It looks like you chose Rails.

What made you choose that stack, and how did you stay focused on learning it once you did chose it?

Hi Hashim,

When I decided to enroll in a bootcamp, I researched several online bootcamps that provided a pretrial period, or a pre-bootcamp course. Of all that I took, I most enjoyed Firehose Project's pre-bootcamp, and they taught Ruby/Rails. So that's how I got into Rails.

I think a better approach though would be to research the languages that are most in demand in your local area (unless you don't mind relocating). Then choose from those languages.
