Boot Camp

Learn Bazel fundamentals, straight from the experts!

As part of BazelCon 2018, we will be hosting an introductory Boot Camp where you will learn the basics of how to get the most out of Bazel to build and test your code. This hands-on course is led by full-time members of Google's Bazel engineering team.
