The program was very beneficial in grasping the principal fundamentals of software engineering. Various concepts are thoroughly taught and explained. Highly recommendable for the acceleration of one's software engineering career.

I joined this program because I wanted to improve my software developer skills, and I was overwhelmed by all the online tutorials and guides and didn't know where to start and what to focus on. Bogdan and Dragos helped me with all of these things. They showed me what is actually important to focus on: mastering the fundamentals. I now have an understanding of the whole software development life cycle, which is highly relevant in my daily work.

Even though I mainly work with the frontend, working with the backend in this program turned out to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable parts. It was fun to do, and it gave me a better understanding of how the frontend and the backend work together.

Joining this program is a huge return on investment and will save you from wasting countless hours watching tutorial after tutorial getting you nowhere. Instead you will have a clear step-by-step plan helping you getting to senior level much faster.

I'm super happy with the results and only wish I had joined earlier!

Bogdan and Dragos really helped figure out what skills I was missing, and then fill those knowledge gaps. They put a great focus on understanding fundamentals and building on your knowledge from there. The course content is always relevant and they're great at making technical concepts clear.

The community they have built is very nice which means you also get to learn from others' experiences and questions in posts and Q&A calls. I plan to drop in on the calls whenever I can.

Along with strengthening your technical skills, you also learn a lot about the industry and current job market which is super helpful when negotiating and knowing where you stand.

Overall, the program was key to building my confidence and skills, and I got a promotion and raise very early on. I cannot recommend the Software Mastery enough, it's a great investment in your career with a quick payoff.

The place to be if you want to push yourself to the Senior role. Bogan and Dragos are probably the best instructors/coach I have come across in my career including during my student days at university.

The best thing about the course is that they help you first build the confidence that an engineer needs by improving your CV, Linkedin, and also how you portray yourself professionally. They introduce you to a structure and discipline that is much needed to bring the best out of you. Their technical curriculum includes very strong basics and also goes deeper into what you need as an engineer in today's job market.

The code reviews are very detailed, and the social platform helps you also interact with the others who are part of the course. They also have zoom calls twice a week with the group to discuss the problems, issues, or questions they have.

They are also super friendly and help you even with general work issues such as problems with co-workers, managers, and other issues that may come in your work. Overall, my experience has been very good with them and I will continue to attend the weekly zoom calls when I can.

Lastly, I got a senior role through the networking event they did in Berlin. One of their earlier students was present he referred me and I am happily working with that company now. I think most people who join the training get a senior role or higher within a few weeks in, before even completing the whole course.

I wish Bogdan and Dragos the best in the years to come and hopefully, they keep this training program going and it reaches people across the world.

An incredible experience working with these guys. Relevant and thorough course content, as well complete all-round support, advice and a great community. Would highly recommend.

Bogdan and Dragosh are two amazing guys that will treat you from day 0 with professionalism while staying friendly. You can tell they care about you and the community created around the Software Mastery course by the amount of quality content they are constantly uploading new valuable content, sometimes also improving the existing one and they ask you for feedback too.
They always put you and the platform community first, if you have some doubts and you would like to double check on those they are there, if you have a question or you need some help they are there, if you need mentoring or coaching they are there.
It feels like they are there and will always be there, always trying to go above and beyond to improve quality and take things to the next level.
I've never seen this type of content online, they don't break up things to do more courses or lessons leaving you there with a less than clear understanding of what it's going on. They give you the full picture in one and only one pill and you don't even have to choose between the red and the blue one ;)

There are already many glowing reviews here for good reason, so I'll keep mine short: if you want to become a better engineer and improve your LinkedIn profile and resume, then sign up for this program.

There are countless bootcamps / programs out there that claim to teach you relevant skills, but this one actually delivers. This is coming from someone who dropped out of two bootcamps because they didn't meet my needs or provide the knowledge and skills that I needed to up-level my career.

I have worked with both Dragos and Bogdan and these guys are legit. They genuinely want us to succeed.

One caveat: This is a fast-track program, so don't sign up if you're not ready to work at it. It's one of the reasons why you really can jump one level in three months in your career if you sign up and do the work.

I am very happy I got to work with Bogdan and Dragos and I cannot recommend them enough.

I only wish I had joined the program before, but it took me a while to understand my problem and their solution. Every time that I got rejected, I would blame myself for not knowing X or having more experience with Y and then I would try to master that technology. I was really wrong and going nowhere.

They helped me to understand where I was regarding my technical skills, where I wanted to go and how to get there.

