Devmountain

I just finished the full-time immersive web development cohort last month, and my experience at DevMountain was such a huge positive. My wife and I with our two sons sold our house in Phoenix, AZ to come up to Provo so I could do the DevMountain immersive... Read More web program. Being up at DevMountain was awesome. It is such a unique environment with a powerful atmosphere that is centered around learning how to code. I learned so much during those 3 months, typed my fingers to the bone, came out with a bunch of new skills, and was able to kickstart a brand new career as a software engineer. If you have any interest in learning how to code, DevMountain is the best place to learn, would recommend to anyone.

DevMountain is most likely one of the best schools of learning I have ever attended, the days were long and the curriculum challenging. I went from being able to basically navigate the web at the beginning to building my first complete MEAN stack (MongoDB... Read More as the database, Express as the web framework, AngularJS as the frontend framework, and Node.js as the server platform). While the mentors were very knowledgable and available whenever I ran into writing challenging code, their encouragement to first try and find a solution on my own gave me the confidence I needed to feel comfortable solving difficult problems. I felt during the 12-week immersion course that DevMountain’s staff wanted us to succeed and provided ping pong & foosball tournaments, video game challenges in the evenings my favorites were Friday’s breakfast and the free membership to a local recreational center there are way too many other events to list here that helped us to break away from the intense focus on learning code and relax our tired minds. In the end all the hard work and long hours finally started to come together when I completed my first personal and group web projects. DevMountain taught me more than a career the gave lifelong passion, thank you DevMountain.

DevMountain provided a great foundation into the world of coding. The atmosphere was relaxed and generally a fun place to hang around. Twelve weeks went by way too quickly, which is a good thing. This means you are being challenged and learning something... Read More new each and every day. You get out of the course what you put in. I had zero coding experience prior to going through this course, but now I can create web applications in a just a few days that would have taken years if I tried learning on my own. I highly recommend this program if you are looking to break away from your current career path.

I was part of the latest full time web dev cohort (Jan - Mar 2015). We had a great group of students and instructors. Before this I was working in a software company providing product support. I had been trying to learn to code over the past three years... Read More but decided I needed an immersive experience. I can safely say I learned far more in 12 weeks at Devmountain than in the previous 3 years of self study.

I had no previous Javascript experience before Devmountain and now I can build a full stack app (including API endpoints and a database on the backend). They cover front and back end Javascript (namely angularJS on the front end and nodeJS on the backend) so you will have a chance to figure out which area you like more (I prefer back end js).

The building they are in is really cool (its a former candy factory built in the 1800s). There is a ton of space and you can go there any time of day to code (I spent most of my nights coding in the loft).

I highly recommend Devmountain. No matter where you are in terms of education or career it will equip you to build something useful

I just finished up the immersive web development course last week and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The course was very challenging, and there was no shortage of frustration while learning, but talk to ANYONE with... Read More coding experience and they will say that it's a necessary evil. I can't believe how much I learned in a quick 3 months. Comparing my skill set before and after the cohort is a joke! All the hard work most definitely payed off. I can't stress enough how awesome the DevMountain experience was, go for it!

Like the title of my review says, attending DevMountain was the best decision I've made for my professional development. Just before applying DevMountain, I had tried to learn through Codeacademy, Treehouse, and MIT online courses, but I felt overwhelmed... Read More by the sheer volume of information out there with everybody suggesting I learn this language or that framework. I didn't know what to do.

My friend suggested that I look into attending a coding bootcamp, and after comparing several different ones, I picked DevMountain. I liked that they offered a curriculum that taught the MEAN stack. I also liked that they boasted a high job placement rate at a LOW cost. I don't think there's anywhere else in the country that includes housing in the cost of tuition.

The instructors at DevMountain were awesome, and the mentors provided excellent support. DevMountain not only how to build web application, but how to continue learning throughout my career. I recommend DevMountain to anybody who is passionate about learning and loves a good challenge.
