Hasn't AI made learning to code obsolete?

We use AI more than most tech companies - not just to build Boots and the Training Grounds, but also to assist us in our coding work... and we're still hiring developers! The demand for technical talent hasn't gone away. Companies need developers that are AI savvy and can modernize their codebases. The way developers work is changing rapidly, but the demand for developers who can build great software remains high. We teach software development skills for the modern AI assisted world, and also have some AI specific courses like how to build your own Agent.

How long will it take to learn enough to be hired?

It's completely up to you. The time it will take you to be "job ready" will depend on how much you already know, how often you study, and how long you study for. That said, the backend career path takes many people about 12 months.

Should I include Boot.dev projects in my resume and portfolio?

Absolutely! If you built it, use it. You'll build several personal projects while completing our curriculum, and our final course about finding jobs will show you how to construct a job-ready portfolio.

What is Boot.dev? A bootcamp? An online school?

We're not a $10,000 bootcamp. We're not a $50,000 university degree. We are a self-paced, gamified online learning platform for learning back-end web development and computer science. You can learn with us for the price of a gym membership.

What makes Boot.dev different?

We focus on teaching backend-development and data-related skills, which is somewhat of a rarity in online learning. We're also focused on solving what we believe is the hardest problem with online learning: boredom. If you prefer coding rather than watching, and your struggle with online learning is staying motivated and engaged, we think you'll like learning with us.

What will you learn?

Learn AWS and cloud computing from the ground up by building real infrastructure yourself. In this hands-on course, you'll cover cloud infrastructure basics like VPC networking, compute, storage, IAM, and monitoring, then move into deploying apps on AWS with services like EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, Route 53, and CloudFront.

Chapter List

Cloud Computing

Build a foundation in cloud computing concepts, AWS accounts, regions, and cost models before provisioning infrastructure.

Networking - VPCs

Learn AWS networking basics by building VPCs, subnets, route tables, and internet access for secure app deployments.

EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud

Deploy and manage virtual servers on AWS EC2, including security groups, scaling, and production deployment workflows.

Provision and operate managed PostgreSQL databases with AWS RDS for reliable, scalable application backends.

IAM - Identity and Access Management

Secure your AWS environment with IAM users, roles, and policies that enforce least-privilege access for deployed apps.

Monitoring - CloudWatch

Monitor AWS infrastructure and applications with CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alerts to maintain healthy production systems.

DNS – Route 53

Configure domains and DNS routing with Amazon Route 53 so users can reliably reach apps hosted on AWS.

S3 - Simple Storage Service

Store and serve application assets with Amazon S3 using buckets, object permissions, and production-ready storage patterns.

CDN – CloudFront

Speed up global delivery by placing CloudFront in front of AWS-hosted apps and static assets.

ECS - Elastic Container Service

Deploy containerized applications on AWS ECS with task definitions, load balancers, and scalable service orchestration.
