00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,790
Either Welcome to the Web Developer boot camp I want to take a moment just early on in this course to

2
00:00:05,790 --> 00:00:09,180
talk about what makes this program so special.

3
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:12,620
Why is it the only course you'll ever need to learn web development.

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:14,470
And I feel really strongly about that.

5
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:18,920
This course is everything you need from start to finish regardless of your experience.

6
00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:20,460
There's something here for everyone.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,410
I'll take you from the very beginning up to complex and advanced topics.

8
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:31,080
So this is the only course online right now that's taught by a professional bootcamp instructor.

9
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:33,150
I teach people to program professionally.

10
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:34,200
It's what I do.

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,910
I take people from all skill levels all backgrounds and I help them change your lives and become web

12
00:00:38,910 --> 00:00:39,800
developers.

13
00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:42,740
And I've been doing that a few years now at two different programs.

14
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:48,300
But the reason that I bring this up is that I'm not someone who thought it would be fun to try teaching

15
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:49,700
on the side online.

16
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:53,060
This is something that I do everyday and I'm extremely passionate about.

17
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:58,120
And more importantly than my passion for it is the fact that I get results.

18
00:00:58,210 --> 00:01:05,400
So most recently 94 percent of all my students my most recent bootcamp program go on to get web developer

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,950
jobs after they graduate my course.

20
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:12,650
This isn't a program where we require you to have a computer science degree to even apply.

21
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:16,980
These are people from every background every situation you can think of people who are fresh out of

22
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:24,420
high school who are declining to go to college and instead taking my class nurses retirees single parents

23
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,980
going back to work who want to learn a new skill.

24
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:33,550
Bank tellers waitresses artists actors people from all over the world and all different levels of education

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:33,790
.

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,060
And these are not people who are experts in web development to begin with.

27
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:40,590
Most of my students are complete beginners.

28
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:44,230
They've read a blog post they've tried to teach themselves a little bit.

29
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:49,500
Maybe they try an online program like code cademy or something and they enjoy it but they don't go any

30
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:50,340
further.

31
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:55,590
And after finishing my course 94 percent of them go on to get full time developer jobs.

32
00:01:55,830 --> 00:02:01,590
So I feel very strongly that bootcamps are a great option for some people but unfortunately they're

33
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:02,670
not for everyone.

34
00:02:02,670 --> 00:02:03,930
For a few reasons.

35
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:07,440
One the most obvious is the fact that they cost a lot of money.

36
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,230
My most recent course cost $21000 to enroll and it's a lot of money and most people can't afford that

37
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:13,470
.

38
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:18,450
And on top of that most people can't afford the time to take three or six months off where you can't

39
00:02:18,450 --> 00:02:19,250
work.

40
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:23,080
You have to figure out rent and food and taking care of your family if you need to.

41
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,800
It's really hard to do that.

42
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:26,010
So in creating this course.

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,800
My goal was to make an online equivalent of these in person bootcamps.

44
00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:35,560
Not only is the course much more affordable but it also is much more flexible.

45
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:39,130
Some people might only be able to put in an hour to a weekend.

46
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:43,020
Other people might blow through it every day all day.

47
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:45,140
Not doing anything else except taking the course.

48
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:49,650
But the goal is that it's for everyone out there and it's not just that it's more flexible and more

49
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:50,380
affordable.

50
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:54,330
But I really spent a lot of time redesigning everything from scratch.

51
00:02:54,330 --> 00:02:59,520
So brand new curriculum stuff this is stuff I've been teaching for years and I redesigned every lesson

52
00:02:59,550 --> 00:03:05,100
every lecture every assignment came up with brand new ideas and brand new ways of teaching these topics

53
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:07,770
which is the kind of work that I really enjoy doing.

54
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:11,680
So I haven't the video where I talk about all the technologies we teach.

55
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,010
There's so many different tools and topics that we cover.

56
00:03:14,010 --> 00:03:15,730
It really requires its own video.

57
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:20,730
But the main point I want to make here is that everything that I teach in this course is up to date

58
00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:21,130
.

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,110
It's relevant.

60
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:23,700
It's used in industry.

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,830
It's not dying.

62
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,960
It's not in decline.

63
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:29,310
But these are things that are very popular and very exciting.

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,110
There's things that people want to learn right now and there are the same technologies that a lot of

65
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:35,980
the boot camp programs are teaching.

66
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:43,050
So I have no ph on here as a note and I wrote that there because I've noticed that so many online courses

67
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:48,150
right now teach Ph.D. and if you don't know what PH is all you need to know is that it's a language

68
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,210
a back end language that used to be very popular.

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,190
And the fact is it still is relatively popular but it's in decline.

70
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:57,800
It's not something that grows year to year anymore.

