Myths About Coding Boot Camps
  • If youve decided to learn web development,
    youve most likely done some research to find the
    best method or program for you.
  • A quick web search will yield a plethora of
    resources on the subject, as well as websites for
    coding bootcamps.
  • This may have piqued your interest, and, like
    everything else, there are some myths about
    coding boot camps that wed like to dispel at
    least for our programs.

Myth 1 Coding boot camps are for people who
arent serious about a career in programming.
  • On the contrary, coding boot camps are for people
    who are certain about starting a career in web
    development and have taken the initiative to get
    started right away.
  • When you consider the shorter time it takes to
    complete a coding boot camp versus pursuing a
    4-year degree or more, it takes a special type of
    person to jumpstart their career by attending an
    intensive coding boot camp.

Myth 2 Since boot camps are shorter than a
traditional college education, I wont learn as
much.
  • A coding bootcamp participant will get out of it
    what they put into it, similar to a traditional
    college education.
  • Regardless of time constraints, if you commit to
    learning the material and putting it into
    practice, you will be able to apply your skills
    in real-world web development projects.

Myth 2 Since boot camps are shorter than a
traditional college education, I wont learn as
much.
  • The truth is that you must put in the effort to
    get the most out of the program.
  • Online Bootcamp Courses are shorter than a
    college education, but the intensive curriculum
    ensures that participants learn a variety of
    concepts and skills that they can apply to begin
    or advance their careers.

Myth 3 Im too old to attend a boot camp and
change my career.
  • Many coding boot camp students are seasoned
    professionals looking to change careers.
  • Many seasoned professionals who have already
    spent many years in the office have spent far too
    much time in a job that does not fulfil them, and
    they are now taking a risk toward a career that
    does.
  • Age has no bearing on your ability to succeed in
    a coding boot camp as long as you have
    determination, a willingness to learn, are
    open-minded, practical, and analytical, and have
    a strong desire to learn the industry.

Myth 4 I dont know anything about computers or
coding, theres no way I could learn computer
programming in only a few months.
  • A boot camp does not require prior experience to
    be successful. Dont let your fears or doubts
    keep you from achieving your goals. Many students
    enter coding boot camps with little knowledge of
    the field, so youre not alone. After all, thats
    what the class is supposed to teach you.
  • Youll do fine if you go into boot camp with a
    hardworking, can-do attitude.
  • Most boot camps are designed with all skill
    levels in mind, resulting in an open and
    supportive learning environment, so theres no
    reason to put off learning to code.

Myth 5 Most programmers I know are men. Maybe
the field isnt for me because Im a woman.
  • Women currently hold more than a quarter of the
    nearly 4 million computing jobs in the United
    States, and this number is growing.
  • There has never been a better or more pressing
    time for women to participate in todays digital
    revolution.
  • According to studies, women are often at the
    forefront of early adoption of new technology, so
    dont let the idea of a boys club derail your
    ambitions.
