Due to recent and future job offers focused on technology, Coding boot camps have been developed. These consist in intensive programs designed to teach how to write information codes for software and applications development.

Coding boot camps are specialized in topics such as web, software, and app development, Big Data, interface design by users and other subjects in programming that covers businesses needs. These programs use the most current tools such as JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, Node.js, Express.js, React.js, jQuery, Bootstrap, MySQL and others.

These programs are so simple that no previous knowledge on the subject is needed for these boot camps, anyone from engineers, industrial designers to marketers can sign up. The only requirement needed is to want to learn how to innovate in these software areas.

A great percentage of the people that assisted had no notion of how to program nor understand computer codes, but nevertheless, after the intensive learning program they started to develop abilities to app and digital platform development with a focus on digital economy.
