Nucamp

I've been through a lot of different online courses, including Thinkful. I was so excited to start Nucamp because of the affordability and the syllabus looked like something that could actually be accomplished and not a bunch of coursework without the... Read More extra resources and any help, if necessary. You really do have to stay motivated throughout and keep yourself on topic. I really loved going through the bootstrap course! It was a new thing for me - since I've never attempted Bootstrap on my own. The course was affordable and I felt that since the classes were smaller, it was geared more towards each student's progress. The instructor, Olivia, was amazing as well. I definitely enjoyed the past 5 weeks going through it. I can't wait to start React in a couple of weeks.

As someone who has both a learning disability and struggles with ADHD, this was the first time I successfully finished a course. I genuinely believe that if someone like me can learn anyone can learn. I never thought I'd ever be able to learn how to code... Read More because I struggled for years trying to stay motivated. Albeit, I am still working my way through the program, the feeling of overcoming the fundamental hump feels good.  NuCamp's structured classes, supportive community, and instructors helped motivate me to stay on track with the course and not give up. Lessons are broken down into chunks so it's easier to understand and digest. If you run into issues, classmates and instructors will jump in to assist and provide guidance.  I specifically picked this program because it was budget friendly and it offered the structure that I needed to be successful.  Something people have to realize when they sign up for coding bootcamps in general is there are no shortcuts or magic bullet for learning. You have to have realistic expectations going in so you don't set yourself up for failure. You learn through practice and having a supportive community helps. Ultimately, your success lies heavily on your own efforts and motivation.  When taking the course there is an expectation that majority of your time will be self-study and lots of practice using multiple resources both in-house and out. I truly believe this NuCamp's bootcamp gave me a boost of confidence that I needed to work towards my career goals and projects. I am ecstatic about working on personal projects and can't wait to learn more. I highly recommend this program to those who want to learn coding, but lack the confidence or support.

Backend Development with Python and SQL, Python Fundamentals: I had very brief Python exposure in my Computer Science program, our language was Java, but also, this was 7 years ago and I've since grown rusty in programming altogether.  I worked for a... Read More big multinational tech firm in the last 7 years,  but for projects where I felt I needed to improve my programming skills to 'get ahead'.   I want to become a 'programming-based tester' if I go back into Testing (Python Selenium), or alternatively build up to Python dev freelance work, or (Data Sci work) Dashboard Developer.  Every direction I'd want to go involves Python, even animation projects in Maya for fun.    NuCamp,   *far* exceeded my expectations for my goals.   The cadence of once a week workshops, well-designed work assignments, and encouraging instruction on my day off,  really gave me the push and guidance to learn *a LOT* in a short amount of time, but never felt "stuck" for too long.  So it was a wonderful experience of legitimate up-skilling.  I'm now very comfortable with coding in Python, after a quite intense 5 weeks, and will definitely  continue the momentum upwards provided by NuCamp.  Thank you!!!

NuCamp's Intro course is a crash course in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll walk away knowing the basics of all three languages, and it serves as a great jumping off point for future educational pursuits. I'll be taking an independent course on JavaScript... Read More to gain a more thorough understanding before moving on to other languages. You won't learn everything from this course, but you'll learn enough to be confident with the basics and knowing that there is more to code than a mixture of letters and numbers on a screen.

The Web Development Fundamentals course offered everything and more to help get me started in the coding field. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone interested in coding, especially if you cannot take a lot of time away from work. - Austin Hanson... Read More

I looked at bootcamps extensively before deciding on Nucamp, the more I dug into researching them the clearer it was that Nucamp was the right choice. The high reviews and a price point that won't put you in extensive debt. I just completed the fundamentals... Read More course and have enrolled for the next round of full-stack. So this review is only on the fundamentals course. The instructor was friendly, helpful, and available when I needed them. In addition to the in-person Saturday workshop, the instructor also hosted a Sunday zoom meeting for anyone needing further assistance with their workshop project, and a mid-week check-in zoom call to offer more help with the things you are learning throughout the week. My experience with Nucamp so far has exceeded expectations. The only thing that would have made it better for me (and to be honest this is nit-picking and something I would probably say about any bootcamp on the market) it would be helpful to me and how my brain processes information to have examples along the way of the different concepts as they would be used in real-life application, ex: you may not understand but this concept would be used on a fully functioning website to do X, this would have helped me understand WHY the concept was important.

A month ago I decided to enroll Nucamp HTML,CSS and JavaScript Fundamentals program. I was hesitant at first, not knowing what to expect from the hybrid teaching model. Today, I am very satisfy with the knowledge and skills I learn to continue my goal... Read More of becoming a Web Developer. I recommend this boot camp to anyone.

My choice for joining Nucamp was due to the fact I was interested in the basics of coding. I wanted to get familiar with HTML5, CSS3, and I wanted to learn more about JavaScript, and how it works. I looked at other boot camps, and I decided to give Nucamp... Read More a try. I looked over the website trying to find was it a good fit for me. Honestly, the price and curriculum were right compared to other boot camps. I had my doubts honestly speaking, but I Signed up jumped all in. I followed the directions. I asked questions. It was like an adventure before you know it trying to get things done, watching videos, reading, coding interacting with classmates. I started to see things take shape, and before you know it the videos, I had watched others do on YouTube I was now doing it in the comfort of my own home. I have come a long way in coding. I am better at researching now and executing code. I have a better understanding of reading errors, and all the tools I need to code. I have been given the opportunity to learn and I was able to afford the class. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn how to code to give Nucamp a try.

I'm a professional tinkerer and have been learning some coding here and there. Always looking for the free or under $20 type courses. Been toying with the idea of enrolling in a coding bootcamp but that can easily put you 10-20k in debt before you get... Read More a job. I've read some income sharing agreements and those things can be scary. Now here comes Nucamp a single ad on Instagram that changed everything for me. I started looking into it and there more I searched the better it kept getting. Finally the only thing left to do was get started. My experience has been great. Great instructors, very helpful community. Content was explained really well and the weekly projects keep that pressure on so that you keep pushing yourself. If you're like me and still looking at reviews, they are true and it is a great experience.

I've been in IT for 26 years and have always wanted to learn coding and because of some recent physical ailments I decided go ahead and do it so I will still have marketable skills if I am unable to get around for my IT support job. I had nucamp recommened... Read More to me by a former student and I am glad he did. The price was great, the course, materials and programs are all laid out for you which makes it so easy to concentrate on learning so that you can suceed. They also provide tons of web links to additional information that will help while your learning during the course and continued education beyond it. I am so glad that I made to choice to do the nucamp program. I completed the initial 4 week HTML, CCS & JavaScript course and have already signed up for the Full Stack Web + Mobile Development course.
