Nucamp

My experience at Nucamp, where I've been learning front-end and full-stack programming, has been incredibly rewarding. I can confidently say that I've learned a lot during my time here. The learning process at Nucamp is not just helpful but also engaging.... Read More In particular, I've had the opportunity to dive deeper into programming and expand my skills, especially in understanding and working with APIs. This has opened up new possibilities and improved my problem-solving abilities. Looking forward, I'm genuinely excited to explore the realm of different cloud connections in our full-stack courses. What makes Nucamp even more exceptional is the fun and collaborative atmosphere in their learning process. Learning here has been enjoyable, with a supportive community that encourages growth and creativity. I'd highly recommend Nucamp to anyone considering a coding bootcamp. Moreover, Nucamp's follow-up and caring culture have not gone unnoticed. It's evident that they are invested in their students' success, which adds tremendous value to the overall experience. So, if you're looking for a coding bootcamp that's both enriching and supportive, Nucamp is the perfect choice.

I enrolled at NuCamp after searching for months for a great bootcamp at an affordable price. NuCamp did not disappoint. The learning material was amazing, and I learned so much in a short amount of time, but I did have quite a bit of coding experience... Read More beforehand. I learned devops practices and containerization technologies which was completely new for me and was by far my favorite part of the whole bootcamp. I am now enrolled and on track to become a certified docker admin and azure developer through Azure and Docker. I will say though the job-hunting side has been null. NuCamp has an automated system that sends job postings that are no longer valid. So, keeping that updated would be really good. All of the apprentice and entry level job opportunities I have applied for (over 100) from links posted in NuCamp's job openings discord channel have turned up null as well. With a military background, some college, and a bootcamp completed, I have four projects on my GitHub, with a great understanding of programing, but without a BA, companies hardly look twice at you. Companies would rather take a freshie out of college with no experience over bootcamp graduates with skills and military backgrounds. Even the companies who have "partnerships" with NuCamp to hire their graduates, such as Accenture leave a lot of students', including my apps floating in limbo without even denying our application. The bootcamp was really great, had great material, and no matter what kind of background you come from, you will come out of it a better programmer. Just finding jobs in an oversaturated market seems to be very difficult. I ended up doing an experiment and listed on my indeed I had a BA in something unrelated to software such as liberal arts. And i got a ton of interviews after that, which proves companies do not even care if you have a software related degree, you can have whatever degree and they will still hire you and train you in their software language than hire a bootcamp graduate. which is very discouraging. The only thing I wish NuCamp offered was more advanced course in containerization technologies with the cloud services of our choosing. Like AWS charges you even in the free tier and educational material aws offers, but azure keeps everything free when you are going through their learning platform. So as a student being able to choose what cloud platform to learn would be very beneficial and give students the ability to specialize in one and become proficient at that one, instead of learning a little bit of all three cloud service providers. All in all I would say the bootcamp is worth it but be prepared to look into more cert programs such as official certs through docker or the cloud services so that you are more appealing to companies.

I took this course as a way to dip my feet into coding on the back end and see whether I would be interested in a long term career. Even as a beginner I felt the course was very manageable if you study and work at it. You do have to commit time to this... Read More process but it absolutley pays off. Having access to an instructor during the course was invaluable and helped me cruise through the course as well.

I enrolled in Nucamp because it was instructor lead and was affordable at $354 a month. The instructor was great quality but group participation was non-existent. Learned a lot and highly recommend over ISA bootcamps that really are a rip-off. Check them... Read More out.

When I first embarked on my coding journey, I knew that mastering React and React Native was crucial to achieve my dreams of becoming a proficient front-end and mobile developer. Nucamp's Front-End + Mobile Development course not only fulfilled my expectations... Read More but surpassed them in ways I could have never imagined. From the very beginning, the course structure and curriculum were tailored to provide hands-on learning experiences. As I delved into the world of React, the concepts I once found daunting became clearer with each week. The guidance and expertise of the instructors were invaluable, and their passion for teaching inspired me to push my boundaries and embrace new challenges fearlessly. What truly set Nucamp apart was the sense of community that developed among learners. The collaborative nature of the course encouraged us to work together, share ideas, and support one another. We celebrated each other's victories and rallied together during moments of confusion. This supportive environment fueled my motivation and reminded me that I was not alone on this transformative journey. Throughout the course, I was amazed by the real-world applicability of the projects we undertook. From building interactive web applications to crafting sleek and functional mobile apps with React Native, every task honed my skills and built my confidence. The sense of accomplishment upon completing each project was indescribable and instilled a newfound belief in my abilities. Beyond the technical aspects, the course taught me the significance of version control using Git and GitHub. This invaluable skill set not only streamlined my development process but also showcased my professionalism to potential employers. Above all, the sense of personal growth and empowerment I experienced with Nucamp was unparalleled. React and React Native, once elusive concepts, became my creative playground. The course ignited a passion for coding that drives me to explore new possibilities with every line of code I write. In the end, Nucamp's Front-End + Mobile Development course not only nurtured my love for development but also provided me with a supportive community that feels like a second family. I now stand equipped with the tools to carve my path in the world of web and mobile development, and I owe it all to Nucamp and its phenomenal instructors. To anyone seeking a transformative learning experience in React and React Native, I wholeheartedly recommend Nucamp. Prepare to unleash your true potential, learn alongside inspiring peers, and embark on a journey that will shape you both professionally and personally. Nucamp has been nothing short of a catalyst for my dreams, and I am forever grateful for this extraordinary adventure.

