Denish Otieno skillfully and patiently taught us core Java for the first three weeks, with clever examples and labs to push us to experience the important concepts and nuances of the Java language. After this, the instructors built on this foundation with frameworks and tool sets which allowed us to tie our Java data models to persistent databases, control the flow of information here with responsive and data-driven web front ends. This was done with nightly classes and several practical projects which pushed us just a bit beyond what what we knew when the project was assigned, giving us goals on which to focus. While it remained fast-paced, Alex Duncan and the instructors were on hand to guide us to finding and fixing our errors, teaching us how to solve problems while pushing us to embrace new methods necessary for a full stack developer to succeed in the industry. Alex in particular, tenaciously tackled every bug we brought him and with utmost patience showed us how to move forward. With our unexpectedly large group, it was difficult to get detailed feedback on our project code, since most of the mentoring time was used for guided troubleshooting.

Claim Academy was a lot of hard work and amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, they have done their best to make the hybrid program accommodating. Alex was a phenomenal mentor and normally who I (as well as my whole cohort) received a lot of help from. I think... Read More that things could be structured a little better there in terms of organization. Halfway through the course we began to fly through the material with out a reason as 'why' we were doing a lot of things. It would have helped a TON (especially during this point) if the powerpoints explained more and didn't have so many redundancies. This caused a lot of frustration among the class. Overall, it's a good experience and looks good on your resume. Everyone in my cohort was really amazing. I'm hoping that I can use my experience here and jump into the data field. I wish you the best of luck and you can reach me on LinkedIn if you have any questions.
