‘Benefits of A Coding School’

Learning to code can be daunting. Even just wading through the myriad of options for learning can be overwhelming. Ultimately, the majority of new professionals are turning to code schools or boot camps. Why are these such popular options? And what are the benefits of attending a code school?

Todd Albert, Founder of Boca Code, discusses why he has hired so many code school graduates, the benefits he sees, why he ultimately started Boca Code, and why you should consider one of these schools (Boca Code or others) to help you launch a new career in tech.
