Covalence is hosting a panel discussion on what its coding boot camp has to offer on Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. at the Edney Building, 1100 Market St., Suite 500. For more information on the boot camps, visit covalence.io.

A Birmingham, Ala., company is joining with Chattanooga’s Enterprise Center to offer a so-called coding boot camp aimed at spurring more web development talent in the Scenic City.

The cost is $8,000 per person for 10 weeks of instruction, according to Covalence, the Alabama company brought in to teach the language of the web and help people learn how to set up internet sites and build data bases.

Haley Blackburn, a Covalence program coordinator, said plans are to make scholarship money available, and the cost is lower than some other similar coursework, which can range up to $13,500.

“We provide the training and recruit students, but we want the city and the Chamber [of Commerce] and community leaders backing our program,” she said.
