devCodeCamp

I will forever be grateful to devCodeCamp. What started out feeling like a leap of faith, turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Before devCodeCamp, I had a four-year degree in a totally unrelated area, and overtime I began feeling trapped in that field. I had absolutely zero coding experience, but knew I needed a change. After taking a tour of devCodeCamp and meeting with Paul and other very passionate and driven individuals, I knew this was where I needed and wanted to be.

devCodeCamp is the real deal—it’s intense, it’s fast-paced, and to be honest, it’s mentally and emotionally draining at times. But that’s because it works. Nothing of value comes easy. You have to want it and work for it, but you’re also not left to fend for yourself. The instructors are some of t...

Attending devCodeCamp was the best decision to help me reach my goals. As a graduate from a 4-year university looking to change careers, I was struggling to learn programming languages on my own. After hearing about devCodeCamp from my friends, I was initially skeptical due to my belief in the traditional school system. However, my first week in the program taught me that devCodeCamp is a legitimate organization that strives to bring their students success. The staff proved to be extremely knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. The course can wear on you, as it is an intense 12-week program that constantly presents new information and challenges. However, the students and staff are incredibly supportive. Staff members are available 24/7 and are open to giving extra tutoring ses...

I came to devCodeCamp (dCC) with vary minimal experience with code, only having dabbled with it. That experience got me through the first couple of days before I found myself being challenged and given new things I've never been shown before. Overall dCC was a huge game changer for me and my life. I went from driving a forklift in a warehouse to being a knowledgeable job-ready developer in just three months.

The course itself was challenging but very rewarding. One of the most important skills they will teach you is the ability to learn. You are given a lot of information very quickly and then given hands on projects to work on to apply what you just learned. When you run into issues or have extra questions, the instructors are always there to help guide you in the right direction. ...

Well, to be honest, I was really scared to start with this. Knowing that it is a fast paced learning environment and would have to leave my job and invest my savings into it and me personally have never studied in any American institution before this(I am from India), I was risking everything. But now I am glad that I took the right decision as the knowledge that I have now would not have been possible without devCodeCamp.

The team of Instructors led by Mike, is a really awesome team. Not only they helped me with my questions but also encouraged me, and brought me back up whenever I would feel little low. Environment in the camp is positive and each of the instructors are available anytime of the day to help you.

devCodeCamp teaching philosophy is learning by doing, and that's exa...

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of what you read online... truth is, you never really know until you try it for yourself.

For me, it was the chance I was looking for and the structure was exactly what I needed. The instructors are there to help you get going, point you in the right direction, and guide you when you get stuck, but they are not going to give you the answers and they won't do the work for you. If you are looking for hand holding, this won't be the right fit. You have to put in the work, and you have to be willing to fail.

The course work is fairly fast-paced, but for someone with no coding experience, it wasn't too much to handle. I certainly wasn't the top of my class, but with effort and time, I was able to learn and became a Junior Software Develop...

I started my training at devCodeCamp with ZERO prior experience. I came from a construction and military background, but I was determined to take on software development and was still apprehensive about being able to pick it up in 12 weeks. My apprehension was misplaced - devCodeCamp delivered on their promise to go from zero to hero within 12 weeks.

The whole course is a learn by doing environment, which for me was the key to my success. I wasn't overwhelmed with theory or memorizing lists of vocabulary words, I was hands-on coding nearly 95% of the time.

The instructional staff was knowledgeable and accommodating when it came to the barrage of questions I would ask on a regular basis. There was no question to small or to big and the responses they would provide would help me f...

Why devCodeCamp?

Now if you're reading this I'm sure you have doubts in your mind about if a boot camp is really worth it and does it work. I'm here to tell you it that it's more than worth it. Coming into devCodeCamp I had no prior knowledge about how to code and I was worried that I wouldn't understand concepts. Day by day though I kept at it, strengthening my knowledge of how to code. Don't get it wrong though this class isn't a walk in the park, it's a boot camp, challenging but in a great way. If you continue to put forth the effort you will see the results in a tremendous way. The instructors at dCC are always right there along your side to help you understand and push you in the right direction. The environment is perfect for a learning atmosphere, you build relationships with...

Did you get a job? I waited to write a review for the course until I got hired but now, I am so here it is:

I started out as everyone else, skeptical, and unsure about the amount of money to be spent. I can now say in certainty it was all worth and a small price to pay to launch myself in such a lucrative new career. I landed a job as a Full Stack Developer within less than one month of graduating! Full time salary work with the job title I was shooting for. Not only did I get hired so quick, there were multiple opportunities for interviews and potential places of employment.

