Wyncode

Wyncode is an incredible program that in just 9 weeks teaches the fundamentals of programming and gives you a strong base in coding so you can keep learning. This program helps not only in your technical skills but also in your business basics. They will... Read More definitely help you land a great job.

As a startup co-founder I wanted to learn how to code and not feel cheated when I talked to developers (just because I did not have an idea what they were talking about). After this course I feel able to code and keep learning to make a better product for my company.

Wyncode, with its disruptive learning environment, throws you headfirst into an intensive and stimulating experience. The staff is supportive and encouraging - especially Walter! He had an amazing presence in our class, always passionate about our learning... Read More and keeping our spirits high.

Wyncode is only a year old, so there is room for some refactoring and rearrangement of the curriculum but overall it was a life changing experience and I met so many amazing, wonderful people along the way.

I recently graduated from a local State University with a marketing and business background. However, I wasn't fulfilled with the work I was doing and realized I wanted to learn new skills and better equipt myself for my professional career. I did my... Read More research and decided to commit to the Wyncode program.

My experience summed up:

Long days/nights writing code
Learning how to learn
Problem solving
Developing Apps
Networking
Immersing myself within the South Florida Tech Community
Getting a Full-Time position before the program ended
Wyncode has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences I've gone through. I had no previous coding experience and was able to obtain my goals. I highly recommend this program to anyone!

It's hard to sum up my experience at Wyncode. It was definitely one of the hardest and most gratifying 9 weeks of my life. Within that short time you will learn the basics and fundementals of web development and more importantly teach yourself how to... Read More continue learning well beyond the program, meeting amazing people all along the way. The pressure to do well is entirely in your hands, though, and that can either drive you, or cripple you. That being said, if you stick to it not giving up when it gets hard, than you will walk away with so much more than you might have expected. It can change the way you live your life.

Great, intensive bootcamp focusing on Ruby on Rails. Felt like I really learned how to code and not just how to code in Ruby. Also great support with interviews and teaches you a lot of the soft skills necissary to succeed.

The instructors are all very... Read More knowlegeable as well as the teaching assistants.

Lastly, it really feels like you are part of a community, one that you will belong to for the rest of your life. Can't say enough good about Wyncode really... it changed my life!

I was in wyncode's 2nd cohort. Going in initially I had only ever been exposed to one html and css course in college years prior. Through wyncode they provided an excellent intro and over all understanding and eliminated the unknown fears of tech. Post... Read More wyncode I was confident enough to know i now had the skills to continue to learn and grow in my skill set. I started in tech staffing and recently got a new job as a developer for another staffing agency where I am in charge of all things tech related. Wyncode without a doubt was a great launching pad into my tech career and is a great family to have for continual support.

Learning how to code is not easy. Quitting my job, moving 200 miles from home, and attending an intensive 9 week bootcamp was the last thing I ever imagined myself doing. I am a 30-something woman with kids, husband, mortgage, the whole shebang and here... Read More I was having what seemed like a midlife crisis. I had a decent job in sales. But it never felt like a career. I felt more and more dread waking up each day. I wanted something better for myself, for my family. But I couldn't see myself going back to school full-time, not while juggling work and family. I wanted to work with technology. I once put together a website with just html and that was fun. I had no idea I could make a living doing it. I researched the hell out of the requirements to be a developer . In my searching found that you didn't need a degree to be taken seriously. Discovered there were bootcamps all over the country that can teach you the skills you need to get a job, and that employers were hiring these people like crazy. Ok, now I was onto something. In searching for local bootcamps I found Wyncode. I read every review, found every article mentioning Wyncode. I applied online. This was the changing point of my life.

Wyncode was everything I expected it be and then some. The material was difficult and fast paced. I wanted it to be. I wanted to be challenged and I was. The lead instructor was amazingly articulate, thoughtful, and rich in knowledge. The TA's were the reason I made it through. They have all been through the class so they know what you are going through. They help you get to the answers without giving you the answer. They help you learn. Most importantly, they help you help yourself. They are there for you the entire time at all hours. They are there to celebrate all the victories, small and large.

