devCodeCamp

Participating in devCodeCamp’s 12-week Full-Stack Engineering bootcamp was truly career changing! I became proficient in Python, React.js, Django, MySQL, API architecture, GitHub, Postman, and Axios. I was also exposed to .NET, C#, HTML, CSS, Reportlab,... Read More and Agile & Scrum methodologies. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helped guide me every step of the way, especially during our 10-day sprint capstone project. I also loved working on the following projects: YouTube clone, Video Game Analytics Visualizations, and a Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock Game (for all you Big Bang Theory fans out there!)

Last year at this time I was working as a receptionist looking thinking that I wanted to do something different than that. I looked into programming and thought to myself that it would be something I could really enjoy doing long term. I came across devCodeCamp... Read More (DCC) and the Full Stack Development program and decided to invest in my future. As a complete beginner in programming, I was nervous at first going into the class. After the first week of class, and great instruction, I got super comfortable and got even more excited to learn new skills. Fast forward 6 months, having learned Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, Django, GitHub, Visual Studio Code, and so much more; I am super excited to start my career as a Developer! After it was all done, DCC's career services and their talented team of professionals, started to guide me with resume workshops, and LinkedIn building. And on top of all the personal help, they give you getting you ready for the career field, they have the job and talent network to back it up.

My experience with devCodeCamp (DCC) began when I was initially researching my options for a career change from the military and I was interested in learning programming. DCC stood out to me right from the get go due to their awesome outreach, as soon... Read More as I sent an email I was able to contact enrollment and I was speaking to someone the very next day about what I could expect from DCC. Researching the right coding bootcamp was an intensive experience, but DCC made selecting the right coding bootcamp easy. Beginning class was a painless experience. They give you study materials a weeks in advance of the first day so that you can get a basic understanding of the fundamentals you'll be using on your first day. The instructors were extremely down to Earth and very easy to interact with. Lessons were well structured and I never felt overwhelmed as long as I followed instructions and payed attention in class. If I did fall into a rut, instructors were readily available and happy to help. Everyone in the class was easy to get a long with and that made group projects easy to integrate into. After it was all done, DCC's career services took over, and they are an incredibly talented team of professionals. Resume workshops, mock interviews, and LinkedIn building, no punches were pulled in their post graduation program. And on top of all the personal help they give you getting you ready for the career field, they have the job and talent network to back it up. I learned a lot at DCC, before I started I thought python was simply a snake, but now I can speak its language in lines of code. DCC was exactly what I was looking for in a program that got me work-ready for a career change in as little as 4 months. I can't wait to apply the skills I learned from DCC.

I've had a varied professional experience in life. I am a veteran of the US Navy where I was an Arabic Language Analyst, have a bachelor's in music composition, and worked as a geo-location operator for the NSA. I've always had a great interest in building... Read More creative, logical structures (musical or otherwise), technology, and languages. I am excited to start a career in software development because I believe it's in my wheelhouse, it's expanding more and more, and there is great upward mobility. I started DevCodeCamp with spotty experience in programming. I had learned things off and on for a couple years before. We immediately went straight into making functional projects. It wasn't just "hello, world" and small, simple exercises without much meaning. I was very pleased how quickly we moved into bigger and bigger projects and how all of us actually learned enough to complete them! We would get lectures on the technologies we used and then be given project assignments. While we worked, the instructors were available to help us with any questions or issues we were having so that we could learn like it was on-the-job. In my particular class, all the students were dedicated to helping each other out during and after class hours ended (we all started a discord server to talk to each other after class). I couldn't have done it without the instructors, but also my fellow students. Everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful. Because of the support from all sides, we all passed the course with flying colors. The curriculum was quite comprehensive. I am happy we were able to cover so much ground. We learned Python, Django, Django REST Framework MySQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, react, Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Docker, Postman, AWS, DevOps, CI/CD Pipeline, Web Services & REST API, Visual Studio Code, and JSON web tokens. I'm very confident that the experience I gained has prepared me for a junior software developing position. I can't wait to keep honing my skills, learning new technologies, and put my experience to the test!

