Show HN: Boot.dev – my sideproject attempting to help fix coding education
boot.dev
boot.dev
I started building this thing over two years ago and have just been plugging away in my spare time. I was (and still am) frustrated that when my wife wanted to learn to code I couldn't find high-quality sources that checked the following boxes:
1. Primarily focused on CS, not just the hottest new framework 2. Primarily uses modern languages / modern syntax 3. Is focused on writing real code and projects rather than just video lectures 4. Has a linear curriculum so that students don't have to know enough to build their own.
Anyhow, that's how the project started. I've learned a ton along the way about what my students care about vs what I THOUGHT they would care about so some big pivots in the product have happened since the beginning. I'd love to hear what you all think!
