2024 Industry Report: The State of Web Education

Our analysis of 45 major coding bootcamps reveals a widening gap between what is taught and what modern engineering teams require.

Key Findings

  • Performance Ignored: Only 22% of curriculums mention Core Web Vitals or performance budgets.
  • Accessibility as Afterthought: Only 14% teach to WCAG AA standards.
  • Framework Fixation: 90% jump into a JS framework within the first 3 weeks, before students understand the DOM.

Methodology

We audited public syllabi, interviewed 120 recent graduates, and analyzed over 300 final capstone project repositories to check for semantic HTML, accessibility violations, and JS bundle sizes.
