"A must for the beginner like me"
As someone who implicitly knew nothing about coding, I can say without a doubt that Lambda School is the best course for a newbie. I got an enormous help throughout my learning experience in all the nooks and corners of programming. And better yet it... Read More

"Good course for both experienced and noob Programmer"
As a beginner in programming, I love to test my skills and learn new technology. Lambdaschool actually helped me to do so. The materials about the topics are vast and deep. The course is well thought and very interactive to read. The best section is of... Read More

I would never have thought about learning to code if my friend had not introduced me to Lambda School. I can't say enough good things about Lambda School. Many coding languages with three interactive lesson design to choose from. I did the Part-time on... Read More

"Overall Review"
The Bootcamp of Lambda School was simple yet very effective. The thing that I like about Lambda School is:
1. the course plan i highly effective and feasible due to awesome time management (Full-time, Part-time and Mini boot camps)
2. Availability of the... Read More
3. Working with a team: You will have to complete your projects working together with other students. This gives you an idea on how to work with a team at the professional level.
I started with the Part-time Bootcamp on web-designing having no prior knowledge about programming. And I had to work hard to learn. But If you are already a better programmer and want to update or learn a new skill, you will find this course rather easy at the beginning but as you go on the course gets challenging. I would recommend you to stick till the end to see the best result. Also, another thing is, the more you interact, the more you learn here. So, don’t hesitate to ask any question when you are confused. Overall Lambda School is a decent place to learn to program and I know I will be returning soon for the full-time Bootcamp

"It is a great place to switch development platform"
Even though I enjoy working in any one platform and using the language to solve problems, I love to switch platforms and programming language. As a data analyst, I was mainly working with Python, Closure and R. I was thinking to go into web development... Read More

I started to take classes in Lambda School right after finishing my bachelor's degree. Instead of applying for a job, I chose to improve my skills in Lambda School and it was one of the best decisions that I took. I took full time web development bundle... Read More

"Review"
I just graduated from lambdaschool, and I attended both mini-bootcamp and full-time course like a lot of people in my group. I enjoyed the course and curriculum. Austen is helpful and responsive to every student. I got a lot of assistance during job search,... Read More
All the instructors were responsive and helpful. They had a lot of experience in teaching programming and working in the tech industry.
I enjoyed the bootcamp but it did not reach the potential I hoped to reach. Maybe due to my previous experience in programming, the curriculum felt incredibly slow for me and I was not in the right crowd. I liked the projects but they were way easy for someone who had experience in coding. I wished I was placed with crowd of same experience and strengths.
Due to slow pace in the beginning, the course felt rushed towards the end and I pretty sure that we did not learn all of the things we could. And, I did not get enough time with lead instructor to ask questions I wanted. Frontend part was amazing (js/css/html) but backend material did not feel as powerful and through. I wanted to learn a lot more and more time for the price I paid. All the teachers were helpful but it was not enough.
However, I had good experience going into lambdaschool and it paid off because of awesome job support. If you are just a beginner starting to start the career in programming the course is just what you need. But, if you already have a decent experience in web development, it might not be right for you.

"One of the best web development/design course"
I joined lambdaschool in Jan and graduated in April with the web development certification and got the job as a UI/UX designer at a decent web design firm. Here are my thoughts on the school:
Pros:
They have really great JavaScript course and web development... Read More
Teachers and mentors are supportive and experienced.
Groups discussions and all the people who joined the course were friendly and helpful.
Everyone pitches in to help you to catch up with the course if you fall behind.
They have one the best job placement support for course graduates out there.
Cons:
Not much friendly for beginners.
Too much curriculum is crammed and feels rushed for the time period.
Requires too much time and work.

"Great experience, atmosphere and people"
I did not have much experience or expectations going into lambdaschool. I just wanted to get a beginner job in tech industry after the course and I got a lot of offers after graduation. Lambdaschool staff was highly dedicated toward helping us to learn... Read More
The curriculum and subject was very beginner friendly and I could learn a lot in few weeks. Classes were filled with amazing people who were very interactive and helpful.
I am very impressed with their teaching methods and whole experience of bootcamp. Some of my friends had attended the mini-bootcamps and knew teachers beforehand, but instructors were very professional and did not make any biased decision.
I also enjoyed doing small assignments and final projects. I was stunned by the stuff I had learnt by the end of the course. You should definitely join lambdaschool if you are serious about getting job after the graduation.

"Most productive 3 months of my life"
First, I never thought I could learn to code in less than 3 months before I joined lambdaschool. I enjoyed the whole experience throughout the course; both mini-bootcamp and full-time course.
I was always into tech but never really thought about making... Read More
Unlike part time course, full-time course was really tough and challenging but it shaped me into better programmer and designer. The mini-bootcamp prepared me for the challenge and I enjoyed bit of full time course too.
You must remember that learning programming is fun, but being good at it requires a lot of practice and discipline to do that. No matter which bootcamp you join, you have to work by yourself. Try mini-bootcamp of the lambdaschool; it is just as challenging and will let you see if the course is right for you.
Even though, the course was not perfect and I expected a lot more support for job placement; lambdaschool is one of the decent bootcamps out there and three months you give to them will be the most productive 3 months of your life
