Limitations of coding bootcamps

An intense solution for a quick carrier switch

Costly

programing teachers are very expensive due to high demand add to that all the traditional cost of a school, there is simply no way to make that cheap.

By leveraging community thinking, DEVAZUKA is able to focus on providing a good environement without the burden of paying teachers

Too short

3 month is not a long time to get a skill, they have to focus on superficious learning, only teaching one way to build things but avoiding real knowledge of computer science, in the end to succeed in the industry you still have to learn by yourself

DEVAZUKA doesn't kick you out after 3 month, as long as you find value in this environement you are welcome to take part of it

Rigid

You have to be available everytime at the school hours, this is simply not flexible enough for most people with a job.

This stiff timing also mean slow learners get left out, fast learners get bored, it's one size fit's some.

DEVAZUKA is open from 8h to 22h, your learning is self paced, take all the time you need, skip all the things that don't interest you.

Cheatable

Because they have to evaluate you, bootcamp students can often get trap in a mindset of trying to achieve what is evaluated over actual knowledge.

This punish creativity, out of the box thinking and push students to limit their over all knowledge to the scope of what will be evaluated.

DEVAZUKA avoid this by simply only giving way to self evaluate, the only person you can cheat or impress is yourself.

Limitations of online courses

Providing great content for cheap, they are the fastest growing way to learn to code

Lonely

Even the MIT with best in class teachers is reporting as low as 4% of the participants completing the courses.

Few of us are able to learn alone, without guidance and peers, it's easy to stay stuck on little things, in the long run those can easily convince us to give up.

We strongly believe that building a network of trustful and motivated people is as important as learning new skills, if not more.

Too many options

Learning to code online is a great example of the paradox of choice, we have a curration problem and it's a challenge to filter the good from the bad.

We always wonder if our time could be better spend on other courses and it often impede or limit our implication

DEVAZUKA experienced coders carefully curated list of books, videos and free courses and will recommend you a fiting option to stay on track

No follow up

So you are part of the 4% who finished a course, now what ? the business model of online course is not about helping you further, you may be stuck in a tutorial loop that never connect to something actionnable.

DEVAZUKA goal is to keep being a supportive environement even once you start working on projects, and to connect the community to help them build projects together

In short

No mater your path, you will have to keep learning by yourself, DEVAZUKA believe that can be done together.

Join us to build community of curious people that share the joy of discovering new things.
