"Great bootcamp."

I initially chose Byte Academy because of the unique technology stack that it teaches. Most bootcamps are more front-end oriented and my intention was to learn a language that will be powerful on the back end. Byte Academy teaches full-stack web development... Read More

"Like Going to the Moon...more than full time work every day for the duration."

I came to Byte Academy from an accounting background with some casual programming experience. I was challenged in the areas where I thought I was ahead of the curve and I was guided by the teaching staff when I came upon more difficult material. The pace... Read More

I am not going to claim it is perfect, but Byte Academy staff work closely with students on a daily basis to improve personal and overall experience. During my three months I saw several changes in curriculum and teaching methods that improved my experience.

This program is not for you if you:
* Have difficulty following instructions or being taught.
* Expect a collegiate experience.
* Are not willing to spend extra time to give yourself the best opportunity to learn.

In my opinion, Byte Academy is a worthwhile investment if your goal is to take three months to change how you work, how you think and are fully invested in the process. Byte Academy has every resource that you could think of to make you a great full stack Python developer. You just have to show up and take full advantage.