From day 1 Wyncode staff are encouraging you to network. There are events on your calendar everyday you just have to choose which ones to go to. Every week a new speaker comes in. They talk about their business, the challenges they faced, what they look for in hiring new developers, what we should be doing to get hired, you name it. You also get a chance to interview with some of the local hiring partners.

It was all super difficult, but also super rewarding. I learned 6 new languages in 9 weeks. One of the most amazing abilities I learned is (also the reason I now have a job as a developer, and I got the offer less then a week after graduating) how to teach myself anything. I am now working for someone who doesn't use the code languages I learned at Wyncode. I am confident in my ability to learn anything and be an asset to any company.

Wyncode is now my family. All the students, staff and TA's are near and dear to me. I look forward to all the events they have. I will be cheering on all the Pitch Days, even if it's from home live on Periscope. I also applied to be a mentor to a lucky person in the next cohort.

I can't thank Wyncode enough for my amazing experience. I will be forever grateful. And it is truly the best feeling going to work every day now loving what I do!

Believe all the hype! After many years as an entrepreneur, I sold my business and applied to Wyncode. Everybody from the lead instructor, Ed, to the campus director, Juliana, really were great and helped with every question that was I asked. This course... Read More is intensive, be prepared to invest all your time here during the cohort. But that will pay off when you have the skills necessary to join the workforce or like me, begin a company from scratch.

When researching development bootcamps across the United States I remember coming across several reviews that said the experience was great, yet lacked a bit of organization from a curriculum standpoint or instructor standpoint. Well, Wyncode was not... Read More great, it was incredible and did not disappoint in any department! Not only was the curriculum great, but the people and instructors were too. At Wyncode you really become part of a community of inspired and highly motivated individuals. I came in unsure of what the program would be like, but it quickly exceeded my expectations. Coming straight out of university with a degree in mathematics, I wanted to learn to code in order to supplement my previous knowledge in statistics and data science. I quickly grew to love coding and (thanks to Wyncode) just one month out of the program I was offered a job where I am now applying both my data/database knowledge and my newfound programming knowledge.

I highly recommend Wyncode to anyone looking to start a career in programming!

As cliche as the title may sound, it holds true for me that Wyncode was a life changing experience. I came in with little to no prior knowledge in coding other than some basic understanding of HTML and CSS (and completing the assigned pre-work once I... Read More was accepted into a cohort).

Wyncode means "bootcamp" in every sense of the word; it is intense and requires a lot of dedication and self-discipline and pretty much all of your time. We had been told by people from previous cohorts that you'd be surprised by how much you know by the end of the first few weeks, halfway into the course, and when you're done. It's true; I didn't see how much of an improvement I made until looking back over the past 2-3 months. I felt imposter syndrome - and still do on occasion - almost all throughout the course and never thought I would be able to find a job in the industry. I recently started working as a jr. web developer at a software company in the area just a few weeks after finishing Wyncode.

In addition to the programming languages and other technical skills, Wyncode teaches you the soft skills that you need not only to become a good developer, but someone who is employable - someone who can communicate clearly and effectively, readily adapt to situations, and be able to work in a team. The last point is especially important, because we had worked in group settings fairly often, whether it was for hackathons, mini projects, and for the final project. The nine weeks that we had spent learning and collaborating together was such a uniquely shared experience; I met several wonderful people who have become great friends.

We've also had several opportunities throughout the nine weeks to attend and even present at networking events to hiring partners and potential employers. I had to force myself out of my comfort zone; it can be pretty nerve racking at times but I enjoyed talking to and learning from developers and others who have been part of the South Florida tech scene for years.

Attend the next open house meeting and reach out to the Wyncode team; everyone is receptive to feedback and incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about what they do!
