Wyncode

There are a lot of ways to learn how to code. But all of them, even the best bootcamps in the country, fail to offer what Wyncode gives its students. Wyncode is not just a 10 hour day of coding everyday for 3 months. It is more than a stellar computer... Read More science and full -stack web development curriculum. To analyze it by the technical skills and education it provides for its students is to compare it with every other bootcamp out there. And Wyncode wins that comparison heartily in almost every case. But alas it is a comparison of Apples and Oranges - because Wyncode offers so much more than any other comparable programming course. Jo and Juha hand you the keys to the kingdom of Miami Tech. The intangible value of exposure to industry leaders in the local ecosystem, the stand-alone value of Hiring Partners that come in and actively interview participants while still in the course, the deep entrenchment in not just the methods and workflows of becoming a great developer, but becoming a hirable new face in the local tech scene.

Wyncode is so committed to getting every single one of there students placed and working that it is almost uncanny. So much so, that in my class, 5 out of 20 of us had job offers before the program was even over. That’s literally a 20% placement rate BEFORE graduation. I was hired before I even graduated. And the near 100% post-grad placement rate speaks for itself. That’s all because of the incredible amount of work they put in to make sure you are successful long after program ends. Wyncode will teach you how to code, there is no doubt there. You will be a Junior Rails Dev by the time your nine weeks is over. But it will also teach you how to develop in an Agile/Scrum organization, how to ace an interview, how to be a truly business savvy developer, and will enable you to build relationships that lead to future opportunities.

Wyncode is a leading institution in the Miami tech scene with an amazing group of people standing behind it, and the opportunities afforded to Wyncode students can be found at nowhere else that I've looked. From one on one time with amazing Teaching Assistants to group programming sessions with industry leading Senior Devs - all the way to angel investor guest speakers and interviews with the top local tech companies - Wyncode will get you where you want to be. You just have to put the work in, and you'll see the results sooner than you think.

If you're serious about taking this step - a leap into a new direction in life - becoming a developer in South Florida - there could be no better place to do it.

My experience at Wyncode has been nothing but positive. The program prepares you for a career as a full-stack web developer, specializing in some of the most popular technologies being used today. The staff is incredible and highly supportive and the... Read More instruction is unmatched. This program is directed towards individuals that are serious about making big changes in their lives and are willing to work hard to accomplish them. Overall this life-changing experience has opened many doors for me since I completed it.

1 year perspective of an Alumni and Teaching Assistant of Wyncode Academy

I could go on about the positives and negatives of Wyncode, but the 5 stars and positive words mean next to nothing when it comes to what it is that Wyncode has provided to me and... Read More many others that I have seen go through this course.

What did I see Wyncode as before I enrolled?

I had no coding experience - I was a chef. I've always had aspirations to do a lot, however I had not means to achieve anything. When I first heard of Wyncode I saw it as an opportunity to learn a skill set that I can create my own opportunities from.

What was Wyncode as a Student?

Every day was 100%, this was Wyncode's 1st cohort and I had no idea what to expect as far as structure and ability to learn from the curriculum; I saw this as an opportunity to use the resources around me and never get my mind off of my goal. As the course went on I never had a shortage of resources, Bryce and Ed were my go-to beacons for all knowledge. And When I didn't understand some code they wrote I was never afraid of asking them to explain, and they always did with very precise detail. But at the end I only got as much as I did from the course because I gave it my every being - Wyncode was my life for 9 weeks, no social life, no school, no work, just code.

What was Wyncode as an Alumni?

A new family. Now this is the really corny part - but it's true, you'll hear it time and time again. This is a bootcamp, we've all be through it, we all know what it's like, we help eachother out. The Wyncode Alumni network is massive and it's only increasing in size, most of the tech companies I know of have a student I've met through Wyncode.

What was Wyncode as a Teaching Assistant?

I've spent most of my time at Wyncode as a teaching assistant, first as a part time TA and then a few cohorts later as a full time Lead Teaching Assistant.

From the end of the first cohort Johanna and Juha asked me what I wanted to do after the cohort ended (job wise), and everytime I would persistantly tell them I wanted to be part of Wyncode. I fell in love with their vision and the tools that were given to me, I knew I had the skills to be able to teach students all that I had learned.

I had helped teach cohorts 2-5, and from that time range I noticed an extreme change in Wyncode's structure and curriculum. Because the staff believes so much in Wyncode's vision they constantly have improvement in mind - "What are we missing from the curriculum", "How can we teach more effectively", "What can we do for students falling behind", "What are hiring partners looking for".

Conclusion aka TL;DR

To re-state the title of this review "The start to an entire new chapter", before Wyncode I was a part time student at MDC and a full time chef and did not enjoy what I was doing - I was always frustrated and tired.

Now I am a full stack developer - my only limit is how much I am willing to push myself to grow, I don't need a 4year degree to show my skill, my work and my knowledge speak for me.

If you are driven, and if you are ready to change what you do - enroll for Wyncode.

If you enroll for Wyncode, be ready to give it everything. Throughout my year of involvement at Wyncode I've seen so many students come though and the ones who have done well are those who made those 9 weeks their life.

