CodingNomads

Coding Nomads is a great school, going from zero programming knowledge to being able to build applications is amazing and it would not be possible without CodingNomads. The support you get is great from weekly mentorship meetings, to the CodingNomads... Read More Forum that has a very supportive community to ask and question you may have. The career services was great as well, being able to ask any questions that came to mind about how to approach the Job search. The owners went above and beyond, making sure to check in regularly, and going above and beyond assisting me with anything that came to mind or issues that arose, and overall show a great deal of interest in seeing me succeed in the IT world. I would highly recommend CodingNomads to anyone who is interested!

During the pandemic I started learning some MATLAB so I could try building my own tools. It became a minor obsession. I was listening to podcasts about it, taking classes, watching videos, and staying up way too late. Last November I subbed for a guy... Read More at a theater who was leaving to take a coding bootcamp. I was like, wait, a what camp? You mean I can learn how to do this coding thing for real? Last week I launched my app, built from the ground up in Java and Spring, with the things I learned from Coding Nomads. Feels great! Coding Nomads has been great. I liked it so much that I started their Javascript course recently. Here's what the founder said about my capstone project: "Your capstone is among the best we've ever seen here at CodingNomads and we've worked with hundreds of students. So, job well done!" My intention is not to leave pro audio, but I do see software development as my next career act. Ideally, I'd like to keep building Tracebook and SubAligner, while doing freelance development work for manufacturers, AV companies, and the live event industry. I want to say a huge thank you to my wife, Elis, who is/was patient with my new obsession and all of the friends who I haven't reached out to a while. Thanks for your support! ❤️

The coursework and assignments are well thought out and give students a firm grasp of programming concepts and the skill sets needed to apply them in real-world cases. I entered the Java Spring Boot program after a few years of non-professional experience... Read More programming in Python/Django and Javascript/Angular. The curriculum was easily transferable, so that I became more confident in the frameworks I was already familiar with while also learning the Java ecosystem. The mentor, who was also experienced in multiple languages and frameworks, was very helpful in aiding me to understand the differences between and suitable applications of the different programming tool kits. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who has already spent time learning coding, Coding Nomads can tailor their instruction to meet your learning needs and help you break into the industry. Highly recommended!

Before taking this course I had a very rudimentary knowledge of Machine Learning and data science concepts but I felt overwhelmed trying to get my head around said concepts on my own, and I had absolutely no idea how to apply them. I saw this course being... Read More offered by CodingNomads and since I’d successfully learned Python with them previously, I took this course too. There are many online bootcamps in the world today, but there are some very specific traits that set CodingNomads apart in my mind. First, CodingNomads instruction is structured for those who wish specifically to be location independent professionals. This might not seem like such a revelation in 2023, but it is very much worth noting here because their programs were designed with this idea at the center since even before the COVID pandemic brought “work from home” into the mainstream. It wasn’t something they just adapted their programs for after the fact, which is central in my view if your goal is more than just becoming a data science engineer, but also seeking the freedom that location-independence can bring. Second, it is one thing to have capable staff with years of experience and a very complete knowledge of their trade, as many bootcamps do. But to be able to teach this in a way that is engaging and will “stick” is a different matter entirely. My impression throughout the course was that the instructor possessed specific expertise in teaching highly technical material to adults who lack a background in this field. This is absolutely indispensable because a new field can be very intimidating if you have zero knowledge a-priori on this topic, as I did. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, where CodingNomads really excels is in their excellent mentoring program. I have had the pleasure of meeting (online) a few of them, and it is clear, in my view, that they are chosen not just for their knowledge and experience but also for their capacity to provide encouragement and support to those who really want to learn this material. This is important for previously stated reasons, but also because the value of having a person who knows the trade to help you get your head around Machine Learning concepts and problem solving techniques cannot be overstated. The best part, for me, was that the mentor was there to help figure out your own solution by applying what was learned, not to give you the answers. It also prepares you because there are seldom “right answers” when it comes to Machine Learning and Data Science, with process and practice evolving constantly. Summing up, the instructor for this course knows their material and how to teach it in an effective way. If that is not enough, CodingNomads has excellent mentors what will help you to figure it out for yourself and provide invaluable support and encouragement throughout the process. Whether you are starting fresh on your first career track, or you have already braved the job market and climbed the career ladder and are now seeking a different approach, CodingNomads will get you there with a helping hand. I can’t recommend them enough.

