Happy graduation to Python NightsĀ for Beginners Batch 17!Ā During the past 2 months, the batch not only learned the fundamental concepts of Python but also touched on the basics ofĀ SQL,Ā sqlite3,Ā API, andĀ Flask. At the end of the course, the students successfully completed a mini project of building up a pizza-size editor.
It’s not an easy thing to keep learning new things after work, but our brave wcoders managed to do it and upgraded their tech skills through consistent efforts and dedication. Well done and congratulations!
3. Dev Bootcamp Batch 19’s Graduation & Demo Day
After an intensive 12-week journey, our web development students showcased their final group project and the skills they learned during the bootcamp on our Demo Day.
Inspired by the team’s experiences of looking for jobs in Korea, they built a career-matching platform ‘Waygukwin‘ to help English speakers in KoreaĀ find an ideal positionĀ based on users’Ā technical skills, visa status, education backgrounds…etc.Ā
After the presentation, our alumni, developers, and attendees gave insightful feedback and advice from both technical and business perspectives. It was indeed a great opportunity for the students to showcase the technologies they learned and experience how a team works in a real IT working environment.
We’re proud of what these graduates have accomplished, and we know they have the skills and determination to succeed. Congratulations to the graduates, and best of luck in their future endeavors!
4. Newbies of April: Welcome to wcoding!Ā
We are delighted to have 2 cohorts, a weekendĀ Intro to Web DevĀ and an intensiveĀ Dev Bootcamp,Ā who just started their coding journey with us this month!Ā
Outside of the class, our Dev Bootcamp students formed a study group to work on their first solo project and reviewed the course materials together. Sometimes, the students will stay for the tutoring session led by our Teaching Assistants to refresh what they have learned so far.
It’s great to see how the group is dedicated and hardworking in learning coding and we look forward to everyone’s growth throughout the course!
1. Congratulations on the Completion of the Course for January Graduates!
Our proud students fromĀ Dev BootcampĀ Batch 18Ā Ā just graduated from wcoding thisĀ JanuaryĀ – Happy graduation and well done!

Before attending wcoding, Tiffany Pang was a Customer Service Specialist. She is now a proud graduate of wcodingās Dev Bootcamp 16th batch, and recently she has successfully pivoted her career as a Technical Product Manager at a B2B catering platform startup in Korea!
What did you do before wcoding and what led you to wcoding campus?
Originally I studied hospitality and tourism and worked in a hotel in New York. Then I came to Korea and worked as a Global Operation & Customer Service Specialist at a Korean gaming company for the past 2 years.
In my last job, I felt a bit lost in my career because itās nothing related to hospitality anymore and I found myself not interested in the job anymore so I wanted to look for other options that can be beneficial to my future career.
I was in between doing a Master Degree in Hospitality or doing a Bootcamp to learn web development and coding. Finally, I decided to do the Bootcamp because I thought coding could open more doors for me. Plus, I feel coding can be a useful skill to me, even if I didnāt become a great developer in the end, I can still use it for something else or find other roles in the Tech industry.
What made you choose wcoding campus as a way to change your career, rather than going back to college, or teaching yourself?
First of all, like many people, Iām not a really good self-learner. š I prefer an environment where I am learning and collaborating with peers, with interactions and encouragement from the teacher. Also, I feel itās important to have an instructor who understands how to guide and keep students on the right path, instead of us finding many online resources that we donāt know what to do with.
Timewise, itās also cost-effective and makes more sense to do a bootcamp rather than a whole Bachelorās degree.
I heard that you are also active as a content creator on Youtube. Can you share with us a day of a Content Creator while Learning at wcoding Dev Bootcamp?
I havenāt really been doing Youtube consistently, Youtube is just a hobby to record my life in Korea. During the bootcamp, since the course itself is already quite intensive (Weekdays, 10 am to 5 pm), I didnāt have that much time to think about it.
Most of the days when in the class, at night, I was either studying or resting. During the weekend, I went to study with my friends. Usually I studied coding, reviewed or did the projects, but sometimes, I spared some time to edit videos and took it as my break time from coding. š
Tiffanyās Daily Schedule:
8:45 am: Wake up
9:50 am: Arrive at wcoding and start the class
12:30 pm: Lunch
1:30 pm: Afternoon session
5:00 pm: Review session with Teaching Assistant or go home
6:00 pm: Dinner
7:00 pm~: Homework time – Work on projects or reading materials for the next day
What were some of your favorite projects that you built where you were in the program?
My favorite project is a secret chat messenger that we made together in class. Originally, we only did a ālog-in functionā practice, and then we developed it as a messenger program, and finally we combined them together. I felt this project was more useful compared to other projects like mini games because chatting and log-in functions are in all websites and apps nowadays. So I actually felt these features are something that I can contribute to future projects if I work in web or app development companies.
What would you say was the biggest challenge in your journey of learning to code?
Before, I enjoyed making websites prettier (in design aspects) when I created a new project. However, even though I enjoy doing it, Iāve learned thatās not all there is to making an actually functional website. So, if I think back now, I think the āproblem solving mindsetā and the ālogic partsā of the code has been the biggest challenge for me.
I remember that it was the first week of learning JavaScript where all the complicated coding logics came in, and as a first-time learner, it was quite confusing. But I got familiar with it once I practiced more and it actually became easier to pick up other programming languages as I already had an idea of how the syntax and logic parts of the codes work.
Many people said that the tech industry lacks diversity, how do you think about it? As a female programmer, what advice do you have for other women thinking about making a career change and attending a bootcamp?
I know lots of my female friends and acquaintances that are actually doing great as a software developer and I see other friends who finish the bootcamp are doing great, even the teacher I had at wcoding was a female as well!
However, Iām sure there are issues like this and thatās why there are organizations like Women Who Code that are advocating for the change up for the field. But I saw so many great examples that donāt let the lack of diversity stand in their way if theyāre a woman, I would say if you see a problem with something, that’s even more of a reason to do something about it and show others that they can do it too!
