Toronto is the midst of a coding renaissance. There are more opportunities to learn in-person than ever before. Whether you're looking to dive in to a full-time bootcamp and learn front- or back-end development, gain some introductory skills or join a class part-time, there's something for you out there. Finding the right environment and class focus for yourself is the first step in the path of learning how to code. Do your research; visit the space you'll be learning in, review course outlines and reach out to alumni. The learning process is different for everyone, and the great thing is that there are plenty of learning opportunities here in Toronto.
