Boot.devReviews of boot.dev

Outstanding experience. I've learned enough using boot.dev to impress my boss who's been a software architect for several decades and contribute meaningfully to several software implementations. Forget YouTube and udemy and anywhere else, if you want to learn to be a developer (not just syntax and code regurgitation) boot.dev is all you need.

I think this site fills a huge gap that was in courses over the internet: backend. There were already some sites but they seldom had a focus on backend and this one focuses on it heavily which is great. I really like the way exercises are done and felt like i was actually understanding and learning things, not just at a shallow level as it had happened to me before with other courses (both free and paid). In general, the content is up to date and shows what you need for it, and the price is great at least where I’m from (there’s affordability according to the country). I’m very happy with my subscription

Good place to learn programming

I think its a great course. Has helped me get over the fear of learning to code and made me go from knowing the basics of loops and variables to having tools I've made in production for a local business. It works

My 2025 new years resolution was to learn how to code. I had attempted in the past but wasn't successful. I really connected with this platform and the skills I learned allowed me to switch careers last September. I love this platform and I am so happy I found it

Boot.dev is a very comprehensive gamified tutorial perfect for self taught and professionals who just want to take a peek at Golang and for refresher lessons. Some lessons aren't perfect but they shouldn't be too "hand holdy" either. If someone's going to learn a backend Golang course, I would recommend them boot dot dev

A general critique is it's difficulty, and it's fair to say so when compard to mindlessly watching video tutorials, which is the easiest kind of "course" there is. Boot.dev is purposefully hard because it tries to teach, not just throw information at you in hopes of you learning something. Actual learning is like this in basically every field there is, so it's no surprise it can come off as "unfair", but I do think people should try and give it a second chance if they left because they thought it was hard and stressful. Tl;dr: I'd recommend this platform for learning to anyone.

300+ hours on boot dev and still looking forward to every new course. It is the perfect balance of difficult and repeating to keep u in a flow state. U are always challenged. Also the Training Grounds is very good for repeating past knowledge.
