20:45...This is a great point on knowing the fundamentals very well. I have been seeing many comments on various social media platforms from devs already employed talking about "self-taughts" being dismissed from the hiring pools due to the fact they always have to bring them up to speed in some way due to their lack of a solid grasp of basics. One comment I read said they simply are not hiring junior devs anymore because the pool of certified degrees or "credible" (whatever that means these days) education/training in applicants is plentiful. This interview was done 7mos ago, but as of April '24, I would say bootcamps who have been in the space for awhile and have endured the flux can be, once again, a "credible" source of training! I, for one, am starting Ludo's Full Stack program at the end of the month. My 'self-taught' efforts have shown me one thing to remember in a boot camp....you will get exactly what you put into it!
I really love his response to the challenge of the quality of students that are allowed to enter into the bootcamp. The idea that he does not want to limit or hold back that potential student that can realize there potential as they begin. This works if you do not change or dilute the delivery, content, and intensity of the course material. For those that struggle or need the additional work can recycle back to the beginning for that section they are struggling with and can also offer a prep course which would be great advice for anyone wanting to enter into a bootcamp.
You have lifetime access to the contents of your Nucamp bootcamp including access to any updates the coursework receive. That’s a huge benefit to those who need a more structured curriculum.
I think that it is also important to recognize that when we tell some people , they did not pass , in a lot of cases they don’t see it as a “not yet “ but like a “no”
22:10 I total agree with you that ppl should know the foundations of CSS before learning a CSS framework. When you want to customize a widget or fine tune a layout how is that going to be done without knowing CSS well. CSS has the same chance of being replaced as JavaScript does. Bootstrap/jQuery only got so popular cause Microsoft IE didn't conform to standards and made working with pure CSS/JavaScript a nightmare. Now a days with modern CSS/JavaScript it lessens the need for bootstrap/jQuery. That's why tailwind is so popular cause it's pretty close to pure CSS if you switch out class names with inline css properties. Great interview btw.
I am new to the whole web development world. Been doing some research on bootcamps to help me get into the field and I am really impressed by Nucamp. I have been looking into several bootcamps and the reviews on Nucamp have been encouraging. Also, your videos on the different bootcamps have been so enlightening, I just want to really thank you for that.
Here's the recent Nucamp review:

This was a very good episode on the methodology of education in the coding bootcamp space. And it is good to see this guest again.

"cause Microsoft IE didn't conform to standards"
Awesome interview
I respect his philosophies
@ludovicf is the new JavaScript course available for previous grads?
I asked the same question. From what I have been told by the staff, we will have retroactive access to the new content in the coming weeks.
Great to see a grad in this chat :) the answer is yes, it will be free when it releases.
@@ludovicfawesome!!
I really like the idea of the free JavaScript course. In fact, I would love to do the Eloquent JavaScript course. When does it come out.
Thanks for the feedback! No date yet... we're still working it out.
Agree on css needs to be abstracted. Understanding fundamental is also very important

i actually did smile when reading the wall, so it works :)
Tailwind doesn't do any magic. It's just a different way to write CSS. If you have a low amount of CSS knowledge, Tailwind will do nothing for you.
Nucamp aka Nuscam, Beware 50% Cancellation fee
