Boot.dev Opiniões 37

I had tried learning C 2 times before, but i gave up because no other website could explain memory management simply enough.

but with boot.dev I now have a very good understanding of memory management in C. this site managed to explain memory management very simply and i'm happy with the results i've gotten

and the best part is that the lessons on boot.dev are completely free.

Great for learning to program or for brushing up your programming skills.
It might be a bit boring for experienced developers wanting to learn new technologies like Python or Go, because the lessons and exercises are quite guided.

I found the content to be engaging and rather straight forward. Any gotchas that were encountered were due to misreading the expected outcome. Very easy to do in any real world scenario.

While I do have a CS degree, it has been ages since I've written any meaningful code aside from SQL. The courses provided allowed me to refresh my skills and learn languages that were either not available during my course of study or not popular at the time. The skills gained allowed me to be a more productive member of my project team by implementing an automation testing suite for our product.

To me the cost felt reasonable for the content provided. To compare I am also a Certified Scrum Master. That course was approximately $500 at the time and was only 16 hours worth of content + exam fee. For less than that, Boot.dev has provided me north of 300 hours of content and I feel like I have a more useful and meaningful skillset.

The courses are amazing! I came in knowing Python, but yet I still learned many new Python tips and tricks. Add Go to that and the plethora of other tools you get a really well rounded education. Whether you want to be w backend developer or not this course is great for anyone that wants to be introduced to coding or either refresh their skills or enhance them.

I got a black fri deal making the price I paid worthwhile.
The gamified style and module content generally worked to keep me engaged.
There are frustrating aspects, especially when there is something you're not grasping, a lesson takes 6 hours and you only get a relatively small amount of "XP" for your effort or miss a day / "deadline". Some courses feel like a boss/lead is walking through/training instructing you exactly how to design and build something, then they get pulled away halfway and leave you to guesstimate exactly how they want it built with little direction... It's ok if you look at it as what a real job can be like, but can be a quite frustrating.
The community/discord is helpful and encouraging.
With so many features, some of the best aspects (spellbook) can be overlooked where Boots (AI) may be the more difficult way to find the answer you're after.

Since my paid year expired, I haven't put anywhere near the amount of hours into study than I did while I had it. I'm yet to try the free version for the few things I'd like to go back to / didn't get to.

If you're more likely to play a game than study, but want to learn, improve, or practice coding / "back end" technologies, this could be for you.

Boot.dev is an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn back-end development. It's got really well thought-out lessons and lots of guided projects to provide practical experience. If you're looking to refresh your knowledge, or just learn new things, I can't recommend it enough. One of the best features is the training exercises, which are generated with the help of the platform's AI, to reduce repetition and provide a new stimulus every time. Also the Discord community is really great and very helpful.

ABSOLUTELY WORTH FOR THE PRICE! I think a lot of people don't realise this.

This is very well presented and constructed collection of courses that are connected to each other.

It will teach you the basics and then some. It will give you a very strong foundation and from there its up to you. Plenty of guided projects that once you feel ready you can continue working on your own! The possibilities are limitless.

Its up to user to have a clear understanding what they want to do and again considering the price even if you are not sure what you want to do you can give it a try. Spend few months studying, finish all courses and even then if you realise this is not for you no biggie, the price is so low you can afford to test it this way!

I’ve tried multiple platforms over the years. The pattern is always the same: watch videos, follow along, get a certificate, and then realize you can’t actually build anything on your own. The gap between tutorial code and production code is massive. Boot.dev actually got me building real projects.

Three things set Boot.dev apart from other platforms:
1. Learn by Doing - Every course includes hands-on projects. The CLI projects were my favorites. Building a Pokedex CLI and a Blog Aggregator forced me to understand how command-line tools actually work under the hood.

2. Great Community - The Discord server is genuinely useful. When I got stuck on a project, I could search for others who had the same problem. The community is active and helpful.

3. Gamification - Boot.dev treats the learning experience like an RPG. You earn XP for completing lessons, maintain streaks for daily practice. The gamification creates genuine motivation to keep learning. I found myself coming back daily just to maintain my streak, and that consistency compounded into real skill development.

The ease and method of learning really kept me in and interested. Before I knew it I was doing things that seemed arcane to me before. This has been a huge help as I work to pivot my career and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone interested in learing to code.

This platform is a great launchpad if you want to learn the basics of back and development, solidify what you already know, or just expand your skills.

I definitely recommend it. The cost is an investment if you really put the time and effort and I honestly can’t believe how much content there is available for what they’re charging…and they are still producing more!

The courses are actually Gamified and taught by people in the industry. The projects are fun and interesting. Plus, the Discord community is actually active and you can network really easily from there. Definitely worth the investment.

The courses are great, and they are being constantly improved. This is probably one of, if not the best place, to start learning to code.
Other than that i fall in love with the discord community, its a real blessing and i appreciate the community the boot dev team was able to create.

I completed the Back-End Path (Python + Golang), after starting as an experienced Python developer. This was a worthwhile experience and would recommend it to anyone trying to follow a curriculum.

First of all, the interactive format can lead to building consistent learning habits. We've all probably purchased a course or bookmarked a tutorial, but there was little incentive to keep you on track. The gamification made familiar concepts worth rehashing and made new challenges worth surpassing. There are guardrails in the form of documentation and an LLM assistant, and the latter doesn't cough up the answers, but instead guides the learner through the concepts so that they can arrive at the solution themselves.

On top of this, the creators and maintainers have fostered a supportive community, offering support and guidance beyond the content itself.

I didn't study computer science at school. The platform is quite simple to use and the gamification aspect of it keeps you hooked. Lane is kinda a d*ck though. benevolent dictator for life or whatever

Great courses, in depth and hands on.

Boot.Dev has taught me so much about programming and has put me on a path towards CS in a way I couldn't have done otherwise due to time constraints.

Bootdev is the best course ive taken, the lectures are well explained, there is so much content and the platform functions perfectly.

The platform is super well built and stable. Great user experience and great learning mechanics.

This platform does a well enough job teaching the concepts of back-end programming in various languages. But what sets it apart from others is how it encourages users to explore their own approach to solutions in the guided projects. You'll also finish the back-end track with a capstone project of your choosing, which is also a great way to bolster your portfolio.

I have been using Boot.dev for about a year now, since I got a free month as part of Humble Bundle Choice. I paid for a full year and even though I'm already working in software engineering it was a really fun experience, helping cover some things I wanted to learn (Golang, RAG, agentic AI).
Overall I find the content really interesting (with the whole fantasy theme) and I'm always looking forward to new courses.