Balancing work and learning Java was a real challenge, but the adaptability of Coding Nomads made it much more manageable. What distinguishes Coding Nomads is their special, adjustable model. They provide the option to audit the course, giving full access... Read More to materials, labs, forums, and even a certificate for a surprisingly low cost. Require mentorship? Join that program at your leisure. This approach fit perfectly with my learning pace, enabling me to understand intermediate Java far more quickly than when I was trying to learn alone. Even though I chose to learn independently, I've always felt supported. The Coding Nomads team is always there for code reviews and to answer any questions. I've finished the Java Programming course, and I'm excited to tackle the advanced Java + Spring Framework course next. It's apparent that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to set students on the path to a career in backend development. It offers a practical, career-focused perspective that feels more relevant than many traditional Computer Science degrees. I highly recommend Coding Nomads to anyone aiming to master Java or take their skills to the next level. This bootcamp has provided me with not just knowledge but a personal and engaging learning experience. If you're considering entering the backend development field without a financial commitment, Coding Nomads is the perfect option.

I joined CodingNomads in March 2022, eager and hungry to learn Python programming. My thirst for knowledge was met with a supportive team, an immensely rich and well-organized course that broke down hard concepts into small bits. At the end of the course,... Read More a year later, I felt confident enough to take up new challenges and put to test my new skills. I applied for programming roles. Thanks to codingNomads' support and recommendation, I was accepted as an Engineering For Change Fellow supporting Bamcore in automating workflows and processes. Thank you CodingNomads!

I did a lot of research before choosing CodingNomads, and I'm so glad that I ended up choosing them! I didn't know anything about Java when I signed up. The curriculum is laid out very well and the videos are very helpful. The best thing though is the... Read More 1 on 1 mentorship that you get. It's supposed to be once a week but they are always more than willing to meet up more or even just a quick call to help you get through any issues you may be stuck on. Also the CodingNomads community is super nice and they are always willing to help. Honestly anyone can google and youtube their way to learning a new language, so for these bootcamps, it's really the mentoring that separates them. I've talked to a few people from other bootcamps and they said that they didn't get much attention from the teachers/mentors and if you have questions they make you feel like you're bothering them. And I know the cost of some of those bootcamps is at least double the cost of CodingNomads. On top of the top quality mentoring you get here, towards the end of your curriculum you get help with getting ready to look for a job. They help set up your resume, LinkedIn profile, gitHub, etc. They really do want you to succeed and want you to land that first job. If I ever decide to learn a new language, It'll be through CodingNomads!

I enrolled in CodingNomads while already holding a full-time technical position in software. The CodingNomad mentors were able to tailor a specific curriculum for the development needs of my company and help me enhance my current role. The flexible schedule,... Read More professional mentors, and modern/career-focused curriculum made CodingNomads the obvious choice for me and I would highly recommend them to other professionals looking to gain development expertise.

I recently (March 2023) completed a Java Professional Career Track course with CodingNomads, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. The course is put together by a group of fantastic people and true professionals, who provided... Read More a well-selected and thoroughly explained curriculum. The video lectures were especially helpful and complemented the written material perfectly. But what really stood out to me was the personal approach that CodingNomads provided, along with their 24/7 online support. As someone in the middle of a major career change, I was pleasantly surprised with how much they went above and beyond to help me succeed. And I did! I got exactly what I was promised and was able to start my transition into a coding career. Throughout the process, the people at CodingNomads were sincere, honest, and transparent. From the very beginning, they showed a genuine passion for what they do and a commitment to helping me to succeed. Now they are helping me to find a job. Overall, I highly recommend CodingNomads to anyone looking to gain new skills and transition into a new career at any age (I’m well over 40)!

I was lucky enough to have my company sponsor this bootcamp, but I was worried about finding the time outside of work to make progress. My mentor did an amazing job of tailing the course to my needs and interests. I had some prior experience in DS + ML,... Read More so I moved through the online courses pretty quickly. My mentor then went above and beyond to bring new and challenging topics to our weekly meetings to keep me engaged, interested, and educated. He also gave great career tips and advice, despite me not actively looking for work. This is the most effective way I've learned anything since college!
