devCodeCamp

I am an Electrical engineer by degree who needed to break out of the career choice and find a new field. When looking into software programs, I reviewed a dozen before choosing devCodeCamp. I found their curriculum to be challenging, intense, and fun!... Read More I know what I want to do with my life at this point and that is due to the devCodeCamp program. I love coding and the 16-week program was thorough with instruction that was exceptional. The teachers were there for every step and they made sure you did your due diligence through each section of learning. Honestly, I now miss going to class! Now I'm working with the Carrer Services group at dCC and it's been very helpful and I have hopes of finding a software position soon.

DevCodeCamp is a great boot camp. The instructors are very knowledgeable and ready to help. I always felt supported in my course work no matter how small my questions were. I feel like the course work covered is very applicable to the jobs I am applying... Read More for. The assignments and projects were challenging but doable and I felt very proud when I completed my work. I would have liked to have more time covering SQL topics but that is the only thing I would change about my experience.

I recently graduated from the 16-week full-stack development program. I started in the flex program, which is self-paced, and made the decision to switch to the full-time program because I am the type of learner who needed that full-time in class experience.... Read More This course was incredibly challenging and absolutely doable for anyone who doesn't have coding experience. The instructors are super helpful and offer thoughtful answers to any question you may have. I found the answers often prompted further research or insight that did not just give the answers. The instructors come from a variety of backgrounds and offer insight on all types of opportunities. I have just gotten started on the job support, but I expect DCC to offer the same type of insight and experience that their course work provided. They have been nothing but class.

From the application process, to the course work and learning process, to the career services, I had a great experience overall. I knew nothing about coding but they take you through the course and are there to be able to answer any questions you have.... Read More Even after you graduate the course they are still there to support you!

Devcodecamp is an amazing overall bootcamp to go to, they help you learn what you need to be successful in the industry, I was in the program an it was self paced, but it was also with a schedule for you to go to by so you can stay on track and know when... Read More to reach out for help if you were struggling with a specific topic, and when I did I was always welcomed with very helpful, patient, and informative instructors. Once I passed the course I was then helped by the wonderful people in job assistance that helped me build a resume, and reconfigure my LinkedIn profile correctly for the software engineer industry.

I recently completed the devCodeCamp 24-week full-stack software developer Bootcamp, and I'm thrilled with the experience. The bootcamp provided a comprehensive curriculum that equipped me with the necessary skills to embark on a career in software development.... Read More One of the standout aspects of devCodeCamp was the quality of the instructors. They were experienced professionals who were passionate about teaching and mentoring students. They had a deep understanding of the subject matter and were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Their real-world insights and practical examples enhanced the learning experience, making complex concepts more understandable. Another notable advantage of devCodeCamp was the online format. As the bootcamp was entirely online, I was able to continue working full time while pursuing this new skill. The flexibility offered by the online platform allowed me to balance my professional commitments with the rigorous curriculum. The bootcamp provided a structured schedule and utilized various interactive tools, such as video lectures, coding exercises, and live coding sessions, which facilitated an engaging and interactive learning environment. Throughout the bootcamp, I appreciated the hands-on approach to learning. The curriculum emphasized practical application by working on real-world projects and assignments. This approach allowed me to gain valuable experience in building full-stack applications, working with different technologies, and collaborating with fellow students. Overall, devCodeCamp's full-stack software developer bootcamp exceeded my expectations. The knowledgeable instructors, flexible online format, practical curriculum, and supportive environment made it possible for me to acquire new skills while maintaining my full-time job. I highly recommend devCodeCamp to anyone seeking a comprehensive and flexible software development bootcamp.

I found devCodeCamp as a result of not being able to afford college. I started my post-secondary education at a 4-year university, and after completing 3 of the 4 years, I could no longer pay for it. That's when I started looking for other options. I... Read More knew that I was decent at coding, so I started looking at software development bootcamps. I came across close to a hundred bootcamps and felt overwhelmed by the amount of options. Thankfully, devCodeCamp recruiters were determined to reach out and tell me about their program! When the recruiters reached out, I did not feel pressured by them like I did with other program's recruiters. devCodeCamp simple asked that I take a look at their FREE Intro to Python course. After completing that free course, I was excited! I didn't originally have a love for coding, however after taking their free course, I got a feel for the general atmosphere of the program. I was quick to call back the recruiter and get more information. The recruiter was very nice, and answered my call in the first couple rings. She then addressed any concerns that I had at the time. I never felt that I was being lied to or coerced into joining their program. I could tell that they only wanted to better students by getting them into an ever-growing field. Pricing: devCodeCamp may seem expensive at first glance, however, the cost was miniscule compared to what I paid for the first 3 years of university. For only $12k, I was to receive a better education with more support than a $60k degree. The pricing is more comparable to a trade program than a college program. In the field that devCodeCamp teaches, that amount of money for an education is unmatched. Curriculum: devCodeCamp stays on top of industry favorite technologies! Everything that is taught at devCodeCamp can be directly translated into the software development industry. I have conducted meetings with various senior developers and tech company owners; they all say the same thing. "The program that you just completed seems to have taught you everything! I didn't expect you know about this tech stack." The material is very easy to understand. I may have had a background in technology, but even someone with no previous experience could pick up the content if they dedicate themselves to it. Job Support: I can't speak too much about job support yet, seeing how I just graduated and am still going through career services. What I can say is this; as of now, the career services department has not failed me. I am one week in and I already have multiple companies contacting me regarding potential employment. I am excited to see what else the offered job support can offer me as an alum. To conclude, I know how scary it can be to leave the traditional 4-year university that is so hyped up. devCodeCamp and their amazing instructors have given me the assurance that I needed to step out of the cliché college world, and into the bootcamp world that has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. I can confidently say that I am prepared to enter the workforce as a junior software developer. This program is NOT a waste of money.

