In 2024-10, the Bootcamp project delivered four major features that enhance learner access, course content management, and mentor-facing UX. A new Press Kit page was introduced with a dedicated controller, view, images, and a media/resources footer. Public access to the Rails Engineer Course Page was enabled by removing a before_action restriction. The Rails Developer Course content was restructured and cleaned: outdated regulations were removed, renamed to terms, an 'application start' procedure was added, and UI cleanups were performed. UI improvements were made to the User List and Mentor Dashboard to improve responsiveness and display density on wider screens. These efforts collectively improve information visibility, reduce friction for learners and mentors, and lay groundwork for scalable content governance.
