Wyncode

Wyncode completely changed my life. Everything from the faculty to the curriculum to the work space provided is essential to the program's success. I would recommend the class to anyone looking to get into the south Florida tech industry because you will... Read More become completely immersed into it.

I have experience in Marketing and Sales and decided to leave my job and join a coding bootcamp. I was looking to move more into the tech scene and felt this would be a good way. Coming from zero technical experience or knowledge I was nervous and did... Read More not know what to expect. The location of Wyncode is in the heart of the design district and perfect to host a bootcamp. The teaching and management staff at Wyncode is wonderful and makes you feel at ease the moment you arrived until the end. I learned more than I ever have in these nine weeks and it was truly life changing. It will be the most challenging nine weeks you will experience but worth the time if you want a career in tech. Go for it!

After two long years of computer engineering and zero lines of code written i decided to make one of the best decisions of my life and i joined Wyncode.
I know that right now you're probably thinking the program is too expensive or that is not gonna work,... Read More I was in your place and i know its a very big decision but let me tell you that it is worth every single penny. Wyncode is gonna give you the tools you need to become a developer and get that job that you always wanted.

The part that I love the most is the culture, it is something different and amazing, everyone is eager to learn and help each other from your classmates to the instructors. By the end of the course you will be part of an amazing family that is constantly growing, giving you great friends and connections all over the place. It's hard to come out with the exact words to describe the excitement and gratitude for Wyncode, but one thing I am 100% sure is that i would do it again.

When I decided I wanted a career in technology I was really considering my options. I always considered myself as a great self learner and I was not opposed burning through a few books and work on a few projects and hope to someday find someone to higher... Read More me. I also considered a formal CS degree, but that takes a lot more resources. When I heard about Wyncode I was immediately intrigued by the idea. The curriculum is very well thought out and very well delivered. The Wyncode team gives you all the resources +more for you to give you the best education experience. The team is 110% committed to your success and even takes the time to listen to you tell them how to do their job better.

Even after you're through with the classes your experience is not over. They have the best Job assistance you could ask for. I was able land my first Job 3 weeks after my last class. As many of the other Wyncoders will tell you, it was the best thing to happen to my career. Nothing can replace the network of people I've developed by becoming a part of the Wyncode family.

Wyncode is a great place to immerse yourself and have a great team of dedicated people helping you, even after finishing your cohort. I was lucky enough to be part of the first cohort and it was a great experience.

I was not planning on becoming a developer... Read More after I finished Wyncode. So for three months after Wyncode I was working at my old job. When I decided to become a full-time developer, Wyncode helped me find a job, which was great.

The curriculum has expanded since the first cohort and it has changed as per the request of the hiring partners. I am aware of this because my wife was part of one of the later cohorts.

Wyncode helps anybody that wants to put in the time and effort.

It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I learned so much, not only coding but how to work in a creative atmosphere. I met so many great people, and had so many great experiences that have helped me be more a self-sufficient and productive person,... Read More which has helped me far beyond the workplace.

I am a seasoned entrepreneur with a solid background in accounting, management/team building, and some traditional marketing. After spending 10's of thousands of dollars on hiring developers for mobile and website applications, I realized that in order... Read More for my company to succeed and survive, I would need to become it's Tech Founder and opted for a bootcamp learning experience.

The nine week intensive Wyncode web development course was hard for me since I was about 30 years older than most of the participants. The combination of great instructor, personal attention from teacher's assistants and the collaborative culture amoungst the cohort colleagues, helped me finish the experience and accomplish my goal of learning the basics of computer programming.

My original intent for taking the course was to acquire the knowledge necessary to be able to do most of the work myself with little or no outside hired help. Fortunately, I was exposed to some tremendous talent and realized that my company could thrive faster and better by hiring someone to share the web and app development load. I hired a very talented and mission driven young woman with whom worked with on a couple of projects during the cohort. Without the knowledge I learned and the experience I had of working with this person on bootcamp projects, I would not have made the wise decision to bring her on as a partner developer. We are five months out from our Wyncode experience. We have taught ourselves two new programming languages in addition to the ones we learned at Wyncode. We have redone the original website, started several mobile apps, figured out a coding methodology for a mobile interactive toy with a provisional patent, and will be crowdsourcing our new product in January of 2016. I highly recommend any startup entrepreneur developing a tech heavy business to strongly consider attending attending a Wyncode bootcamp AND to hire Wyncoders to help you in your journey.

This was the right decision for me; it layed out a number of best practices, forced my to discover how I best learn to code and gave me the confidence and foundation to pursue a carreer. I have been working as a programmer since two weeks out of school... Read More making very good money. I am stilll very much a junior developer but I have come to enjoy the struggle that coding brings, that begain at Wyncode.

