devCodeCamp

Without a doubt, devCodeCamp exceeded the high expectations I had when I started the course. The context was structured in a way that allowed students to quickly learn and apply the material. Instructor feedback and interaction was quickly available when... Read More needed during projects. Having been previous students themselves, the instructors in a unique position to be able to relate to the struggles and growing pains of the accelerated curriculum.

I would say the only Con is the cost. It's well worth it though. Learning how to code taught me so much about myself and made me believe I was capable of everything. devCodeCamp is challenging, but the course materials are set up in an easy to follow... Read More way. The lectures are interesting and teach a lot, but the program being project based is what really solidifies everything in your head. After you are introduced to a concept you are given a project so you can put your new knowledge to work right away. This process really helps you to learn the concepts taught and build your confidence as an aspiring developer. I highly recommend devCodeCamp!!

I came to devCodeCamp looking to make a career change after 10 years as a musician and music educator. Having lived the nightmare that can occur when utilizing adjunct faculty, I very much appreciate that devCodeCamp's instructors are employed full-time... Read More and are constantly available to assist their students. This allows each instructor to really get to know their students and offer tailored advice and guidance every step of the way, as well as ensures that each student is truly maximizing their unique potential throughout the course. The teaching and projects are thoughtful and well-planned, and it is clear that the instructors are always pushing their students and themselves to be better.

Super excited to have decCodeCamp available online to me during the pandemic. I found the course work challenging and the projects educational. It was definitely self-driven, and a lot of hard work! I look forward dot all the opportunities that are afforded... Read More to me.

I came to devCodeCamp with no prior experience in coding, and I wasn't really sure what to expect at first. I'd recently lost my job, and with COVID-19 impacting my former career field in nonprofit, I was looking for a change in career paths. I'd found... Read More devCodeCamp on the recommendation of a friend and decided to take a risk on it and dive into the world of coding. They really hit the ground running with the course work, and give you plenty of hands-on time to practice coding through projects and assignments from day 1! Even with the class being entirely remote, they paired each of us with a senior developer we could meet with daily for feedback and support, and the whole team of instructors was on call to assist if we ran into any issues. I will say that the course is fast paced, and it's up to you as a student to put in the extra time when you struggle with a concept. That being said, it is 100% worth it in my book! Even as a recent graduate of the course, I've already found a position in the field of Software Engineering, and am beyond thrilled to put my experience and new skills to good work! If you're in the same position I was and looking for a fresh start to the world of coding, I cannot recommend devCodeCamp enough. It's an investment in your future that is 100% worth it!

I began devCodeCamp in March 2020 originally planning on an in-person experience. Given the climate of the pandemic, operations were switched to remote learning for the duration of the 3-month program. While this was initially disappointing, I felt the... Read More instructors and staff of devCode did a great job of quickly adapting and creating an awesome experience. They continued to be heavily involved and I always felt they were truly invested in my learning and growth while in the program. As it turns out, my first job will also be remote so looking back, it wound up being great preparation for me.

Their project-based approach to learning is the best way to acquire new skills such as these and cover as much content as they do in such a short time. Having started with 0 coding background, by the end of the program, I was amazed at the level of projects I was working on and how self-sufficient I was becoming. I will say this was definitely a uniquely challenging experience and while I gained a great deal from it, you absolutely get out what you put in so get ready to WORK.

Lastly, I would like to speak on the career assistance as that was a major reason for my choosing this program. As you may guess, graduating in June 2020 in the midst of a major recession with many companies on hiring freezes, etc was not the green pasture of employment I anticipated. I want to tip my cap to Paul and Erik who continued to be involved beyond my graduation and in fact, helped facilitate opportunities for interviews which led to landing my first job (~2.5 months after graduating). I can't say enough how grateful I am for their help and am so excited to embark on this new career!

A year before I began the bootcamp, I had graduated with a degree in IT, during my studies I had decided that I wanted to go into software development. However, I had only had one class on Java and trying to teach yourself code and software development... Read More while working full time is not a viable plan.

I had been casually looking at DevCodeCamp for about 9 months but was always afraid to pull the trigger and quit my job. When Covid hit and I began feeling unsafe at my current job, I decided it was time. It was by far the best investment I have made.

I’m sure it was a challenge to move from classroom based to a fully online program during this time and replicate the same feel. However, they did a great job of keeping you connected as a class and always feeling like you had the support and help you needed. The instructors were available in an instructor’s chat and if they weren’t able to answer it over chat, they would hop on Zoom to help you solve your problem.

You are immediately immersed in the world of software development from day one. You receive lectures, hands-on training, and develop problem solving skills. From the very beginning you are taught to think like a coder, you are given some information but to complete the projects there is a lot of research and problem solving on your own. You are encouraged to try and solve the problems yourself but are also encouraged and expected to ask questions if you are stuck. It provides you with a lot of real-world experience as you begin to enter your new career.

After graduation, you are provided job hunt resources such as technical interview practice, resume review and much more. As someone new to the field, upon receiving my first request for a technical interview I immediately reached out for some help and Mike T developed a mock technical interview for me. I am happy to report that a month and a half after graduation I received a job offer.

If you are having hesitations, I promise that this program is a great investment that sets you up for success in the future.

Before starting at devCodeCamp I did year and a half of college and I hated every second. I felt like colleges only wanted to take my money and once they got it they would dump me off with this piece of paper with no Idea how to start my career. devCodeCamp... Read More gave me the individual learning experience I needed. The instructors actually care about your success and take as much time as you need to understand something. You can tell the entire staff is behind you. Now that I've graduated they've helped me prepare for interviews by showing me what to expect and by conducting mock interviews. This is the best there is folks.

I went into devCodeCamp with zero coding experience and 3 months after graduation, have received my first job offer as a developer! I have always been interested with tech, gaming, and computers maybe slightly more than the average person, but all of... Read More my career experience was in the customer service industry and medical field. I decided to look into this bootcamp because an old friend of mine had graduated from the program a few years back and spoke highly of it. I am so very happy that I took the leap to make a change for myself! The program is challenging and moves fast, but the instructors are there to support whenever you feel like you are "stuck." The curriculum does push you to start thinking like a developer right away and gets you feeling confident about self-learning. The instructors have done a great job with all the information and experience fit into the program without being overwhelming for someone who has never programmed before. My particular class had experienced the in-person campus as well as going remote about half-way through due to Covid. My unsolicited advice for anyone ready to invest in themselves with this bootcamp would be to dive in to the projects, ask as many questions as you can, and remember to give yourself breaks when needed!
