The instructors have real experiences in software induysttry... Read More and provide a vast range of experiences and teach styles.

I am delighted to announce my successful completion of the software coding bootcamp at Skill Distillery, where I immersed myself in 75% Java and 25% Angular. Entering the program with the goal of becoming a proficient Java developer, I can proudly say... Read More that, four months later, I have achieved that objective. Not only can I now program fundamental Java to construct console-based applications, but I have also gained the skills to develop more sophisticated server-side applications that interact with databases and interface with clients. One of the most valuable aspects of the curriculum was learning how to retrieve data from databases and use Java for business logic to display information on a browser, thanks to the powerful Angular framework. Overall, I gained much more from the course than I had initially anticipated. Reflecting on my journey, I realize that I had contemplated taking this course for several years but always found reasons to procrastinate. In hindsight, I wish I had taken the leap sooner. If you are like me, on the fence about making a mega life change for the betterment of your life, don't be on the fence speculating if the course will deliver.. It will deliver and more!! You just need to flip that switch in your mind and make the decision to enroll and begin doing the pre-work. During the four months of the course, I made a conscious decision to clear my schedule entirely (you will too!), foregoing other commitments such as part-time work and other activities. Looking back, I am grateful for this decision, as the course demanded my full dedication and focus. As for my job search, they polished up my resume and I was able to begin the job hunt early and I am now employed as a Software Engineer. Pros: Though the course presented significant challenges, there were moments when it felt overwhelmingly difficult, and I found myself completely lost. However, one of the greatest advantages of Skill Distillery is the unlimited support available from instructors and support staff. Their willingness to address any number of questions until concepts were fully understood was invaluable. The curriculum's organization and format surpassed that of traditional education. Each session consisted of a lecture followed by a practical lab, fostering an effective learning environment. This format ensured immediate application of newly acquired knowledge, enhancing comprehension and retention. Furthermore, the projects undertaken during the course not only served as learning tools but also contributed to the development of a robust professional portfolio. This integration of practical projects into the curriculum provided tangible evidence of skill acquisition and readiness for the workforce. Cons: I have no criticisms of the curriculum in the course. If I were to offer one suggestion, it would be to consider offering in-person training alongside the virtual format. While the virtual classes did not hinder my learning, the intensity of the course would benefit from in-person interaction. Sharing the challenges and collaborating in person would enhance the experience, especially considering the rigorous nature of the program. While the profession may lean towards remote work, the course is akin to nurturing a growing process, and in-person interaction could alleviate some growing pains.

The Java Full-Stack course that Skill Distillery offers is absolutely fantastic. I learned so much in a short 16 weeks and came out of the course feeling well prepared for the next stage of my life.

As someone with zero prior experience or background in coding or full-stack programming this 16 week program has instilled in me wealth of knowledge and practical experience.
