"Great Program"
Pros:
+ The course is designed well and is an incredibly effective way to learn a lot about coding and web development in a short amount of time. I entered App Academy with no coding experience or technical background, and graduated with a ton of practical... Read More
Pro/Con:
+ Whether this is a pro or con depends on what motivates you, but the possibility of dismissal for failing two assessments adds a significant amount of stress. For me, this stress made the program more effective. I would keep studying for tests long after I was 'ready' for them, which lead to a greater mastery of the material.

"Challenging Course, Rewarding Experience"
In 16 weeks at App Academy, you will be thrown in lots of Computer Science concepts over various programming languages in addition to job searching toolsets. After going through about 3 months of intense learning, you will be tasked with projects to do... Read More
Pros:
- The instructional material were up-to-date, fun, and challenging.
- Really helpful instructors to help you understand Computer Science concepts.
- Plentiful of help for your job search
Cons:
- Some Computer Science concepts taught (either in lecture or in instructional material) are hard to understand or not self-explanatory.
- Some lectures felt rushed and weren't paced well to flesh out concepts clearly.
- The transition from programming projects to job searching was awkward. Felt uncomfortable just suddenly switching from technical to nontechnical work.
Tips I could give:
- Try to learn some new programming languages/concepts ahead of time (even better if before the bootcamp). I highly suggest learning Python.
- Have a set schedule as you do not want to overwork yourself, especially when you're going to be studying new concepts daily.
- Be prepared to be expected to learn new concepts instantly.
