Hack reactor grad 2016
Our Story
Coding Bootcamp Guides was founded by a Hack Reactor grad with the goal to help provide guidance and transparency to students looking to become software engineers. Michael enjoyed tutoring and mentoring aspiring software engineers and found that the concepts he was teaching and the questions he was answering could and should be shared with everyone for free.
Our Mission
The college education system is outdated and often financially out of reach for many aspiring students. Coding bootcamps are modern-day vocational schools, teaching you what you need to become a software engineer at a reasonable price. Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge and transparency they need to succeed in their coding bootcamp journeys.
