"My Part-time Coding Immersion Experience"
Before attending Tech Talent South I had was completely confused as to how to go about learning to code. Of course, like many other newbies transitioning into the programming world, I enrolled in online courses such as Udemy, Udacity, FreeCodecamp, to... Read More
The Code Immersion Course is brutal but necessary. We dove right into coding and learning data structures. My instructor was helpful but firm on each individual learning themselves. One thing that stood out was how he emphasized: "My goal is to teach you how to learn!" I really appreciated that concept because with coding the most important part is learning how to solve everyday programs. The hardest thing was putting aside everything taught in college (particularly thinking analytically) and learning to break things down into more basic instructions that the computer can interpret. Overall, my experience was great...I wouldn't trade it in for the world!
Not to mention, Cassandra, the community organizer has remained very helpful and informative throughout the entire process and still remains a valuable resource!

"I was not disappointed"
I came to the TTS full time code immersion program as an experienced software developer who had been doing other types of work for the past decade. My goal was to acquire an in-depth understanding of the current tools and technologies used in modern web... Read More
I was not disappointed. The content was substantial, the pace was brisk, and both the instructor and the community organizer were amazing. In addition to the excellent subject matter presentation, we visited local tech companies and had a constant stream of speakers involved in some aspect of tech work in our community. The insights gained on these occasions were very helpful in understanding how the components of our curriculum fit into the bigger picture of web development as a whole. I found the information gleaned and contacts made through these activities to be a valuable addition to the program.
The only area in which the curriculum was light was JavaScript, but I understand that time constraints force you to scale down somewhere. Overall I was very pleased with my experience and would recommend TTS highly.

"A whirlwind of knowledge"
I tried teaching myself coding on my own. There are certainly enough resources available online to do so but nothing beats face to face interaction for guidance and motivation. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable and always willing to help. Outside... Read More
The hardest part is the pacing (which I imagine is the case with all coding boot camps). There is so much to learn in such a short period of time and even that is only scratching the surface. There were some nights where I spent more than six hours trying to solve a homework problem and times in class where I felt like I was drowning. But every time I was lost there was someone there help me find the way whether it was the instructor, a TA, or one of my classmates.
Tech Talent South gives you all the tools you need to succeed and as long as you are willing to put in the time and effort you too can experience great success!

"All good things come to an end..."sigh!""
The Code Immersion course definitely met expectations. I came into the course primarily wanting to get back into the proper state of mind as a Developer and also to kickstart the learning process. Both of those were achieved. Although time is constrained... Read More

"Code Immersion Boot Camp - Full Time Asheville"
I was ready for a career change and the opportunity to participate in this boot camp came along at the perfect time. Coding was new to me and totally out of my comfort zone. To say the curriculum was fast paced is an understatement but by the end of the... Read More

"Take the leap!"
After using all of the major websites to teach myself how to code, I was looking for a physical human being to walk me through some of the more difficult concepts. My requirements were that it had to be cost effective, small classes, and close to where... Read More
Another reason why Tech Talent South is worth the money: they won't let you fail. Any time I brought up a concern or something that I was struggling with, TTS had a solution right away. Not grasping a concept? Here's a free month of tutoring. Need help writing a resume? Oh cool, an email from TTS's Resume Expert! Can't pay for the class upfront? Here are some financing options. No matter the difficulty, TTS has your back. It's refreshing.
Our community organizer, Evelyn, is a gem. I'm not sure when she sleeps, because she's always around! She works hard for me and my fellow classmates by posting new jobs in our Slack channel, genuinely connecting with everyone she meets, finding industry professionals to come speak to our class, setting up visits to local companies, and engaging with students on a personal level. She has a solution for everything and I'm proud to call her a friend and mentor.
I don't have the perspective of being in another bootcamp, so I can't compare, but for a 2 month Code Immersion Bootcamp, I'd say it's worth the money. It has laid a great base knowledge for me to grow from and showed me where my strengths, weaknesses, and interests are in the tech field. When I was teaching myself, I had no path. I was just learning random bits of languages that I thought were relevant. Tech Talent South gave me clear direction, and optimism that I can actually make a huge career change!

The course set up was very nice and the curriculum was well thought out for the amount of time that you have. The class location was very functional, a little cramped when we have a full class but not overly cramped. ( I am a big fella so that might have... Read More

"Tech Talent South"
I decided to do the full-time Code Immersion course. At first it was rather overwhelming, so much information at once! After about two weeks things finally started to sink in and really start making sense. The overall curriculum was very well structured... Read More
My choice to attend a boot camp is primarily career motivated. I was looking to change my work situation and I am currently on the job hunt! TTS offers a great job board that is updated weekly and they have a great team of people who actually care about finding you a job. They do a great job of organizing guest speakers, company tours and many other engaging activities that either expose people to new technologies or give them a leg up in the job search.
Overall TTS was a fantastic choice for me. I would recommend any of the classes to anyone looking to either change their career or just increase their knowledge.
