App Academy

Over the course of four months, I learned so much material with the support of my fellow cohort mates and instructors. The instructors were incredibly nice, and knowledgable as they had gone through the course themselves and understood the stress of the... Read More bootcamp. It actually wasn't as stressful as I expected it to be, but you definitely have to put in the work or else you'll fall behind. The best part of the bootcamp are the people you meet. My cohort was full of incredibly intelligent individuals who all had the same goal as I did. The curriculum is mostly good at AppAcademy. You'll learn Ruby and then move to Javascript and React, which were the harder parts of the curriculum. Some parts of the curriculum felt dated, and could definitely be renovated to modern standards. Unfortunately, we were not taught React hooks, which I highly hope they add to the in-person curriculum due to the increasing importance of hook-based development. Overall, I enjoyed my time at AppAcademy, but definitely be prepared to put in the work.

Pros: - Get to learn in demand skills. - Great support from cohort-mates and most instructors - Fast-paced learning environment that forces you to focus on the material on a daily basis. - Structured learning schedule - Promotes pair programming on a... Read More daily basis Cons: - Very fast paced, not fit for people who are not able to devote 100% of their attention to the curriculum and learning new material daily - Some instructors take a while to answer questions, or they kind of brush off your questions.

The curriculum was very thorough. I feel as though I learned a lot and I feel confident. I met great people ans have made some life long friends. Really happy that I chose App Academy. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in software engineering!... Read More

App Academy provides a fantastic student experience that is both professional and friendly. Although there were some bumps along the way, a/A was a great experience overall. From the fantastic staff to the amazing curriculum, there is little to complain... Read More about. If your thinking about attending a boot camp, App Academy is definitely the way to go!

App academy's 24 week online program excels at challenging their students and placing their students in a great learning environment. During my time at App academy I went from little to no knowledge of software development to being able to successfully...

After attended the 16-week program, I am now able to create apps and websites using MERN, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScripts, and most importantly, understand coding memes. This is coming from someone who never enrolled in a single computer/coding course... Read More before. I stayed up until 1am most days to codes, and although I am sleep deprived ever since I started this program, I really enjoyed learning new tools and being able to create similar apps/sites that I myself use often. It can be easy to feel discouraged at first because many of my classmates have previous experiences with coding, but as long as you stay humble and willing to learn/ take constructive criticism, almost everyone is willing to help you out, especially the TA. The only thing I wish the program can improve on is updating some of the curriculum, since technology advances at such a rapid rate, even if the lesson is only a couple of years old, it can be really noticeable with deprecated and 'unsafe' codes. Although part of the program isn't just to teach you the technology, but also how to think and how to keep up to date with the new techs, so with some research you can probably stay up to date with the codes anyway.

App Academy has a great environment and I would recommend anyone looking for an (online remote) experience to change career course. This organization has a great structure with anyone who has no experience in the tech field. I've already recommended App...

Prior to App Academy, I got a Computer Science Minor from college but I believed it didn't properly prepare me to excel in the industry. Because of this, I joined App Academy in order to learn more about current frameworks and to learn how to create good-looking... Read More websites and projects. For the first week or so you start off doing solo work learning fundamentals of ruby while after that is all about lectures in the morning and pair programming in the afternoon. If you decide to join App Academy, I would highly recommend making some friends within the first week of class because they would be a resource where you can bounce coding ideas and methods with each other.

I have finished the 16weeks bootcamps in a/A. It has really good curriculum, even though it could be little tough to finish everything in 16weeks, there are nice TAs who can help you out with keeping up good working strategies. Even after graduation,... Read More career coaches is there to help you out with getting jobs during job search.

App Academy's 16-week program was a very fast-paced Bootcamp. We learned a lot more than that I thought we would, including Javascript, React/ Redux, MERN, Rails, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, AWS, and Webpack. Overall it was a pretty positive experience. If you're...

We had a lot of people drop out because they felt like they were behind, but everyone is more or less around the same level.
