Learn Rust at These 8 Rust Bootcamps

This review is long overdue, but I can honestly say Codesmith changed my life. It didn’t just teach me software engineering, it taught me how to learn on my own and how to push past challenges. I also met some amazing people who made the journey even better.

If you are on the fence about it, my only advice is to go for it. It is completely worth it. Just know what you are signing up for. Codesmith does not babysit you. They give you the tools and the structure, but it is up to you to put in the work. They push you to step up, and that is exactly why you grow so much. It is the perfect mix of being hard enough to inspire you but never so hard that you want to quit.

When it comes to the curriculum, I graduated in November 2023, so I am sure some topics have shifted a little, probably more toward things like AI. But the way the course is structured is what makes it so powerful. In the first half you are getting new lectures every single day. It feels overwhelming and you might think you are not learning everything. Everyone feels that way. What you are really doing is collecting all the pieces of the puzzle. Then, when you hit the project stage, everything clicks. That is when your learning grows exponentially. I loved that stage and learned so much. It did not even hit me until I got my first job how prepared I really was. I realized I had skills that people already in the field were missing, like using the terminal and git properly. Trust the process because it works.

The job search stage was the hardest part for me. By that point I was already a little burnt out. But the great thing is Codesmith keeps supporting you even after you graduate. They offer resume reviews, interview prep, and career coaching. I had my resume reviewed twice and did four mock interviews. After my first mock interview with Alexander, one of the career coaches, I left with so many tips that every phone screen I had after that turned into a real interview. The support is there, you just have to take advantage of it.

Another part that surprised me was the community. I did not think it would matter much, but it ended up being one of the most important things. Your peers are the ones who help you through the tough moments, especially during the job search. I am also grateful to Eric who helped me negotiate my offers and guided me in the right direction.

Looking back, I would do it all over again. Codesmith gave me everything I needed to succeed and the support did not stop once the program ended. If you are serious about becoming a software engineer, this is the program to choose.

I have enrolled in Metana's Full Stack Bootcamp course. I am still about to graduate but so far the experience has been great. My instructor Aaron Emanuel has been very supportive and helpful. The course material can be improved but this is something that Metana says they are working on. I still haven't started my job search yet but it seems promising given Metana's job placement rate.

I had an excellent experience taking RareSkills’ Advanced Solidity Bootcamp. The coursework was challenging and engaging and caused me to deepen my understanding of Solidity and the EVM. The assignments encourage us to research and perform hands-on testing and verification so that we’re learning by practice and not just theoretics.

I enjoyed the format that the course takes as well. We have a weekly video session to learn and be able to ask any questions that we have. In addition, we have weekly office hours for this purpose also. We can also schedule time with our course professor for my 1-1 time.

One of the greatest benefits of joining the bootcamp was gaining access to the RareSkills community. Many top Web3 and blockchain professionals from major companies are within the community and only a message away. It’s great to be able to network with people of this caliber and have opportunities to grow my career.

Although there is no job guarantee, I was able to find a few work opportunities by being a part of the community. RareSkills is an elite and well-respected brand within the blockchain space.

Overall, I’m glad that I decided to take the Advanced Solidity course and join RareSkills. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is thinking of taking a course.

With the help of the Macro Fellowship, I was able to transition from being a senior engineer at a large Web2 company to working at a blockchain defi startup.

I was already learning Solidity and Ethereum before the fellowship, but now I can write and audit secure smart contracts.

I really enjoyed learning a lot about security in web3 and learning in depth how Solidity contracts end up as EVM byte code. The fellowship also allowed me to meet great people in web3 / learning about web3. I really appreciated how most of the Solidity code I wrote was audited—provided me with great feedback.

I am truly delighted to join European Tech School, and be a part of its 6th Cohort. As a Banking and Finance specialist, I see that blockchain technology is currently the future investment tool which will be a part of several sectors especially the fintech sector.

Now it's 10 weeks after joining the Certified Blockchain Course, where I grasped a deeper understanding of the crypto space, and discovered how this Knowledge and technology is being applied into several sectors and industries in all aspects.

It has narrowed the gap between what is being there in the news and what is actually being implemented on ground. Additionally, it has been a great experience to meet new passionate people about blockchain technology and share my thoughts through a real life applied science.
