Coding Bootcamp Praha

PROS: + The course offers a comprehensive introduction to web design and general programming concepts. + The instructors were patient, personable, and experienced in the field. + The office is located in the center of one of the most beautiful cities... Read More in Europe. + Classes can also be attended online. ALSO NOTE: - It's a full-time commitment for 12 weeks. - The fast-paced environment requires a self-starter mentality, strong communication skills, and a positive attitude. - The bootcamp gives you resources and guidance to learn the skills, build your CV, and find a job, but you have to put in the effort to get the results. I attended the batch of Fall 2021, and I landed my first job in the field two weeks after Demo Day.

Due to family reasons, I took the full programme online, thus my experience might differ a little from those who studied in person. I certainly might have missed out on getting to know my classmates better but I’m more of an introverted person anyways,... Read More thus studying online would have been my preferred choice even if I did not have small kids at home and did not live 600 km away from Prague :) Here’s what I have found out about studying online: NEUTRAL: -gaining new knowledge is the same, you hear the same instructions, get access to the same materials etc -you cooperate with both online and in-person students and you are encouraged to do so -the mentors can help you equally no matter where you are PROS: -having more / bigger monitors at your disposal -studying online means you save time on commuting, so you have more time to study -suits everyone who prefers spending more time alone rather than in a group of people -easier to organise your day if you have family / other responsibilities CONS: -but you also have many more distractions (your close ones, household chores, TV etc) -it’s not always easy to feel motivated -asking questions means more proactivity from you -you have to get fast at things like sharing screen, muting, unmuting etc, or else you waste a lot of time Regarding the programme itself, I have learnt much more than I expected. My goal was not to apply for a job right away because I prefer to spend a couple more months both studying & having a little more flexibility for my family. From that perspective, my experience is not very usual as most of the other students were interviewing for jobs as soon as possible. So, that’s it and if you wish to study web development online, I can fully recommend the programme.

Throughout my life I realised that everything comes down the people who I meet and interact with, whether it's been in my past jobs, while travelling, or in my social circle. You can have the best project or job but if you don't enjoy the people you work... Read More with, you still struggle. And this is my intro to what I enjoyed most about my experience with Coding Bootcamp Praha - the people! Everyone from the team was not only nice but also really helpful. It was well organised, you could see that it's been running for a while and even little details were thought through. But even more importantly - at least for me- the mentors were experienced at working with juniors and endlessly patient at explaining, and re-explaining. It's not that I did not pay attention, its just that often I simply had hard time grasping a new topic and I found it very reassuring that I could always ask again and again without feeling dumb :) my big thanks to the team, hope to see you again sometime!

I enjoyed working with the mentors each day and seeing how much I was able to learn in such as short period of time. It was a ride too and not always easy but mostly I had so much fun learning programming. The course keeps you busy, so I recommend to... Read More organise yourself well! Hope you have as much great time as I did!

Pros: - Great mentors. This was sth I was most afraid of because I remember from school that I hated / loved the same subject depending on who was teaching it. So I was happy to be taught by great guys (and girls) who not only knew their stuff but very... Read More engaging and friendly. - Study materials. A lot of materials to practice during the classroom hours but also outside of them. This really helped me because I learn better when I can go through the same thing a number of times. - Other students. My group was amazing, we really supported each other and it was fun to work in different teams. - Job support. I didn't know what to expect, so it was good to learn more about how to get hired and what can help me. I took a month after the bootcamp to keep on studying and only started applying then, and it took me around 6 weeks afterward to find a job I felt good about. Cons: - It's fast! 3 months goes by really quickly, so it's good to be ready for it and do as much prep as you can. - Web development can sometimes be sooo confusing! So many technologies, so many things that "kind of" do the same, so many things to learn. It will probably take me some more time to feel more confident in my skills. But that's probably ok.

