About

This is an independent review of Boot.dev, a fun platform for learning software engineering that combines game-like elements with practical learning. I am Mario Vellandi, a marketing engineer who believes online education should be interactive and fun.

Why all the effort to make the video and website? Frankly, I love their platform and would like to help them upskill more people around the world. The product and business model is similar to a social entrepreneurship that in the long-term can:

  1. Radically demystify software development and logistics
  2. Reach far more people than universities or bootcamps
  3. Be far more effective than video courses alone

Second, I wanted to refresh my video production skills after a 15-year break 🚀 while exploring interactive video navigation.
