As I mentioned in my last post, before signing up for Bitmaker Labs I did my homework by reading the blogs of current and recent students. Of course, there’s lots to learn from the official website and blog, but naturally they’ll only have good things to say about their own program. So if you want the inside scoop, you can check out the links below, which I’ve found helpful.

A few students from the current cohort have started a podcast about life at Bitmaker. They call it Bit by Bit, and it’s definitely worth listening in on. In Episode 2, they give answers to some of the questions they had when starting the program.

• Bitmaker Labs Podcast – Episode 1
• Bitmaker Labs Podcast – Episode 2

And here are the blogs:

• Kode Konviction
• THE BIKE SHED IS RED
• Gavin’s Adventures in Code
• Brian Han
• Developing Andrew
• Kim Yee
• Wrestling Development
• Stuff.