Are you looking for a lifetime journey? Are you looking for a new lifestyle? Are you looking for a challenges and new opportunities? Coding Bootcamp Praha is right place for you! As a Graduate of the spring 2021 program, I can say I really love the time... Read More I spend with Coding Bootcamp Praha, and I was very upset that it’s over. Great Team, with great patience and understanding to them who can ask stupid question and maybe the same question more than 2 times :). Syllabus is built very fairly as for totally beginners as for people who have more knowledge in this field. Challenges and Hackathons were the great way to sum up passing materials. And overall, the program gives you knowledge how to learn, because for rising as a developer is very important to know how to learn even after graduating the bootcamp. The job-hunting workshops and feedbacks from recruitment professionals was great opportunity to understanding general market situation and your real advantages and rooms for improvement. No matter which bootcamp u will choose, it is very important spend as much as possible time on prebootcamp studies, which for example was provided by Coding Bootcamp Praha. Especially deep dive on programming languages, choose at list one with beginner level, because as much as you are prepared as much you will gain from bootcamp. Prebootcamp studies are offered with strong reason to help you go through the new way much easier and as I mentioned above gain maximum from the program. Don't be shy to ask the questions - you should go through this pain :) and during the program look through the topics in advance. I hope short story of my coding journey will be helpful for you. Wish you good luck rising developer. Sincerely Inga

PROS: - Personalized support during the full bootcamp - Learn different technologies with challenging exercises everyday - Final project which allowed us to create an app from scratch - Four hacakatons during the bootcamp that were really challenging... Read More but really exciting (html/css, JavaScript, PHP/Laravel and react) CONS: - Extremely too much information during 12 weeks, I believe this bootcmap can be extended for four more weeks with the same content, in order for the students to retain more information

I was looking for a course where I could jump start my carrier in Web Development. The curriculum and the teaching method (lectures led by an instructor) were the two things that made me choose this course. The pre-bootcamp studies that are suggested... Read More were very helpful to easily adapt to the course, understand the content and get the most out of teaching hours. The pace and the content were delivered in a very professional way with a lot of support from all the staff. The additional material and guidance by the instructors was the best someone could ask. No matter the issue there was always an instructor or mentor that could help you. What is more, the hackathons were placed perfectly in the course timeline and allowed me to combine all the knowledge of the previous days into one project, work with my fellow students and produce a product that before the course would seem impossible! Also, the curriculum includes the best technologies that are currently in demand and as they are current and relevant, they have helped me during the job finding process. Finally, I would suggest to prepare yourself for a very intense 12-week course that requires your full attention and every hour is packed with information and knowledge that you are going to use in your future job. The final project was the best experience I ever had as I had to work with like-minding people to produce a product that would showcase all ours skills and hard work and could be used in our portfolio .

Perspective is everything, so I'll start with some info about myself. I have had a bit of an "IT thinking", experience working with structured data going in and some with technical documentation, but no knowledge of any programming languages aside from... Read More high school IT classes 15+ years ago. From this starting situation, I found the studies to be well structured and presented at a manageable pace, if at the price of doing the exercises even after teaching hours (which is BTW expected). However, especially with the latter your mileage might admittedly vary, based on your previous experience. The content of the course itself should prepare you well enough to be able to apply to junior positions related to HTML/CSS, PHP or JavaScript. Both me and the classmates I've been in contact with did find their jobs eventually, some of us after months, some of us pretty much right after the bootcamp came to an end, depending on the progress we made during the course, but also confidence and luck. Of course, in that job, you'll still see a ton of specific things the course doesn't explicitly teach, based on where you end up, but you should know enough basics to be able to handle it. Regarding the lectors, they are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Never attending any other bootcamp to have a reference, it's rather hard to objectively justify any rating I would give, but still, I'm subtracting one star in Job Support, since while the course technically does provide a Job guarantee (and as I've said, we have found a job, anyway), the conditions to be eligible are pretty harsh. Overall, I'd recommend the course if you want to steer your career in this direction. Especially so, if you, like me, have poor discipline to learn at your own.

I had a very good time studying at Coding Bootcamp Praha. The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful. The course was well-organized, everything had a clear structure and logic to it. I'm glad I took part in it also, it really helped me fast-track... Read More my progress. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn web development 👍
