Computer Programming Bootcamp
Donation protected
Coming up on my 30th birthday, evaluating my life, I finally decided to pursue a career. Well, something outside of the service industry, at least. After some months of taking free online courses through Coursera and the Khan Academy, I decided that software engineering is the path for me.
After doing some research, I started applying to coding bootcamps. These programs range from 10-15 weeks and usually are partnered with companies which are hungry for more employees that have software development skills.
I'm asking for help raising the funds necessary to attend one of these programs, most of which don't provide food or housing, and average around $1000/week for tuition. Please help me reach my goal of starting a new chapter in my life that will not only allow me to #ChangeTheRatio within the tech industry, but will also allow me to become a more contributing, productive member of society. You can follow my progress on my blog here. Thank you!
