Devmountain

I had a hard time deciding on whether I should do a bootcamp or not. I had seen my brother in law excel in his career as a web developer and had talked his ear off about getting into the field. I finally decided a bootcamp would be the best thing for... Read More me. When I actually started researching bootcamp options, DevMountain was by far the best option. Their outcomes, curriculum, and free housing stood out to me.

I have now finished their web development program. I put in a ton of work. But I am happy to say I have 3 job offers, and I am literally talking with my brother in law about which one I should take as I type this. I think even he is impressed with my progress over the last 3 months.

I would definitely recommend DevMountain!

I attended the DevMountain web dev bootcamp from August 2016 - November 2016. It has been one of the hardest and best learning experiences in my life. Spending 10+hours day in and day out just learning and loving to code has made such a big difference... Read More in my life. I'm the type of person that couldn't stick with one major in college, and ended up spending 5 years on just as many majors, and never getting close enough with any of them to actually graduate. When I was, for the third or fourth time, working a job that I was frustrated with, I made the decision to try the bootcamp. After lots of research I decided to go with DevMountain. The tuition, free housing, and high employment stats made the decision pretty easy for me.

My time at DevMountain was spent fully immersed in code. Instructors would teach us for a few hours each day, and then we would apply what we've learned with a daily project. Its a clear recipe for success, if you want something to stick, you have to work at it and practice. None of this felt like traditional schooling, there's no grades, there's no one making sure you're doing what you are supposed to be doing. Because the students who work the hardest and put in the extra time always stand out. And they let us decide for ourselves how much work we were willing to put into our learning.

After graduating, I was able to get a job as a mentor (think TA in college) with them, and have been learning more and more everyday from knowledgable, excited, and fun coworkers. All in all, this has been a great experience, and I recommend to everyone I come across that if they're looking for a life change, give DevMountain a shot. I know it won't disappoint you.

My Dev Mountain story began in October of 2016 when I applied. At that time I was teaching myself to code in javascript and working full time at Walmart supporting my family. I knew I wanted to write code for a living so I talked it over with my family... Read More and we decided I should give it my best shot. I did my research on which boot camp I would attend. I got a few together that I liked and laid out the pros and cons of each. I knew working at Walmart I wouldn't be able to afford the $20,000 of some tuitions, so that got rid of those. My next issue was with housing. I lived in a small mountain town in California far away from any tech hubs. So via the process of elimination Dev Mountain became the clear choice.

I ended up attending in January of 2017 rent free. There were about 6 of us that lived in the building. We would stay up way past bedtime coding and singing horribly long into the night. We would learn new things every day, delving into the depths of SQL, react, angular, CSS, and of course Javascript. No matter how much they teach you nothing can prepare you for those projects. I tackled a social media website for my project and let's just say I didn't finish during the allotted time. I feel the personal projects are where I learned the most because I had to go out and figure things out for myself.

the last week of class we had a career fair. Dev Mountain brought in a few big and small companies. It was actually with one of these companies that I ended up working for. I thought I would score a job as a web developer but after demonstrating my abilities to code and problem solve my company offered me a job as a Software Engineer. I am currently happily employed and making a lot more a year than I was at Walmart.

That's pretty much my story. Catch me on LinkedIn if you want to tell me how bad my grammar and spelling are or just have any questions about my experience. Peace!

Sometimes it is hard to trust reviews, but I came to this site before I went to DevMountain and I honestly think the good reviews about DevMountain on here are true.

I went through the DevMountain web dev program and it was by far the best educational... Read More experience I have ever had. Everyone I went through the program with along with all of the instructors and staff members went above and beyond to make the program the best. Highly reccommend it.

It was a rigorous 12 weeks and took a good deal of preparation leading up to it but overall it was definitely worth it.

I would suggest counting on putting in a ton of hard work, because you get what you put in. I am now working at an awesome startup company and I owe it all to DevMountain.

My experience with DevMountain was remarkable. During the application process they were so responsive and answered every one of my questions. Much better than any other Bootcamp I spoke with.

During class I felt like their whole team from instructors,... Read More to counselors, to mentors, to interns cared and helped in every aspect. Their job and success staff gave tremendous assistance. I can not thank my mentors and instructors enough.

A bootcamp is no easy task. In fact, it was very difficult but everyone at DevMountain was so reassuring. From the first day of learning git up til the last day during group and personal projects, I felt super comfortable learning there.

I did a ton of research before choosing a bootcamp, and even fact-checked some of the things DevMountain was saying. I was pretty impressed through out the whole process and highly recommend the school!

Attending DevMountain was such a great experience. The instructors were super helpful and the atomosphere had such a great vibe. You literally eat, sleep and breathe code. I loved how I had 24/7 access to the campus. So on nights when I couldn't sleep... Read More (which was many) it was nice being able to head over to the campus and get to work. The teaching style at DevMountain is super hands-on and always having a mentor around was awesome because I had A LOT of questions! All in all, my only regret was that I didn't sign up sooner. I sat on this decision way too long and now realize how much time I've lost!

After my second year of college, I decided it wasn't right for me. For quite some time before that, I had been looking into many different bootcamps in my area. I knew that I wanted to be a developer and didn't want to keep spending a fortune on college.... Read More After months of research, I decided to pull the trigger on DevMountain. I attended their Provo campus and was amazed at how fun learning could be. Everybody around me was working super hard, but at the same time having a lot of fun while doing it. I had a better social experience in my 3 months at DevMountain than my 2 years at college.

Fast forward to 2 months later, I just landed my first job as a Junior Developer making a great income and absolutely loving my job. Jeremy (the lead teacher) was such an awesome instructor and mentor to me, I couldn't be more happy with my experience at DevMountain. 5 stars!

This program has been so amazing! I'm half way through, and learning so so so much. I am already going to hiring events and getting my name out there. And i am building my portfolio as i go. This program is hard work. And stressful. But, i couldn't be... Read More more grateful for my time here so far!
