from. Teachers are great, students become friends... and even co-founders !
I really enjoyed my time in Le Wagon and I strongly recommend it.

People from various backgrounds, with different carreer ambitions, are working 10 hours a day during 9 weeks on a very intensive track to learn how to program high level web apps from scratch.
Personally it has been a real game changer, giving me the opportunity to get a great position in the Silicon Valley in a fast growing start-up. After only a couple of months I could develop rails app from scratch, and even after a few days I knew way more about programing than what I got from months of self-teaching.
More generally it is a great experience where you will learn more than programming; you will meet cool motivated people, learn a whole new way to think and add significant skills to your curriculum. Besides the teaching is great and it emphasizes on creativity and collaboration between students.
You do not need to know anything about programming when you start, so go for it!
