I've been working 2 years, lost my job and started 42 8/10 months after, worked for me.

Opinions I don't like the UI, looks like ubuntu, the finder is probably one of the worst designed ever file manager (no parent folder, need to enable hidden files display in the terminal) , some coreutils works differently (like sed), some basic windows management is missing (always on top, windows resizing). At each new version, tools like valgrind are broken for some times. You can't set keyboard shortcut easily, and need admin rights to do so. Still better than windows to work thanks to the unix base. Lots of students buy MacBook to have an unified experience when working at home, because there are little differences with dirent/stat/xattr/acl, and "it just works (tm)". I prefer spending 1 or 2 hours settings something to work how I expect it to do than an inconvenient pre-set software. The hw has issue too, there are turned on 24/7, there are screen burn after some times (like old CRT), and the down left angle of the screen are burned (mostly visible on white, it's dark like something behind the glass burned it). We're using an old magic mouse which is a joke (can't right click without removing the left finger of the mouse, the 360 mouse wheel never works, need a mouse-pad to work, and doesn't work on white). /Opinions

"Stagiaire de la formation continue", pole-emploi will give you 650e per month even if you don't have any remaining rights for 3 years, they consider it's a formation to get a job later. It's not the RSA if that's what you're thinking with the 25+ yo.

You can loan like 15k euros without any interest, and work part-time after your first year, or even during the first but it' s not recommended. If you've already worked before you can get ~650e per month during the 3 year of the formation.

There is already some web development projects (currently html/css/php and javascript), and RoR subjects are being crafted by students. We start with low level, and after some basics (unix shell, stdlib, printf, corewar, raytracing 3d-engine and web), there's some sysadmin stuff, pentesting, kernel programming, functionnal programming, unity, machine learning, etc.
