From the WWWCode Newsletter/ Bloc website:
- Bloc Course Directors Share Their Favorite 10 Pre-Bootcamp Tutorials. The page is still frustratingly hard to read, full of references to things I have not only not mastered, but am not even familiar with. :P
- Bloc's Programming Bootcamp Comparison - "Navigating the Coding Ecosystem: Compare Price, Length, and Workload of Learn-to-Code Courses." Includes a description of coding student types, by category:
- THE HOBBYIST
“I’m new to coding. I want to learn how to build my own app, on my own time.”
- holding an irregular schedule
- unsure if coding is the right fit for you
- learning to code just as a hobby
- THE PROFESSIONAL
“I work in a tech industry. I want to learn how to code like a professional.”
- have a full time job
- a busy life, with not too much free time (kids, family)
- or a familiarity with coding, but no experience
- THE JOB SEEKER
“I’m making a complete career change. I want to be a professional developer.”
- looking to make a complete career change
- ready to make learning to code your full-time job
- frustrated that past efforts learning to code failed