Hello, I am a recent graduate of devCodeCamp's full-stack development course. I come from a background of knowing very little code to now having the confidence to build a website. I thought only people with degrees in computer science could do it, but... Read More that was not the case. we started the course with python and learned basics such as variables, conditionals, functions, etc. I think devCodeCamp does a good job of explaining these concepts to a beginner. The curriculum is well taught, instructors are willing to support students when needed, and I had great supportive classmates. I am currently working with career services and it has been well structured for new graduates to build out a resume, a tech hire bio, and a Linked In account. I learned a bunch of technologies from dCC first with Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, Django, GitHub, Visual Studio Code, DevOps, and so much more. I am excited to continue improving upon these new skills that I have acquired.

My passion for coding began when I started my own videography company. I was starting to create my website when I began to wonder what went into making a website versus using a website builder online. I quickly went online to see what I could learn about... Read More it which led me to my first coding experience and that was making my own personal resume with HTML and CSS. This eventually led me to set aside my business as a hobby and pursue my career in coding through DevCodeCamp. I was very pleased with the way we just jumped right into coding. With only a little coding experience I thought the instructors did a very good job at explaining things right off the start and I was instantly learning things. We didn't have to sit through days of lectures before we were coding we just jumped right into within the first half of the first day. By the end of the first we we were given our first project. I was very happy with how fast we jumped to bigger and better projects. It was very exciting watching them progress as we kept learning new things and made me love it even more. We learned so many things I was very impressed, we learned Python, Django, Django REST Framework MySQL, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, react, Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Docker, Postman, AWS, DevOps, CI/CD Pipeline, Web Services & REST API, Visual Studio Code, and JSON web tokens. After completing DevCodeCamp I am excited to see what my next big learning adventure will be.

As a young, inexperienced programmer, I entered into devCodeCamp, with minimal prior experience, but a broad foundational knowledge of concepts. I partook in the Web Development course and the beginning days were focused on building a strong base. It... Read More picked up quickly and took on a fast paced nature that persisted throughout the entirety of the course. The instructors for class were well-balanced between guiding and not just giving you the solution outright to the problem at hand. The curriculum was well documented and a large part of why I chose this bootcamp in particular. I had only minor issues with how some of the information was introduced and upon completion, when I brought these concerns up, I was assured that they agreed and had already implemented change to rectify the situation. Overall, a very intimate learning experience with a group that feels natural, and close knit from admissions, to instructors, to classmates, all the way to career services, which is extremely knowledgeable and guiding.

I am a recent graduate of devCodeCamp's full stack development course. They took my passion for code and drive to learn and turned it into a real career choice for me. I have always wanted to learn to code and break into the software development world... Read More and devCodeCamp made that dream a reality for me. I can now design and write full stack applications and I could not be more proud of myself for what I have accomplished here. If you want to learn to code, this is the home for you. The staff were all super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and contact them, even if it is just for information.

With absolutely no prior experience in code or the Software Development field, I took a huge risk leaving my full time job to become a full time student. devCodeCamp is not easy, the courses and instructors push you, sometimes beyond your limits, to do... Read More the best work you can and learn / retain all of this new information. After the 14 week program I can say I a proud graduate I am glad I took that leap and am so excited to see where I end up in the future with Software Development and devCodeCamp as my roots.

Just last year I was a full-time pharmacist. I took a leap of faith to pursue my passion for software development. My time at devCodeCamp has been wonderful. The instructors made it fun and easy to learn, while providing priceless tips and support along... Read More the way. The curriculum allowed me to become proficient in working individually as well as with teams. From knowing nothing about coding to becoming confident in my Python, JavaScript, React.js and other skills I have never doubted the utility of this bootcamp. After graduation, Lauren and Paul at Career Services made it very clear they are here to help me with my job search journey and I am so glad to have them by my side. After all that I have learned, I am excited for how the foundation that the instructors gave me and the help of Career Services will allow me to find a job that will grow my skills going forward.