71
00:03:57,810 --> 00:04:02,490
It's not something that industry and startups and big tech companies are really looking for at this

72
00:04:02,490 --> 00:04:06,160
point but there are so many courses online that teach it.

73
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:12,450
And in my opinion that's because HP is pretty easy to teach in an online setting the set up getting

74
00:04:12,450 --> 00:04:17,400
everyone installed making sure that the tools work for everyone are really easy to do.

75
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,990
And that's not the case with a lot of the more exciting and newer technologies.

76
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:26,160
And I had a lot of reservations about not teaching something like ph P because in my in-person classes

77
00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:31,080
it's much easier to help someone get their computer set up and get their system set up to teach something

78
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:33,160
like node or express.

79
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:39,490
Fortunately I found some technologies online that really make it easy it's even easier than teaching

80
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,240
ph.

81
00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:44,310
There's some great tools that we use that will get you set up with everything you need in a matter of

82
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:44,990
seconds.

83
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,620
So that's not a worry any more.

84
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:51,960
And we can focus on teaching the most exciting the most relevant things that are being used right now

85
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,910
in industry.

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,930
So Ph.D. is not one of those.

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Rather the main focus of this course is on Node J.S. and really the main focus is on Javascript.

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,910
But I just want to throw it out there that this is the only full stack develop recourse that takes you

89
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:07,100
from start to finish.

90
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:08,990
That covers no J.S. Yes.

91
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:14,670
So there are plenty of standalone node course is out there that either presume you have previous experience

92
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:20,250
or they only see each node and nothing else but this course again is from start to finish.

93
00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:25,120
Everything you need to know node is just one facet of this gigantic curriculum.

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,330
It's a huge web of topics that we cover.

95
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:32,970
And the reason that I mention this right now is that node is by far the fastest growing the most exciting

96
00:05:32,970 --> 00:05:34,880
technology out there right now.

97
00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:37,260
It's the opposite of something like HP.

98
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:41,840
I do want to make it really clear though that I'm not saying HP is something you shouldn't learn and

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,940
not saying no J is a miracle technology that solves all of your problems but in my experience is someone

100
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:52,350
who has taught hundreds of people how to program helped hundreds of people change their careers.

101
00:05:52,410 --> 00:05:57,720
Node is one of the best paths to success and that's why I'm teaching it and I expand a lot more on why

102
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,690
we teach Noad why we don't teach something like ph P or Python or Ruby that there are valid technologies

103
00:06:03,690 --> 00:06:08,940
that have worked just fine and that I've actually talked before too but I've settled on nood and javascript

104
00:06:09,210 --> 00:06:11,750
as the best way to teach someone to program.

105
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,980
And the last really big point that I want to make is that this class is constantly changing with new

106
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:23,070
material new content projects new assignments exercises that are always being added.

107
00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:28,110
Think of it as a subscription to the best content out there for learning how to be a web developer.

108
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:32,910
So this isn't just a one time thing that as soon as you take the course and you finish it you're done

109
00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:33,090
.

110
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,430
That's not how it works.

111
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,780
You'll get emails every week every month with new content.

112
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,440
I just added a new project or bootstrap for just came out.

113
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:45,960
So I've added a bootstrapped form module on top of our bootstrap 3 module and this is something that's

114
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,950
pretty unique.

115
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:50,940
A lot of the course out there do get updates but they're not very frequent.

116
00:06:51,150 --> 00:06:52,650
It might be once a quarter.

117
00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:53,830
Here's a new unit.

118
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,360
But this course is different in that it's constantly updating with new material.

119
00:06:57,390 --> 00:07:00,230
And it just keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

120
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,580
And lastly if you like dogs there's a very cute dog named resti that I feature pretty heavily in this

121
00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:06,420
course.

122
00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:08,870
If you don't like dogs just turn the video off right now.

123
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:11,110
Don't worry we have plenty of cat photos too.

124
00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:13,700
But if you like dogs fear intrigued by this image.

125
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,380
You like those giant ears.

126
00:07:15,530 --> 00:07:17,060
And this is the course for you.

127
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:23,160
So to wrap everything up I just want to go back to the second slide here where it says this is the only

128
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,720
course you will ever need to learn my development.

129
00:07:25,770 --> 00:07:28,130
I stand by that statement 100 percent.

130
00:07:28,170 --> 00:07:33,150
If you want to learn to be a web developer whether it's because you think it will be fun you want it

131
00:07:33,150 --> 00:07:34,050
as a hobby.

132
00:07:34,050 --> 00:07:35,300
You want to try and get a job.

133
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:36,790
You want to start your own company.

134
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,690
You want to create your own web site for a friend or your own company that you already have.

135
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,260
This is the course for you.

136
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:47,900
It takes you from start to finish from a complete beginner up to a web developer.
