The best coding bootcamps simulate a real-world software environment for their students; the grads are so well-prepared, they come in and hit the ground running, that’s really what we’re looking for.

In 2018, Galvanize acquired Hack Reactor to combine forces with another top coding bootcamp, further establishing Galvanize as a leader in software engineering education with an alumni network of more than 8,000 graduates. Since the acquisition, Galvanize and Hack Reactor staff, instructors, and former alumni have worked together to combine the best parts of both bootcamps to ensure the bootcamp remains best in class.
