Why a TypeScript Bootcamp?
Even in the middle of this rough bear market, the Internet Computer ecosystem is growing and attracting a lot of new builders.
Despite all of this, there is still not enough builders to hunt all the available opportunities:
- There are $200 million available in funds for the Developer Grant Program by DFINITY to fund innovative applications. 🤯
- News features being released: Bitcoin integration, Ethereum integration and vetKey, but still very few projects leveraging them.💡
- Constantly growing ecosystem with new projects and teams seeking developers 👨💻
Meanwhile, Demergent Labs has spent the last two years developing Azle, a TypeScript SDK for the Internet Computer, making it more accessible to TypeScript developers.
With Azle, you can now build Web3 with TypeScript.
That’s why at Code & State, we are hosting, from 21–27th of August, the first ever Typescript Bootcamp for the Internet Computer. Today, I’ll answer every question that you might have about this upcoming Bootcamp. So prepare your cup of coffee and buckle up 👇
What is this Bootcamp about?
This Bootcamp is a virtual event where you will join other developers for one intense week of learning about the Internet Computer and Azle. The goal of the week is clear and simple: you will have to build a DAO, fully on the Internet Computer.
You will be helped along your journey, with workshops and mentorship sessions.

I’m a complete newbie, can I still apply?
Unfortunately, experience and prior knowledge with TypeScript is required. This Bootcamp is not a TypeScript Bootcamp, we will focus on concepts related to Web3 and the Internet Computer.
However, we are planning several initiatives for complete beginners looking to get started on the Internet Computer. Make sure to follow Code & State, and stay tuned!
Are you planning to do other languages than TypeScript?
Yes and yes. Expect more announcements to come out soon. Once again, make sure to follow Code & State, and stay tuned!
Can I join regarding of where I live?
100%.
Our mentors & students are all over the world. This is part of the reason why everything will be recorded.
All recordings will be published and available as soon as possible during the week. Mentorship sessions will be handled by mentors living in two different zones, so you should always have an available slot to join. For the rest, all the educational material can be consumed asynchronously.
Is there a physical gathering for this Bootcamp?
At Code & State we are not hosting a physical event for this Bootcamp.
But if you notice that other people around you are excited at the prospect of doing the Bootcamp together, then go ahead and organize a gathering. And if you do, make sure to send us some nice pictures. 📸
