CodingNomads

After several years of with attempting to learn to code myself, I found myself frustrated with a lack of progress and being stuck in 'tutorial purgatory'. Like most people, I spent many hours looking into various bootcamps, weighing up the pros & cons... Read More but often backed off not wanting to make that full commitment of quitting work and spending thousands of $$$$. CodingNomads offered introductory/preparatory online materials, with 1-on-1 coaching sessions which served as a feeder to their main on-site bootcamp.

I decided to signup to the Intro Java/SQL course to see if they would be a good fit going forward. Pretty much from the first session I knew there would be value in really learning to code with CodingNomads. Ryan was great at explaining the core concepts and felt like I was beginning to make some progress. From there it was a relatively easy decision to commit to the full on-site course.

My positive experience continued in Bali from day 1. We covered a lot of material at what times felt like a frenetic pace. Initially it felt quite overwhelming, but CodingNomads instructors were always readily available to help.

By the end of the course I had a good solid foundation with which to continue my coding journey. I felt comfortable in picking up new concepts and technologies unassisted, which is essential in this sector. A few months after returning home I managed to switch my career from Accountancy and land a Junior Developer role, something that I don't think would have been possible without my time at CodingNomads.

I participated in the Bali edition of Coding Nomads Python Bootcamp. At the time I accepted an offer from one the Big Tech companies, but decided to give programming a try first. The program had a great structure and despite limited time allowed us to... Read More get to pretty advanced stuff like deploying apps online. This is definitely a full-time arrangement, but this gave me a good balance during such a long stay in Bali. The most impressive moment is actually not coding related - at one point halfway through the course I felt like I was not getting enough support in learning html. I gave my feedback directly to the course instructors. Most people would really put their ego first and turn it into a power trip - but not them. They were extremely responsive to my feedback and at once made sure I am aware of all the available resources including instructor's time. I still keep in touch with many of the people from the course as this school-like experience abroad really contributed to the tight-knit community vibe during the course. What I learned at Coding Nomads really saved my ass in my new position as it turned out to be much more code focus than anticipated. Currently, knowing python gives me a cutting edge both in my current position and the wider job market.

I attended the Python bootcamp for web app development in Feb, 2019 in Bali Indonesia. Before this I had zero Python although I learned some C++ many years ago at school but never used it after. It has been such a rewarding experience for me which I would... Read More definitely recommended to everyone who is searching on Python courses for the following reasons:
1. It has very good value compared to other bootcamps in the US. Some scholarship for female students too. That's very nice.
2. It takes places in beautiful cities like Bali far away from home for most, which would be a good chance to explore and it's never boring!
3. We had our courses in a co-working space which was very convenient. We had access to a pool, open study area, the quiet room and all the activities there. It's one of the best place you could learn to code and meet people actually code remotely for a living.
4. We had Martin and Caden as our instructors. Caden was always very cheerful and helpful. Martin is the most adaptable and considerate teacher I have ever met. We were pushed to go outside of our comfort zones while feel fully supported. I felt extremely fortunately to have them as my teachers.
5. Kim and Ryan were really sincere and care about our development not only in coding. Kim provided wonderful feedback to my project which I couldn't thank her enough.

The only thing I didn't like was that it was only 2 months on-site. I would like to stay longer! There are so many things to learn. I constantly felt lack of time. All the subjects we covered were very useful for my interviews later on.

This is a rather intense 2 months so you have to be prepared to work hard!

I'd been curious for a while about learning to code and chose to take the online Java course. I quickly realized I was in over my head but my mentor stuck with me and I was able to learn more than I ever thought I could. I liked the flexible approach... Read More of the online learning combined with the structure and support from regular mentor check-ins. I really appreciated being able to message my mentor any time I was stuck on one of the labs or had a quick question in between scheduled calls. I ultimately decided that full-time coding isn't the life for me, but I'm already applying everything I've learned in implementing software for my office, negotiating with tech vendors, and general problem solving. Understanding how object oriented programming works is invaluable and gives me a huge advantage. Knowing SQL is becoming a requirement across the board in business and I'm glad I have a leg up in that area thanks to CodingNomads.

I participated in the Bali Python Bootcamp which exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. Prior to the bootcamp I had zero knowledge of programming. But I now feel comfortable with both reading and writing complex lines of code that are truly... Read More powerful! So much that finding a job in the world of programming is a real possibility!

We had much support throughout the course, including our professor who is a machine learning engineer at Apple. Could not have had a better setup.

I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone interested in getting into the industry. You will not regret it :)

I am very happy that I made the decision to join CodingNomads on-site bootcamp (Barcelona 2018). Instructors were extremely supportive and we covered coding in Python, database and APIs. I also learned skills to set myself up for learning and growing... Read More as programmer. Although, we were doing long hours of coding everyday, we still go out and have fun in great spirit. It has been over a year but the reason I wrote the review now is because I finally landed a job in IT. CodingNomads has been with me all this time and I remember when I asked for a recommendation letter for my future employer and CodingNomads did it in 48 hours! I am grateful and I definitely recommend CodingNomads.

After dabbling for the past several years with many different free and paid programs for various languages, I finally happened upon CodingNomads' online course. I've always felt a difficulty in moving past just learning syntax into building anything useful.... Read More The material strikes a good balance between hand-holding and giving space to problem solve on one's own, while the online format allows learning at a more relaxed pace around work/life/etc. Whenever I became stuck, my mentor was there to help me renew my motivation and/or guide me through the next obstacle in my path. I am currently working through building my final project using Java and SQL and it already feels like an app I (and hopefully others!) will use for years to come. The mentors at CodingNomads really have gone above and beyond anything I’d expected to ensure my success!

Would highly recommend CodingNomads. As someone with no technical background, the focus on not only the programming concepts/languages themselves but also the framework of how to learn and grow was immensely helpful. Also, I found my personal mentor to... Read More be highly informative, interesting, and certainly made the course experience.

The private forum and slack also is a great source of inspiration and valuable for starting the journey.

I started my python online bootcamp with CodingNomads around the start of the year and i found the delivery mechanism very nice and lucid. Also the course content is really thoughful, touches the length and breadth of various topics. I have a amazing... Read More online mentor as Ras and had good and prompt offline support from Martin and rest of the crew.
Labs and projects( i am yet to finish) are challenging and make you think. Overall the program is above my expectation. Hopefully one day i can attend the onsite training as well.
I wish the whole team good luck for the future.
