5 Coding Bootcamps In San Diego To Consider
Pro Tip
A coding bootcamp in San Diego could help you advance your career or salary, but look for a reputable program that aligns with the skills you want to learn.
Coding bootcamps can provide you with the necessary skills to start or advance your tech career, but they’re not the right choice for everyone. Here are a few things to consider when deciding if you should pursue a coding bootcamp in San Diego.
First, decide whether a coding bootcamp or degree might suit your goals better. Although both options prepare you for tech roles, a bootcamp may help you enter the field faster, at least in an entry-level position. Meanwhile, employers may require or prefer a relevant degree, like a computer science degree, which comes with a heftier time and cost commitment.
However, if you want to train quickly for a specific career, like DevOps engineer, a relevant bootcamp could be a good choice. In a Forbes Advisor survey of 500 coding bootcamp graduates, more than 90% of graduates were satisfied with their bootcamp curriculum, and over 87% felt prepared for jobs in the field.
Next, consider your expectations. For example, if your primary goal is to increase your salary at your current job by enhancing your coding skills, you might be happy to learn that nearly 80% of survey respondents saw a moderate to significant increase in income after graduating from their bootcamps, with an average increase of about $27,920.
A bootcamp may also help you switch careers or qualify for a promotion. In our survey, over 48% of graduates say they successfully advanced in their current jobs after completing their program, while another 27.6% started a different job using their new skills.
Still, there are a few drawbacks to coding bootcamps, including their lack of regulation and financial aid opportunities. And, although some bootcamps provide career services to prepare you for work after graduating, jobs aren’t guaranteed. In our survey, it took 45% of graduates at least three months to find a job after completing their bootcamp.
Housing developer National CORE, the San Diego Housing Commission, the county and city of San Diego celebrated the grand opening Tuesday of a 100-unit affordable housing community in San Ysidro.
The Iris, 1663 Dairy Mart Road, is across the street from a trolley stop and the newly renovated Howard Lane Park. It features 42 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom, and 25 three-bedroom apartments for low-income families and individuals, along with a manager’s unit.
“I am proud to support The Iris at San Ysidro because it reflects the kind of thoughtful development our region needs,” said San Diego County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre. “It is housing that is affordable, sustainable and connected to parks, transit and community services.”
Residents at The Iris have “extremely low,” to low income making anywhere from 25% to 60% of the Area Median Income. AMI is $130,800 for a family of two, $165,500 for a family of four, according to the county’s figures.
The Iris includes 15 permanent supportive housing units for people who have experienced homelessness and 50 apartments designed to support residents with mobility challenges and five homes for people with hearing loss.
All units at The Iris will be required to remain affordable for 55 years for households with income up to 60% of San Diego’s Area Median Income.
SDHC awarded 25 housing vouchers to The Iris to help pay rent for residents with extremely low income. These vouchers are tied directly to this development, so that when a household moves on, the voucher stays to help another household with extremely low income.
The project was developed by National CORE and featured public/private partnerships, such as a county investment of $5 million from the Innovative Housing Trust Fund and $6.5 million in No Place Like Home funds. County Behavioral Health Services will also provide supportive services to residents for the next 20 years.
The Iris includes a community room with office space, a laundry room and a courtyard play area with outdoor seating.

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Trade
- SD receive: Lewis Morgan, $525k GAM
- RBNY receive: Up to $1.1m GAM, SuperDraft pick
San Diego FC have acquired midfielder Lewis Morgan from Red Bull New York, the clubs announced Tuesday.
In exchange for the 29-year-old Scottish international, New York will receive up to $1.1 million in General Allocation Money (GAM). The funds include $450k guaranteed GAM in 2026 and up to $650k in conditional GAM.
The Red Bulls retain a portion of Morgan’s 2026 salary budget charge and receive San Diego’s natural third-round pick in the 2027 MLS SuperDraft. Additionally, San Diego will get $525k GAM in 2027 from New York.
Morgan is under contract with San Diego through 2026 with club options for 2027 and 2028.
“Lewis is an attacker who can play across the front three and brings qualities that will add to our group in 2026,” said SDFC sporting director Tyler Heaps.
“He’s proven he can contribute goals and assists in this league, and we look forward to welcoming him to San Diego when we start preseason in the new year.”
Morgan has spent the past six seasons in MLS, starting with Inter Miami CF (2020-21) before getting traded to New York (2022-25).
The former Celtic attacker was named the 2024 MLS Comeback Player of the Year and helped the Red Bulls make MLS Cup presented by Audi that season. He missed most of the 2023 and 2025 campaigns due to injury.
For his MLS career, Morgan has 38g/17a in 140 combined games (all competitions) with Miami and New York.
He’s earned seven caps with Scotland, including at UEFA Euro 2024.
“Lewis has always handled himself with the utmost professionalism, through many tough moments in his career and many fantastic ones,” said RBNY head of sport Julian de Guzman.
“We wish Lewis the best of luck in San Diego.”
San Diego are coming off a historic debut season, where they set expansion club records for points (63) and wins (19). They made the Western Conference Final in the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs.
The Red Bulls are in reset mode after seeing their 15-year playoff streak end. They finished 10th in the Eastern Conference table (43 points).
