Flatiron School

Flatiron bootcamp prep is both challenging and motivating. They really take pride in teaching future engineers. I even learned a thing or two from my technical interview. I am excited to be part of the Oct 29 cohort. As a former charter school teacher,... Read More I am not at all afraid of hard work and am excited to help fix and build things.

I've been taking dev courses here and there but was getting nowhere without consistent practice. Then I decided to get serious and took Flatiron School Bootcamp - online program. I was a bit skeptical, to be honest. But decided to go with it because it... Read More was month-to-month and I could cancel any month. Soon enough I was writing my first project from scratch. I think Flatiron has a very strong curriculum. It is built in a smart way of pushing you towards learning how to learn in the first place. I would totally recommend checking it out, especially since they have free prep-course to get a feel of the learning platform. Another big plus is career support at the end.

The prep work is a great introduction into Python because it's segmented by topics, and those topics are segmented to give your brain a break. And it's nice that all the topics build upon one another. For those coming from a not-so-technical background,... Read More this prep work is great because they explain the math concepts very well. And for those coming from a math background and/or little coding background this prep work is definitely doable and maybe even easy for you!

I would suggest that the prep work be edited a bit - towards the end I found a couple of small errors that might confuse the person taking the prep work.

Having no Python experience and little coding history, I was nervous when I found out about the technical interview portion of the Immersive Data Science Bootcamp application process. With the help of the Bootcamp Prep Course, however, I had a boost of... Read More confidence and felt fully prepared for the interview. The material on Learn.co is comprehensive and interactive. Every concept introduced is accompanied by various examples, as well as a lab activity, which provides students the chance to apply these concepts. With the help of lab activities, I gained a better sense of topics I had mastered and of areas where there was still room for improvement. Whether planning on attending the Immersive Data Science Bootcamp or simply wanting an introduction to Python, I would highly recommend Flatiron School's Bootcamp Prep Course.

I went to Flatiron immersive software engineering course. The bootcamp experience has changed my life in a lot of ways already. It's powerful knowledge. Most of the time at Flatiron you are building apps from scratch on teams, which is a great way to... Read More learn. You'll be expected to do a lot of work on your own as well. However, don't expect to be an expert after a bootcamp. There's always more to learn and you will be humbled every step of the way. In terms of the curriculum, the Ruby on Rails section is strong but the React labs were very buggy when I took the course. They're working on making it better but it will take a while. One of the biggest advantages of flatiron compared to other schools is the amazing career team. Flatiron has the best career team of any bootcamp by a large margin. They pair you with your own coach who meets with you weekly and responds promptly to all your emails. My coach made my resume and linkedin 10x better, conducted mock interviews, and gave me excellent advice on how to do well in interviews.

The rest of the career team matched me with tons of great interviews at quality companies. I received a job offer about a month and a half after I started my search.

i found the prep very engaging and fun, however some parts need a little work, like the IDE sometimes does not work perfectly. some of the online coaches are hit or miss. overall though, the prep is the reason i applied and am going to go to the flatiron... Read More school
