devCodeCamp

I recently graduated and I'm glad I decided to go here. I had some basic programming experience before I came in so it made the first couple weeks easier but there is always extra things you can work on if you finish the current task early. You arent... Read More going to be sitting in lectures all day, instead the majority of your time will be actively working on projects which I greatly prefer. The instructors are really kind and helpful, you can ask for help at any time no problem even after hours on slack they will help you. Paul makes it very clear before you join that this will be hard work, its called a bootcamp for a reason but if you enjoy it its fun work. Overall if you enjoy coding this is a great choice to get the skills you need to become a Junior Developer.

As with any boot camp it’s intense fast paced and difficult. Especially if you have no prior experience. The overall material they teach is great covering JavaScript, CSS, C#, and ASP .NET. The instructors are very very knowledgeable and available at... Read More all times even on weekends. I did struggle with the material and felt like giving up many times but I went to the instructors and they give some really supportive feedback and encouragement.

The course is not easy especially if you have no prior programming experience. It's a rough 12 weeks, 7 AM - 4 PM, and sometimes 5 PM. You got weekend off but oftentimes, you'll end up using it up for self study or your project. It's grueling work and... Read More many times, you want to quit, but keep on pushing, one step at a time -- always moving forward, even a little. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful, even after class. People in the class come from different walks of life; some will know more than you and some less, so don't compare yourself to others, but to a set standard set by the course. You are graded (not on a curve) and need at least 80% to graduate. If you don't graduate on time, you're allowed to resubmit assignments and projects. The object of the course isn't to fail you but to get you to a level of competency. After you graduate, the course coordinator will help and guide you in your search for a job. Overall I highly recommend the course for highly motivated individuals who want a new career or career change. My final advice is that if you can, take a month or two to study C# and possibly JavaScript, time permitting, and that'll make your DevCodeCamp experience a lot smoother.

Great team! Right away you are taught how to think like a software developer. They provide a collaborative arena constructed to replicate a real-world software development environment.

I was lucky that a friend connected me to devCode when I was looking for a career change. From my first visit, the staff were honest about the expectations of students; they told me it was going to be challenging work. I came into the course with a mindset... Read More that I would need to dedicate myself to the work. Throughout the process, I was given the challenging work I was promised. I was able to do the work because of the instructors that are literally available day and night to help when you get stuck. Students have constant access to qualified instructors (who love what they do) during the day, and then are able to use Slack to connect with them after hours. One of the best parts of this camp is the director of curriculum. As a former teacher, I know good instruction when I see it. He uses best practices consistently in his planning. Everything is organized, the lectures do not shy away from giving the theory behind concepts, and the projects are carefully planned. In addition, I received quick and beneficial feedback on every project I completed. With this skill set and having proved that I can create fully functioning web applications in just 3 months, I feel confident going into my first career. I should add, there are excellent career services for grads. There is a full time former recruiter who knows the hiring landscape incredibly well. If you go to this school, you will have a team of people helping you to find your first job and beyond. If you’ve been looking for a bootcamp, I can’t imagine a better place to start a new career.

This bootcamp was a great way to learn how to start coding in a few different types of coding languages. It was fast paced, but it helps you prepare for the real world when you have a career in the web development world. It was very project based which... Read More helped a lot. The projects helped you learn how the certain type of coding language works. There were group projects and this helped you learn how to code a project as a team. The group projects helped you learn to work as a team. After you complete the 12 weeks, they help you find a job which is a great aspect. Overall, this coding bootcamp was worth it.

The bootcamp is designed in a way to be for both beginners and more experienced individuals. Everyone can have a different starting point. The first topics covered are HTML and CSS which for some can be all new material but for others a refresher. The... Read More curriculum ramps up quickly as it moves to Javascript where the first few projects take place. Within a few weeks in everyone seems to level off equality due to the assignments, projects, and tasks start becoming more challenging but they are still great to learn from and are manageable if the effort is put in. From there on once good fundamentals are engraved into the students there is yet more technologies to learn such as C#, ASP.NET MVC 5, Entity Framework, Bootstrap, which was quite impressive considering that the technology stack learned was actually what the companies in the area were looking for and needing. From the research that I did prior to choosing this bootcamp this was one of the only bootcamps that prioritized a relevant technology stack rather than purely something easier to learn which really helps when searching for a job position. Within a day of posting my resume online, I had interviews which I give credit to the technologies covered within the bootcamp. Amazing experience to go through, the instructors were phenomenal and were able to teach so effectively in the short amount of time they are given.
