In short: at least a little.
%br
We start the course from zero, so basically you wouldn't need to be able to program.
BUT: How will you know this is right for you without having tried it.
Since you will spend 8 solid weeks programming, with the intent of making it your carreer,
you should know what you're getting into.
%br
Programming is quite different than one might think. It has lots of structure, but
is also very creative. It is an never-ending learning process, meaning one never has
as much knowledge as one wants and one is heavily and often frustratingly dependent
on other peoples work.
Not being able to program and wanting to start a bootcamp may be comparable to not having run
5 kilometers, but wanting to train for marathon. The step is too big, and we don't want
you to break down half way anymore than you do.
%br
We believe that if you haven't tried it, you should do at least an online course or
railsgirls weekend to see if it really is what you want.
%br
We will test your ability to solve problems and face challenges in the interview,
but not programming skills.
Basic online tutorials, and lots of meetups are a good way to learn some programming and
get a feel of whether it is right for you. (also see the next question)
