This is a presentation about Code Platoon. Code Platoon is a non-profit, immersive bootcamp that prepares veterans for careers in software development. Like Dev Bootcamp, General Assembly and other immersive bootcamps, students learn everything they need to begin a career as a software developer. Only Code Platoon is $1,500, much less than other bootcamps, and geared specifically for veterans.
