"I enjoyed Miriam's workshops. They were well-prepared and she made hard topics easy to follow. As a coach, during assignments, she is very patient, helpful and good at explaining concepts." - 03-05-2016 16:03

"Miriam was my favourite teacher of the course. Her lessons were very enjoyable. Her way of teaching made the material quickly understandable and a lot of fun. She was very good at motivating us to experiment and play with new learned concepts. During the assignments, she took the time to help each individual student, which was something we all appreciated a lot. Having an interest in becoming a teacher myself, I found Miriam very inspiring and a great example." - 01-04-2016 09:53

"Wat heb ik ongelooflijk veel geleerd, het is alsof je in een week Chinees leert spreken. En ook al hoef ik in mijn dagelijkse werk niet te programmeren, ik ben blij dat ik nu ongeveer begrijp hoe het werkt en de terminologie herken.
Het was gaaf om op deze manier kennis te maken met programmeren. Een bootcamp zorgt ervoor dat je een volle week helemaal in de materie duikt en daardoor extra veel leert. De docenten zijn erg bevlogen, ervaren en niet in de laatste plaats erg geduldig. En vooral dat laatste kwam mij goed van pas... ;-)" - 22-11-2015 14:30

"It touches the basics of all the technologies involved in creating a Ruby on Rails site.

From frontend (HTML and CSS) via the terminal and Object-Orientated-Programming to the backend (Ruby programming language, the Ruby on Rails framework and Github for version control managing).

On the last day, there is fun Hackathon, where you get to show off your hacking skills and have to develop a working Rails site with a small team.

This Bootcamp is a great kickstart for your coding career. And you can even start building a network (or expand an existing one) with people who like to share their knowledge and experience.

Everything with very enthusiastic guidance from experts from their own field of knowledge.

I'd say It's the biggest bang for your buck and I'm looking forward in joining them again for the intermediate course." - 08-11-2015 21:22

"Ruby on Rails Development Bootcamp was een leuke en leerzame ervaring.
Ik kan het iedereen aanraden die professioneel veel met developers te maken heeft.
Het middag programma met de oefeningen kon wel wat meer inleiding en structuur gebruiken. " - 05-08-2015 12:28

"Great course, very interesting! Intelligent, friendly and helpful teachers. They show you all you have to know to start programming. Of course, it is only the basics, but covering all subjects helps you to make a great start! " - 27-07-2015 18:52

"Great course to get started with programming. Going from the web basics with html and css to Ruby and eventually Rails. The courses has a great variety in speakers and exercises that make sure you practice your coding skills. The first edition had some quirks, but none that can't be solved in the next edition." - 24-07-2015 13:21

"The Development Bootcamp is a great way to get started if you want to learn how to code and have no idea where to begin. They taught us the basics (and more) and showed us how we can continue to teach ourselves how to code. To Wouter and all the other teachers/volunteers, thanx!" - 22-07-2015 10:28

"Dev Bootcamp was great! I learned so much and gained a much better insight into what coding/programming actually is (solving problems by breaking them up into small steps). The trainers were very knowledgeable and patient, and the fellow bootcampers were a lovely bunch as well. Would definitely do it all over again." - 22-07-2015 07:40

"I think Development Bootcamp is the best place to start if you want to learn to code. Personally, I now understand a lot more of what my dev-colleagues are doing all day. Never learned so much in such a short period of time and this course even changed my outlook on life and what you can accomplish. The teachers and coaches were very inspiring and not only helped us with the assignments step-by-step, they also inspired me that I could actually do what a developer does (on a beginner level of course). I mistakenly always thought you needed to be good at math for that, but I was actually making my own projects with Ruby on Rails! And I loved that it is so creative and technical at the same time.

It was amazing to see how most people of the group started out as real beginners, but in the end made impressive projects. The last day we were pushing and pulling to/from Github as if it were nothing.

It was a great week, with a very intensive but inspiring program, great organisation and a wonderful group of people. Looking forward to part II, I wanna code so much more now! And it is nice that the teachers are still available, whenever we have questions and that we are motivated to keep on learning, through online courses for example. " - 21-07-2015 09:14

"The Developer Bootcamp is fantastic! Everyone involved (Teachers, Organisers, Mentors) is very engaged and wants to help. The atmosphere stays focused but very comfortably casual, which means you get to know the people in your group. The size of the group (25-30 people) seems ideal as well, allowing enough 1-on-1 time if needed. You'll feel like you are in good hands here! " - 21-07-2015 07:21

"Development bootcamp this first week gave me a strong introduction to development, both at the frontend, ways to work together (github) Ruby itself and using the Rails framework. The many coaches helped really well to get into the way it works. The closing hackaton was proof on how much you learn in a week with some help. Thanks Wouter and his team!" - 21-07-2015 06:17

"Bottomline: I would ab-so-lu-te-ly recommend this training to anyone! You’ll come away with knowledge & tools, many resources, concrete tips to continue your development, a network and lots of inspiration.

The bootcamp provides an all-round introduction to coding. The daytime sessions focus on several aspects coding; the evening sessions on issues related to coding. For example, how to get into coding by learning it yourself – how amazing and cool is that?!

The trainers were great. (The fact that I only put down Wouter does not do the others justice.) All had their own styles and expertise. But all were equally passionate about coding and enthusiastic to ‘share that love’. All were very accessible and happy to help with whatever question we threw at them. Once or twice did I think I didn’t follow but in the end it all came together for me. As an alpha I much appreciated the use of real life examples, as there were tortilla and cats to explain looping and object oriented programming respectively.

Everything else was conducive to learning as well. The other participants were all enthusiastic and eager to learn. Those that did know more than me –I'm an absolute beginner- were also happy to help and share. The catering by @rooskookt was excellent and there was plently time to relax during lunch and dinner.

"Development Bootcamp has been an absolute learning experience! Coding is like solving a bunch of tiny puzzles and putting the pieces together :) I love it! The other students were all very motivated and passionate about it, which made the bootcamp part al lot of fun too.
Wouter is a very accesible and a highly professional dev trainer. His love for his profession is seen throughout the entire program. " - 20-07-2015 11:45

"This bootcamp was a really great experience.

I had already some knowledge in HTML and CSS, but it was still great to go over the basics. And then to move onto Ruby, Ruby on Rails and OOP.

Of course there is still so much that I have to learn. But it's given me the tools to continue by myself, and I feel that I have a general basic understanding of Ruby.

If you're looking to kickstart your coding learning adventure, I really recommend doing this bootcamp. You get given so many resources and you actually get to code your ideas! Plus the teachers and coaches are great and really helpful.
And the food was really yummy!

"Het DevelopmentBootcamp was een fantastische ervaring. Het programma gaat snel maar er is voldoende tijd om het onder de knie te krijgen. En heb je tijd over, dan is er altijd meer om je in te verdiepen. De docenten zijn top en ze helpen je naar jouw volgende stap, welke die ook is. Buiten pure kennis zijn er ook inspirerende lezingen over Lean(Start)Up en een persoonlijk verhaal over hoe het is om je goede baan als architect op te geven om je op code te storten. Om vervolgens een half jaar later je eerste IT-baantje te hebben. Je krijgt ook meer dan voldoende concrete tips voor je verdere educatie-traject en via Slack blijft er de mogelijkheid tot 'nazorg' maar ook contact met je medestudenten. Bij twijfel doen!" - 20-07-2015 11:10
