Hola Ramon!

Iā€™m Manoel. Iā€™m from Galicia, Spain, but I live in Belgium. Itā€™s great to be here, and I look forward to meeting other learners and learning some JavaScript - Iā€™ve tried some JS courses before but never seem to get to the end of the course by myself! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

PS: Went back to check, and sure enough, Iā€™ve been at 73% in the Codecademy JS course for years. :sweat_smile:

Hello everyone, my name is Maciej. I am from Poland, my background is in IT - Technical and Software Support, but I want to make a career change, so I have been slightly dabbling in C# and Python for the past year, but then I decided to leave my workplace and make a switch to learning Web Development and pursue the role of a Junior Web Developer.

I tried The Odin Project, but it was somewhat hard to do on my own, so I thought this bootcamp would be ideal to tackle that challenge, as well as have the community to support me here. Also the projects in the detailed overview looked very interesting.

Hello to all!

My name is Angel Bracamontes, and I am from Mexico. My background is in Humanities (I have a Linguistics degree) but I am currently transitioning to web development because I just loooove to code (even tho Iā€™m bad at it). Iā€™ve tried The Odin Project but got stuck on the foundations, JavaScriptā€™s at fault, so Iā€™ve decided to try this opportunity to learn the lang and a lot of great people with similar interests along the way.

Super excited and really looking forward to contribute and meeting you!
