Mallorca Bootcamp es el primer bootcamp de programación de Islas Baleares. Arrancamos en enero con un objetivo claro: Ayudar a nuestros alumnos a convertirse en desarrolladores web y que encuentren trabajo.

Se trata de un programa inmersivo que requerirá de todo tu tiempo durante las 12 semanas de duración. Aprenderás a desarrollar aplicaciones web complejas con JavaScript, tanto en la parte Front-End como Back-End. Al acabar, te presentaremos a empresas y te ayudaremos a encontrar tu primer trabajo como programador.

Si quieres formar parte, inscríbete o pide más información en mallorcaboot.camp.

También buscamos desarrolladores con ganas de enseñar y empresas interesadas en contratar a nuestros coders. Ponte en contacto en albert@mallorcaboot.camp.
