BoiseCodeWorks

Read More to use towards my coding journey as well.

During my short-lived but experience filled time at CodeWorks I met some of the most passionate teachers , assistants, and students while being submerged in an incredible environment for learning. I wasn't sure exactly what i was getting into before joining... Read More but on day one they were completely transparent with the sacrifices necessary, and how difficult this course would be to undertake. but that they would be behind is every step through the struggles and victories and they were. By no means this course was easy but it got me involved in a field that i'm obsessed with now and with every chance to learn something new and tackle difficult problems and gaining the necessary skills in doing so.

My experience at CodeWorks has been absolutely fantastic. The instructors and staff are always working to make sure you're ready to start a new career and really passionate about helping students change their lives. There is a lot of focus on soft skills... Read More and career prep in addition to the time spent learning to write code. I feel like this and the connections to the tight knit Boise tech community really set CodeWorks apart from other options.

I knew Boise CodeWorks was a challenging program, but I never thought that I would learn so much in such a short amount of time. The curriculum is centered on building actual full-stack applications, and the instructors/staff have a singular focus of... Read More helping the students find success. Leaving with a portfolio of real-world applications that you built each week is invaluable during the job-search. I whole-heartedly recommend Boise Codeworks to anyone looking to challenge themselves in an environment that is centered around rapid, meaningful understanding of web development.

I had the pleasure of graduating from CodeWorks' Immersive Full Stack program recently, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I was feeling burnt out in my previous career and was ready for a change, but was hesitant to pull the trigger. What finally... Read More sealed the deal for me was speaking with several graduates of their course. As a small, local business they are fully invested in the success of each and every student. Their curriculum is fast paced and difficult, but they give you all of the tools you need to succeed. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, they seamlessly transitioned from a classroom environment to teaching fully online, and the level of instruction we received never wavered. One of the biggest things that sets CodeWorks apart from their competitors is their family atmosphere and career preparation. They also have tremendous professional connections throughout the Treasure Valley. If you are thinking about making a career change into the world of software development, I cannot recommend the Boise CodeWorks program enough.

I have had civilian and military training. Undergrad and Graduate courses, both online and in-person.

Boise CodeWorks beats them all. I highly recommend BCW. The program is intense and designed to turn you into a developer.
Worth every penny.

PROS: There... Read More really are too many to name. The program guides you through developing software at a professional level. You're building from day 1 and you never stop. You leave the program as a software developer. You have the skill set and knowledge to be part of a team of developers that you will not find from a conventional college program.

CONS: It only lasted 13 weeks.

Also, I posted the below statement on Google, and my sentiments belong here as well.

Going to Boise CodeWorks has by far been one of the best choices I have ever made. Before going here I was teaching myself how to code on freeCodeCamp after work and on the weekends. After about 8 months, I felt that coding is something I am super passionate... Read More about and needed to find a school to really help teach me what I need to know to get into this field. This school does such a great job of teaching and helping you understand the concepts in such a short amount of time. It does get stressful but they know how to keep learning fun. The projects they have you make are really cool and great for putting on your portfolio. I am happy to have graduated, sad to be leaving the school, and excited to be starting my career! I would absolutely recommend Boise CodeWorks to anyone looking to become a developer!
