Surf & Code bootcamp in sunny Nicaragua!

Have you been considering getting into programming, to make a career switch or just get a better idea of whether it’s the thing for you? Why not do it while surfing in sunny Nicaragua?!

 

The Surf & Code bootcamp at Los Clavos Surf Camp in Nicaragua is the perfect way to get a solid foundation in web development while soaking up sun rays and catching waves in one of the best surf destinations in the world.

 

  

 

The idea behind the camp is to give you a chance to hone both your body and mind through combining surfing and coding. Both require patience, and a zen like approach to problem solving and incremental learning. The learning curve is steep for both, but they are very rewarding and fun pursuits! Additionally, the camp provides daily yoga, massages, boat expeditions and more.

 

The program duration is 12 days, with the 6th day being “fun” day to relax and do whatever you like! Daily activities will include surfing in the morning, lunch and then a 2h lesson with the instructor, followed by 3+ hours of exercises which the instructor, Anton, will help you with.

 

The goal is to give you a solid foundation in web development, and “teach you to fish” so that you can continue to grow independently. The core technologies you will learn about include CSS, HTML, JavaScript, NodeJs, Git, MongoDB, Mongoose, Heroku and a number of conceptual frameworks, and approaches to development to allow you to build modern web applications.