Wyncode was a great experience for learning how to code. I was in the first cohort and was wary of trusting in Wyncode, since they hadn’t proven themselves in the South Florida market. It happened to be a great decision and I happily have a new career... Read More as a junior developer. Their instructors and staff are incredible and truly help you every step of the way. Whether you’ve never seen a line of code or you just want to learn a new language, you can rest assured they will tailor the learning towards your needs. I do suggest studying and doing the pre-work as well as other online tools to get you prepared for the fast paced course material. If not for that, I would have been very lost through it all. They are currently branching to Fort Lauderdale, which is great for people who live north of Miami. Before I started Wyncode I began going to Ruby Meetup groups, one of which is in Ft. Lauderdale. Damon Davidson runs that group. I learned so much and felt like he was so knowledgeable when interacting with others about their problems and questions in the Ruby world. I enjoyed his teaching style and think he will be an asset to Wyncode as lead instructor in their Ft. Lauderdale location. Ed Toro (Miami Lead Instructor) and Damon Davidson (Ft. Lauderdale Lead Instructor) are very intelligent individuals that will help each person strive to learn as much as they can in the little amount of time given to the cohort. If you have any interest in programming or being in the tech scene, Wyncode is a great choice to start that journey. Just be prepared to work harder than you have in the past and know that in the end it will be well worth it and lead you to a thriving career in the tech industry.

I decided to change my life and learn to code, and thanks to Wyncode and their amazing staff, I was able to do so in a mere 9 weeks.

Don't get me wrong, 9 weeks may sound like a short amout of time, but the amount of knowledge and experience I acquired... Read More at Wyncode you really can't put a price on it.

Prior to joining Wyncode, I was the Sr. Executive IT Recruiter at my former employer, an award winning recruitment and staffing firm here in Miami, FL. The last 6 months of work I wasn't really happy with the idea of my success being reliant on so many outside factors that I wasn't in control of. During my time as a recruiter, specifically within the IT space, I built many relationships and friendships with software & web developers of all kinds and got really curious as to what it was that they do all day, but more specifically why they were so in demand.

I had known about Wyncode for quite some time and had attended a few of their Pitch Days. I was really impressed by what I saw. I asked myself, how were these folks able to build a full-stack web application in 2 weeks without any prior coding experience? It seemed that this was an impossible task that there would be no way on Earth that I'd be able to complete. After some soul-searching and evaluation I decided that the recruiter life wasn't for me anymore and decided to take a leap of faith and enroll in Wyncode's 7th cohort.

I have to say that the Wyncode experience was the best and worst 9 weeks of my life. From the beginning you are fully immersed into Web Development and placed completely out of your comfort zone. Since day 1, I trusted that the Wyncode staff would have my best interest at heart and I knew that things would work out...basically, I fully trusted in their curriculum, structure, and workflow.

They always above and beyond the call of duty in terms of teaching me how to learn again and provided me with the solid foundation to hit the ground running after completion of the 9 weeks. Not only did Wyncode provide me with the solid foundation of tools to get out there and start coding, but also assisted me 100% in job placement after the cohort has completed.

A note to future Wyncoders out there, it's all about the relationships you build that will get you placed afterwards. Whether it's through the many hiring partners that interviewed me through Wyncode's amazing services or through relationships you build on your own, it's all about how you sell yourself and your work ethic. Through the 9 weeks of intense learning, you are conditioned to feel confident about yourself and everything you've learned. You may not realize it the time, but you know more than you think you know. It's all about being positive and selling yourself to prospective employers, which Wyncode does almost too good of a job training you in that aspect as well.

It's not all about Wyncode teaching you all the tech skills, but also teaching the business acumen necessary to market yourself and get hired as soon as possible. Luckily for me, I was hired the last day of Wyncode's 7th cohort by an amazing dev shop and am currently their only Jr. Developer working in the same working space as Wyncode. It's not about what's out there and available in terms of developer roles(which the supply is way fewer than the demand...which s a great thing)...it's about carving out a position for yourself like I did. I now have the opportunity to learn many different technologies from a crack-team of Sr. developers and stay close to the Wyncode family. You're not just a student at Wyncode, you're a family member and their network and reputation for producing quality full-stack developers is second to none.

I couldnt be happier with my experience at Wyncode. I recommend anyone who wants to learn to code, change your life, and enroll in a coding bootcamp to definitely join Wyncode. You won't be sorry. :)

P.S. Special shout-out to Juha Mikkola, Johanna Mikkola, Ed Toro, Matt Campbell, Rita Rovira, Sean Selleck, Gabe Noboa, and the rest of the Wyncode staff for making my time at Wyncode a remarkable and amazing experience.
