Master21 - Switzerlands first coding bootcamp
Rodrigo Haenggi • February 09, 2017 • Zurich, Switzerland • Talk

In the US, coding bootcamps currently provide a viable and cheaper alternative to the traditional college- / university-education models. But bootcamps also raise a lot of questions. Do they work in a country like Switzerland where education usually does not come with a price-tag? Is it really possible to get a complete beginner “job ready” within 9 weeks? And what are Software companies expecting when they hire an intern or “junior” developer?

Should being able to join a company as a full-time dev really be the goal after graduation? Or are we inherently ignoring more favourable outcomes that coding bootcamps can bring?

During his presentation, Rodrigo will try to shed some light on these questions and talk about the philosophy, personal experiences and insights that went into designing the Master21 curriculum.