What is it like?

The course it tough, fast paced, but all graspable. You have top notch instructors that really do enjoy teaching you. As time goes on you see yourself as part of the whole devCodeCamp sy...

More than just learning syntax, devCodeCamp teaches you what it really means to be a developer: to always be learning new things, setting goals for yourself, and most importantly, keep doing it! Watching tutorials and playing around on [free coding website]* will only get you so far, you really do need to fully immerse in it. (*I did all those things prior so no judgement. I could build a decent looking website but becoming a Full Stack Developer is an entirely different beast.) The staff at dCC really believe in what they do and will check in to make sure you are always working on something. The bootcamp experience certainly requires discipline and sacrifice (Paul's initial assessment that "we don't expect you to put aside 100% of your life, but maybe 80% of it for this" was pretty ac...

devCodeCamp has easily been the most enjoyable education experience I've ever had. The coursework is relevant to the job market, the lectures are informative but not overbearing, and the instructors are amazing. They welcome all questions and are extremely approachable and helpful. If you attend this school, ask as many questions as you possibly can. The instructors will gladly explain not only how something works but why it works better than other feasible solutions. You will gain a great depth of knowledge that is limited only by how much effort you give.

In short, go to devCodeCamp!!!

Had very knowledgeable Time At DevcodeCamp.

I recently graduated and I'm glad I decided to go here. I had some basic programming experience before I came in so it made the first couple weeks easier but there is always extra things you can work on if you finish the current task early. You arent going to be sitting in lectures all day, instead the majority of your time will be actively working on projects which I greatly prefer. The instructors are really kind and helpful, you can ask for help at any time no problem even after hours on slack they will help you. Paul makes it very clear before you join that this will be hard work, its called a bootcamp for a reason but if you enjoy it its fun work. Overall if you enjoy coding this is a great choice to get the skills you need to become a Junior Developer.

As with any boot camp it’s intense fast paced and difficult. Especially if you have no prior experience. The overall material they teach is great covering JavaScript, CSS, C#, and ASP .NET. The instructors are very very knowledgeable and available at all times even on weekends. I did struggle with the material and felt like giving up many times but I went to the instructors and they give some really supportive feedback and encouragement.

The course is not easy especially if you have no prior programming experience. It's a rough 12 weeks, 7 AM - 4 PM, and sometimes 5 PM. You got weekend off but oftentimes, you'll end up using it up for self study or your project. It's grueling work and many times, you want to quit, but keep on pushing, one step at a time -- always moving forward, even a little. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful, even after class. People in the class come from different walks of life; some will know more than you and some less, so don't compare yourself to others, but to a set standard set by the course. You are graded (not on a curve) and need at least 80% to graduate. If you don't graduate on time, you're allowed to resubmit assignments and projects. The object of the course i...

Great team! Right away you are taught how to think like a software developer. They provide a collaborative arena constructed to replicate a real-world software development environment.

devCodeCamp was the best decision to better myself in a development career path. Started in college, but didn't think I was getting enough information. I took a chance with dCC and ended up beating out 3 college developers for a position at MSI Data.

devCodeCamp taught me how to problem solve, and it pushed me to become a better developer constantly by preaching the core principles . Because of that, I feel like I can apply those principles while learning any new framework or language.

I was lucky that a friend connected me to devCode when I was looking for a career change. From my first visit, the staff were honest about the expectations of students; they told me it was going to be challenging work. I came into the course with a mindset that I would need to dedicate myself to the work. Throughout the process, I was given the challenging work I was promised. I was able to do the work because of the instructors that are literally available day and night to help when you get stuck. Students have constant access to qualified instructors (who love what they do) during the day, and then are able to use Slack to connect with them after hours. One of the best parts of this camp is the director of curriculum. As a former teacher, I know good instruction when I see it. ...

This bootcamp was a great way to learn how to start coding in a few different types of coding languages. It was fast paced, but it helps you prepare for the real world when you have a career in the web development world. It was very project based which helped a lot. The projects helped you learn how the certain type of coding language works. There were group projects and this helped you learn how to code a project as a team. The group projects helped you learn to work as a team. After you complete the 12 weeks, they help you find a job which is a great aspect. Overall, this coding bootcamp was worth it.

The first thing I'll tell everyone is that it wasn't easy. The second is that it was absolutely worth it. The course is centered around hands-on, project-based learning. So, you end up with real world experience and work to show potential employers.