I am so happy I found this course. It offered everything I needed and more for a full-time working step-parent. When I began this course, I had no idea what platforms were out there or what a "Boolean" or " For Loop" even was. Now, as a recent graduate,... Read More I've created so many projects implementing those same operations without a second thought! I've gained new skills that will not only help me with my new career in coding but with life! I've learned how to use up to intermediate level Python, AWS, Django, Web Services, CSS, HTML, React js, JavaScript, and much more! The only thing I wish is that I could have attended this YEARS ago! I thank them so much for being patient, understanding, and providing great leadership throughout the complete journey of my new career.

I started at devCodeCamp during the last few months of my sixth year teaching public school music--May of 2022--with just enough experience learning Javascript to make me confident that I was ready to commit and learn more.The teaching profession had... Read More changed pretty dramatically with the outbreak of covid, and as result, I began looking for better ways to provide for my wife and two children. After a lot of research and soul searching, I had made the decision to go with devCodeCamp for four main reasons: 1) They had the most flexible timeline for completion out of all the camps I looked at. 2) Their price was quite reasonable, relative to other camps I had looked at. 3) They had a thorough and rigorous curriculum--including a devOps unit to help get projects deployed--many other camps didn’t offer devOps. 4) They had great reviews and great employment outcomes. When I started the bootcamp I was teaching, coordinating concerts, making lesson plans and carving out as much time as possible for Python and JavaScript. When I finished I was working as a QA and finding more and more connections between my work and what I learned in my bootcamp. As a graduate now looking back, I genuinely feel devCodeCamp was the right place for me. The content was challenging, rigorous and overwhelming at times, but every week I would get on a call with my instructors and they would help me untie the knots I inadvertently put in my code and get me back on the right track. I even received support during weekends on several occasions even though instructors had no obligation to help me till Monday. They were/are invested in their students. I was also extremely grateful for the flexible timeline that allowed me to continue to provide for my family and to learn at a pace that worked best for me. Sometimes I finished the unit and the assignments but felt that my grasp of the content was still somewhat nebulous so I would spend another week or so on that content cleaning up the code or doing the bonus project to make sure I really understood the content and was actually ready to move on to the next set of concepts. This flexibility combined with my instructors willingness to meet me where I was made a huge difference for me. In addition, building my capstone--a meal planning grocery list app--was probably the most fulfilling and challenging part of the experience. The process of sending a proposal, writing user stories, using a kanban workflow, and receiving weekly accountability really helped to set me up for success. I came away from the experience excited to build more applications and add more functionality to the one I had just built. My wife and I actually use my app for our grocery bi-weekly shopping. The career services unit has likewise been excellent. I landed a job as a QA early on in the bootcamp by networking, but I am still working toward landing a coding job and there are numerous things I wouldn’t have known about resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn if not for the well made content they provided. The few cons I can think of with devCodeCamp are that some of the video lectures are long and somewhat abstract until after you have done the project. You may want to either watch them after completing the assignments or review them after completing the projects so the information has more meaning. There may also be times where your instructor won’t know how to solve a problem or says not to worry about an error message because the overall application still works. My advice with that is to take such times as a challenge to dig deeper and learn something new about the software that even your instructor doesn’t know. Changing careers and learning to code is not for the faint of heart, but if you are sure you like coding, feel ready to be humbled, and are genuinely committed, devCodeCamp is a great place to do it.

Before attending boot camp I had worked in the real estate industry. After my layoff, I decided that I needed a career switch and I was leaning towards a career as a Data Analyst. I did some research and decided on devCodeCamp. I spoke to one of their... Read More onboarding staff and she did a wonderful job assisting me in realizing that Data Analysis was the path I needed to take! She helped me through the entire process of signing up, and getting financial aid, and encouraged me since I was really nervous! I had NEVER coded or done much tech-related before!! As a student at devCodeCamp I was completely impressed at how the curriculum was laid out and the flexibility the entire course had. Each week you have lectures and demos to watch as well as written documents that explain everything and provide examples. You then get to put all of that to work in various labs, problems, and projects. Anytime you have a question you have access to the instructors via Slack and they will be there quickly to help you out! The instructors give you feedback using modern tools such as a recording of themselves explaining the issue you are having, or they hop into a Zoom meeting with you. They can even port into your computer and work on a solution together with you!!! If you are considering enrolling, do your research, read the reviews and I feel that you will reach the same conclusion that I did! devCodeCamp has been an awesome experience and I am very happy with the results! They were able to take someone like me who has never coded before, and teach them how to code, go through the whole process as a Data Analyst and complete many projects and end up with a 4.0 at graduation!! When you graduate, they also have Career Services who will guide you through writing your resume, LinkedIn, and any other tools to help you be successful in finding your first tech job!! The instructors and staff at devCodeCamp are very professional, kind, supportive, and amazing at what they do!!! I can't recommend them enough!! I now have a bright future ahead of me, being able to do something I love and having complete confidence in knowing that I will be successful because of the knowledge and skills I have learned at devCodeCamp.!!