You can't make excuses, the results speak for themselves.

Enroll, get prepared, put in everything, carve your own path in life.

First of all I would like to state that these reviews are in fact from wyncode Grads & Alumni (just because it is the first thing I would wonder if I was a perspective student reading this) and anyone can feel free to reach out to me at Jackbgraham2@gmail.com... Read More with questions. Wyncode came by extremely honest with what I would be taught and how I would move forward afterwords. On top of personally and carefully seeing each one of the students through the actual course, they also continued to offer a tremendous ammount of both technical and personal support after we graduated. I would and have definitely suggest any Wyncode source to anyone intelligent and driven enough to complete it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and its instructors. The instructors were all extremely knowledgable, quick to offer a helping hand, very good at correcting my mistakes while simultaneously teaching me how to avoid such mistakes in the future, and often... Read More went above and beyond their responsibilities (many very late nights) to ensure that students were comprehending all of the material taught. There was also a thoughtful and purposeful degree of self-study required, as will be necessary when I enter the workplace. The guest lectures were directly-relevant to the current tech environment, and helped me to understand technology and its applications as seen from a variety of viewpoints (CEOs, investors, etc). The pass to the eMerge conference was also beneficial as it provided me with many great networking opportunities, the opportunity to observe first-hand the current tech field and its future iterations, and the chance to meet many potential future employeers.

The 9-week program was appropriately rigorous and required a lot of hard work, which is to be expected. I entered the program with no prior coding experience and leave confident in my abilities to perform in a junior development position for any company. I have learned a variety of programming languages, and looking forward to continuing to learn as the programming field continuously grows. I would like to personally thank the staff of Wyncode for providing for me in 9 weeks (and at a fraction of the cost) what my traditional 4-year degree failed to provide for me, namely, direct and relevant training for employment in a field that is expanding daily.

I made a really tough decision to drop everything I was doing in life and take a chance on Wyncode. I'm glad I made that choice and I can proudly say that I am a web developer being hired before even finishing the course. I had a great experience at wyncode.... Read More They had great course material and the instructors and staff were amazing. It's a tough nine weeks but if you stick with it you will learn how to do some amazing things.

Wyncode is the sort of experience that changes people. We are not the same when we leave as when we entered. In just 9 weeks time Wyncode will give you the skills to be a truly valuable member of any development team, or even to go off and create your... Read More own path. From a solid curriculum to tireless efforts at job placement, Wyncode does it all, but what is most valuable is their commitment to the people that come through their doors.

Besides knowing how to embed custom music-players back in the early-MySpace days, I had zero experience with code. I feel more accomplished right now than when I graduated from FIU (Florida International University) with my B.A. In today's world, it feels... Read More like getting a degree from a college that isn't in the top 20 is subpar. A lot of people are growing increasingly desensitized to these pieces of paper. I personally hide mine because, to me, it's a reminder of how lazy and unmotivated I was to get the thing. What Wyncode has done for each of their students (especially me) is give them something to feel proud about. Something to feel good about. Something to talk about. Wyncode is yielding clear and concise results indicating that unbundling education isn't the future, it's the present! We're at the forefront of it all with Wyncode in South Florida, and it couldn't have been more of an honor to be one of the first students to go through this life altering program. I'm excited to see what the future holds for all of us, and I hope to make the Miami Tech community (and Wyncode) proud one day. I recieved 3 job offers within the first week after the course. I'm in a unique position, and for the first time in my life I feel like an asset to a company (let alone three companies.)

I couldn't be more thankful to the amazing people at Wyncode for providing me with the tools to change my life. Shout out to Ed, Jo, Juha, Diego, Frank, Walter, and Bryce. #WYNNING

Wyncode may seem intimidating for those staring into it from the front gates, but as an Alum, take it from me: "Wyncode Produces Quality Programmers."

In a very short amount of time, less than a typical SINGLE class (9 Weeks) ANYONE can learn the true... Read More fundamentals of coding, and what it takes to make a career of it. Wyncode accelerated everything about me. My business expertise, my coding knowledge (Troubleshooting Knowledge), and my own character development. Its truly amazing that in such a short amount of time, a program exists that can put you in a whole new world, where you are truly capable of calling the shots. The empowerment of having options and skills that are desired and believe me... THEY ARE DESIRED.

Before Wyncode I was in an IT career fixing computers, which I enjoyed and solved problems, but it was not self-fulfilling and the environment itself I was not a fan of. From the pitch day of the previous Wyncode I knew I wanted to be a part of what was... Read More going on in Miami. Once I started at Wyncode I knew I wasn't looking back.

The Wyncode program is very daunting while the course is in progress. But, it's like that for a reason. All the stress you're put under to learn and build all at the same time is done so that you can show what you can create once you dig deep. This isn't for everyone, you must be determined, and you must love to code.

I have nothing but great things to say about Wyncode. The staff, the alumni, everyone apart of Wyncode is a part of one big family, and everyone is always eager to help if you have a problem. It really is something to completely change your life for the better. Wyncode will immerse you in a new enviornment that only leaves room for you to prosper.
