devCodeCamp

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.

The bootcamp is designed in a way to be for both beginners and more experienced individuals. Everyone can have a different starting point. The first topics covered are HTML and CSS which for some can be all new material but for others a refresher. The curriculum ramps up quickly as it moves to Javascript where the first few projects take place. Within a few weeks in everyone seems to level off equality due to the assignments, projects, and tasks start becoming more challenging but they are still great to learn from and are manageable if the effort is put in. From there on once good fundamentals are engraved into the students there is yet more technologies to learn such as C#, ASP.NET MVC 5, Entity Framework, Bootstrap, which was quite impressive considering that the technology stack lea...

After only a week into the program I felt like Neo from "the Matrix", Except instead of knowing Kung Fu, I knew HTML. It was amazing to see how fast we could learn each new concept or language. The instructors were masterful in keeping us engaged and helping us push ourselves. After Completing the course I am confident I have the skills to gain employment as a junior developer, my developer friends have confirmed this.

The decision to join devCodeCamp was definitely the best career decision I've ever made. My initial concerns were that this course was going to be way too much work for me. And in the beginning, it was a little overwhelming with how much information I was getting and how fast our course work was moving. However, once I got into the swing of things (and got used to the 7am start time) everything suddenly seemed to be much more manageable. The course was tough to be sure but was incredibly rewarding! The course work was always fun and engaging. I never had a project that I didn’t want to be doing. This was especially surprising to me because of my time in traditional education. Any time I would get an assignment from my professors at UWM, I would groan a hefty groan. So to be work...

Stay motivated and take this course seriously. You will be rewarded.

Ten years ago, after graduating high school, I started attending college for computer programming. I completed some courses, but life moved me in a different direction. Fast forward to June 2018, I decided to make a move back toward my goal of being a programmer. I have a friend who had gone through devCodeCamp and had landed an incredible job shortly after graduation, so I decided to also attend.

I’m not going to sugar-coat anything. The program is incredibly challenging. It is a fast-paced, full-time course where the goal is to go from zero experience to being ready for a real junior software developer job in 12 weeks. The course is built around solving real-world business problems the same way you would on the job. Google and Microsoft documentation will become your best friend! ...
