UK - Front-end Development

I came to Boolean UK as a product manager to broaden my skillset and understand development better or become a developer myself. The material is great with html, css, node.js, rest api, react and git. We learned a lot from teachers as well as having pair programming, group work sessions and individual assignments. Everything is done live, in real time, there is no pre-recorded video content, which was a huge plus for me. You have to be intrinsically motivated to do the course, as an adult it's up to us to put the effort in and how much we take away from it. There is a group of students with you who go through the same experience which is really nice. After the course there is a lot of mentoring and coaching around finding a job (LinkedIn, portfolio, GitHub, CVs, cover letters, interview prep, processes), which is great, and as with the dev part, it's up to us how much we make use of them. Make sure you are aware of the macroeconomic situation before you jump in --- the current market for junior software devs is a somewhat difficult, but this will hopefully change in a few months.
