Qvault is moving to Boot.dev
Last published April 7, 2022
We’ll keep this announcement short – we’ve moved Qvault.io to Boot.dev! As you know, we’ve been hard at work bootstrapping on online computer science bootcamp. Qvault (now Boot.dev) is a simple CS curriculum where our students build real projects using modern programming languages and technologies.
Anyhow, we think the new name does a much better job conveying our project’s goals, and the new dark theme is much easier on the eyes. Be sure to check out what we’ve done with the place.
New look
Boot.dev is a developer-first workspace, and as such we’ve switched to a (default) dark mode. Let us know what you think.
New guiding principles
If you haven’t read about our unique beliefs on coding education, you should check them out. We have some fairly strong opinions about the best way for new developers to advance their careers. Specifically surrounding the relationship between real coding projects and guided courses. Read all about that on our new about page here.

All Coding Courses on boot.dev Are Now Free to Audit
Mar 15, 2021 by Lane Wagner - Boot.dev co-founder and backend engineer
Last weekend I did a major revamp of boot.dev’s payment strategy, after toying with the first version since I launched in the summer of 2020, as it turns out, the microtransaction (gem) strategy didn’t work out to the benefit of my students, nor to the growth of boot.dev. As a result, I’ve flipped my funding strategy on its head and decided to make all of boot.dev’s content free to audit. Let’s take a look at exactly what that means.