This a very unique program because they are not only bringing their technical expertise but also their knowledge about the industry and the job market. They are also supportive and always trying to improve the program.

If you are wondering if this is really for you, I would advise having a call with them to discuss it. In my case it really made the difference and I am very happy I joined the program.

Working with Dragos and Bogdan has been an amazing experience where I have been able to not only increase my salary by 40%but also have the technical skills of a true senior software engineer. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to make that transition from someone who struggles to get by in the industry to someone who is confident and capable in the tech space. The course consists of both the soft skills part where you are assisted in building your CV and LinkedIn as well as how to tackle any type of software engineering interview. The amount of recruiters contacting me went from 1 a month to approximately 40 per month. The second part is made up of the technical skills where you are taught the fundamentals and then more advanced topics which are all accompanied by practical action items. You are definitely challenged in this course. Coming from a non Computer Science background, I obtained a clear understanding of the bigger picture when it comes to web engineering but also have a deeper understanding of each topic (front end, backend, server side, database, systems design etc.). Although you learn React as one of the tools, you become framework agnostic, as you are given the skills and mental models to tackle any framework whether it is front end or backend. Overall, this course has changed my trajectory for the better and I’d highly recommend it, you’re in good hands with Dragos and Bogdan!

Dragos & Bogdan have created a uniquely effective, thoughtfully prepared, highly impactful and no BS path to getting where you know you can and should be.

While the material itself is relevant, streamlined and excellent, the individual coaching calls and community are even more helpful and beneficial.

If you put the work in, Dragos & Bogdan will have you reaching your potential as a dev. Sign up.

This program has been and still is absolutely invaluable for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone. My case was maybe a little different than most of the participants’. I already landed my dream job of senior developer, aiming for principal engineer earlier this year, but as I have started developing a long time ago, and in my previous job I used obsolete technologies due to out of control technical debt, I needed to refresh my skills and bring them into 2022. Dragos and Bogdan are amazing mentors, and their program is really comprehensive. With their bi-weekly calls you will get all the support and attention from them that you will need!

I can't recommend this course highly enough. The course content was ideal for plugging knowledge gaps. I started out as an unconfident "junior-mid", but managed to land a dream job during the course (and commensurate pay uplift - a crazy 100% increase on current salary).

Bogdan and Dragos are both incredibly knowledgable and great at leading through course materials, helping with decisions at work and advising during interviews. The results speak for themselves.

As a self taught developer I got lost in tutorial hell and chasing the dream to get high paying job which was a huge mistake and took me nowhere. Instead of focusing on fundamentals, I focused on fancy libraries or frameworks, instead of focusing on my technical communication I focused on doing tutorials so I could learn those fancy technologies. Which I never did by the way. I felt I needed to get a mentorship and progress as developer or I will have to leave development altogether. So glad that Dragos reached out to me and opened my eyes. Since joining his program I grew so much not just as developer, but as individual. I understood where I stand, where I need to be, and what I need to do. Having a full time job wasn't easy to stay on top of the course, but at least I knew where I'm heading to and I was happy with my progress. Due to personal life it took me a bit longer to get a new job than Dragos would have expected, but thats nothing to do with the course itself. What you have to understand is that this course will require your full attention and you will need to put hard work into it for yourself. This course helped me almost double my salary and the biggest benefit I got from it is that it's changed me as a person and my developer's mentality. Therse is so much more can be said about this program, but I don't want to turn this review into essay.🙂

Thank you, Dragos and Bogdan, for preparing this unique curriculum. This is the best investment I have ever made!!!

As a career changer, I have never had enough time to look at how things work under the hood and I had no idea how and what to look at. So, I have decided to join the program to close that gap and gain greater knowledge of software development fundamentals.

From start to end I was really impressed by the curriculum. It covers all aspects of software development such as TDD, performance, security, deployment, data structures and algorithms as well as handling interviews and salary negotiations. Dragos and Bogdan are great mentors. They monitor your progress closely and guide you to excellence.

In the middle of the program, I was offered a new role with a 25% salary increase and after three months in the role, I had another 20% increase.

I recommend this course to any advanced-junior or mid-level software developer who wants to move to the next level.

I like courses, and I have done several of them, but I can ensure you that this one is way different (and better) in so many levels.

