"Challenging and Welcoming."
App Academy is a fast paced, challenging, web development course that claims it can teach people to code with no prior experience. I attended the bootcamp in June of 2020. Here are my thoughts.
Pros:
-Lots of help.
-Friendly staff.
-Has a current curriculum... Read More
Cons:
-Expensive
-Not enough coverage on data structures and algorithms.
You can make the argument that the price is worth what you get out of it. Similarly, you educations depends on you being willing to put in a lot in order to get a lot out of it. In a way you dictate the experience you have here. I enjoyed my time here. The welcoming environment was nice, and the teachers spent countless hours teaching you how to solve problems, rather than just pointing to solutions. If you genuinely want to learn and have the drive to survive the 6 month long program, you will learn a lot of information. In addition to the price the lack of data structures and algorithm teaching is in part the draw back of all boot camps, there simply is not enough time to teach you everything. They make an effort on this front however, by teaching you how to teach yourself. So by then end of it if you don't know something, you can easily find out how to do it.

"App Academy is no joke, you'll gain a lot of experience just by going through their bootcamp"
Oh man, just finished up the curriculum and currently getting ready to apply for jobs. Here are the pros and cons of my experience:
Pros:
- The curriculum is extensive, everything you need is explained in full details in articles, reiterated in videos and... Read More
Cons:
- The curriculum can use some proofreading, typos are everywhere and as a former designer, they all jump out to me.
Really not many negative things I can think of about my experience. It really has been a pleasant experience for me. With that said, it really is an intensive bootcamp. LOTS of materials to digest within a short amount of time, which takes a toll on personal life. So plan accordingly.