I want to start with something that really makes the difference here, the weekly Q&A sessions. Two times per week you have access to the Q&A session video call with Bogdan, Dragos and the other students. You can ask about the lessons, code reviews, work stuff, ask for advices, etc. In this course I really feel the community and teacher's support, because they are actually there!, is not just another impersonal Slack or Discord channel. They honestly give you the best of themselves and put all their effort to help you in whatever you need, in a technical and personal way. Every time I can, I still connect to those sessions because you can learn so much in there.

In terms of technical knowledge, content and education is great, and Bogdan is an amazing teacher, always with the best disposition help you. You will start with more "basic" content that you will apply and practice during the entire program (the entire course is like a snow ball), to continue with more difficult one. Every class is complemented with a lab/exercise where you will put in practice the lesson's content, and its respective solution video in case you get stuck. The teaching methodology is about building a mindset with solid fundamentals to approach problems, and encourages you to try and experiment so you can really learn by doing, and not following the typical step-by-step course that will not apply to a real world situation.

There is also a module about LinkedIn and CVs, how to negotiate and to approach a job offer or a raise, how to excel in technical interviews! , etc. Dragos knows all about the job market in different countries and he has a lot of experience with it. I can't quantify how helpful this is!.

My experience was (and it still is), really good! so I would definitely recommend this course, specially if you are looking for a job change and/or to level your coding skills up. It changed my mindset completely.

Thanks Dragos and Bogdan for all the passion you put into this course and in every student!

If you’re wondering whether you should do this program or not, STOP wondering, stop doubting.
THIS IS IT!
Do it now! This is by far one of the BEST Return On Investments you can give yourself!
 Only 4 weeks in the program and I not only landed a new job but also managed to reach my target pay check! 
There is so much noise out there, and CWD manages to focus on what matters, by delivering the essentials in a practical and comprehensible way!


It’s not just another course where you pay and then you’re on your own. 
The best part for me is that even if you are stuck or struggling along the way, they check in on you, give you actionable feedback, and they try to make sure you’re getting what you paid for and the best out of the program! It's a real live magical miracle.

Dragos and Bogdan are freaking tech demigods! Mental gurus! And just wonderful and inspiring people!

I joined CodeWithDragos at a difficult moment in my career as a developer. I was feeling stagnated and directionless, so I needed to change and give a boost to my progress. As a self-taught developer, this was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my professional development.

Dragos and Bogdan are true experts and amazing mentors. They have put together a curriculum that is very up-to-date. It will get you well prepared for market demands, from the ground up to the more advanced topics such as performance, testing, CI/CD, architecture, and cloud providers, to name a few. The program focuses not only on these technical skills but also on the fundamentals, principles and patterns, and mindset. You get extremely helpful tips and support to sharpen your CV and nail the interview process with great confidence.
The 1:1s and weekly Q&A sessions will support you along the way, and there’s a great community of like-minded people where you can find motivation, and share progress and experiences.

On top of all this, Dragos and Bogdan are great guys, super friendly, honest and transparent, and always available whenever you need help.

I can't recommend the course highly enough. No BS, no noise, just showing up, following, and putting in the work. If you’re here, no matter where you stand, it means you’re just halfway to taking your career to the next level 🚀

Thank you Dragos and Bogdan!

A big thank you, CWD team!

I took a risk and invested in your services to take a 1-2-3 step above the current position. :)

It's amazing what I've achieved, but it's all because of the work and confidence in this personal development program.

The most interesting thing is that we did not discover a new planet, but we analyzed and focused on concrete tasks that I needed! (Because every developer is different)

Honestly, I would recommend this program only to people who want to work to have an UpGrade and career growth.

"Be a part of the movement!" ;)

Found this program through LinkedIn and am really happy with it so far! As a new developer, I found myself overwhelmed with the amount of information to learn and felt a lack of some fundamental knowledge coming from a non-traditional CS background. The mentorship program with Dragos and Bogdan has really helped me focus on what's important for the next steps of my career and helped me during an interview process to land a much better job opportunity. The program is well rounded not only with work to improve technical skills but with tips to help build your brand and change your mindset as a developer. They are very responsive and knowledgable, I would recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their fundamental skills and get to the next level in their careers!

I'm currently participating in the course. First of all, Dragos and Bogdan are great and intelligent guys, who are always there for you when you need them. The course material is very up-to-date and touches all subjects you need to master to become modern developer attractive for the nowadays market. After week two my Linkedin profile was floated by messages offering jobs. The theory itself, is not too hard, but not too easy either. But that is very subjective. And I spend way more time on it, than the predicted 5 hours (which I don’t mind btw). At last, It's very nice to be part of a developer community for life.

I'm very happy that I joined and would highly recommend it!