I wanted a change of career. It was overall a good experience, but I'm not sure it has enough practice or goes deep enough into the subjects to prepare for a future job. Thankfully, it's really affordable, but if you do this boot camp then supplement... Read More the weekly assignments with your own videos.

Enrolling in Nucamp was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've made for my career and personal growth. Before joining the boot camp, I was eager to transition into the tech industry but lacked the necessary skills and experience. After extensive research,... Read More I found Nucamp, which stood out due to its flexible part-time schedule and affordable pricing.

I enrolled in Nucamp as I was looking to gain skills in Full stack development and this seemed to be an affordable option with good ratings. I do not feel the same upon finishing Pros: 1. It's more affordable compared to other boot camps 2. Admin is responsive... Read More if you make requests for cohort change or anything Cons: 1. A mix of good and bad instructors, if you are lucky you will be in good hands. 2. Less time is given to work on the portfolio project. you need time to work along with the boot camp. 3. Content is not updated. The backend course for Node jS is 3 years old, React Native was an old one as well. Unfortunately, the instructor for Node was tricky to follow and as a result, I could not understand the backend at all. 4. The boot camp is less focused on building your concepts, It goes from basic to completely advanced topics. If you are new to full stack, I would not recommend this boot camp. I would have to turn to free courses on youtube or Codecademy to complete my understanding 5. Most of the students, Instructors are US based. The course talks about the Europe timeline, but there is hardly any set-up for Europe-based students. If you have prior experience you will be able to follow along. The Backend was totally a disaster for me. Overall I will give it a 2.5/5 rating. A recommendation is to evaluate your instructors properly and not test them with students who are paying you for the course. Its their time, money and energy you gamble against

NuCamp Started Great for Me with the Web Development course and led me to believe I could undertake this (a long time goal) to become a Full Stack Developer. I am a busy professional and it is challenging to carve out time when competing with things outside... Read More and often times not controllable. I found that there is a very big difference between instructors at NuCamp, and that starting off the bootstrap course required new concepts in setup of computing platforms and resources. And while I accomplished that (as I am a network engineer by trade and familiar with IT and compute platforms in general), I had to go back and redo the setup procedures between 2 different machines. While this was good practice I felt that the setup documentation was severely lacking and to make matters worse the course and instructor made no allowance for this and just simply went too fast through content to ever really be able to catch up. The time on Saturday's which started out good in the web development course we're really not 2 way in the Full Stack Course and it was just a one way verbatim of the week's summary slides, which I felt should have been more of a guided review with Q&A on the exercises and activities completed during the week. I am a technologist by trade for 20 years and an SVP of Engineering so my judgement should be a bit better than average, but I saw a lot of my other classmates seriously struggling as well. I really liked the principle and first experience of NuCamp, but have to say I was very disappointed in the failure to establish a good and positive feedback loop to the Full Stack course for students and the pace was just simply too fast to learn by watching a short youtube segment and then plowing through exercises only to get to Saturday and listen to a lecture on the summary slide of the week. I am disappointed in myself for not keeping up, and still have my goal of full stack development proficiency but I have to reassess if this format is a good one to learn from at the pace it is plowing through content with little time for Q&A. Still a NuCamp Fan but feel like a bit of care and better instructions should be devoted to purpose, intent, requirements and setup of tools needed to get your platform right and a little thumbs up to the class before rushing ahead and getting everyone weeks behind just running to catchup. As a technical person I like to hear: here is what you are going to install, this is what it allows your machine to do, this is the process overhead of how it affects computing platforms and the differences between directory and proper file structure management between courses, modules and technical tool requirements. Anyway, sadly this approach and pace to full stack failed for me and I would like to return again and attempt with a different instructor. While I am still being billed monthly the instructor cut off my access to course live workshops and never responded to my inquiries in what her recommendations would be to get caught up. Bootstrap was in fact one of the areas I was looking forward to most and just the beginning of the course, so very sad that I cannot listen along and try to absorb as much as possible for my next attempts... I am not giving up on learning but it looks like NuCamp is giving up on me.

After decades as a curious hobbyist coder, and a few years as a serious self-learning developer hopeful, I was stuck. I found Nucamp to be just what I was looking for. Affordable. Knowledgable instructors eager to lavish their time on you if you need... Read More it, but also nudging you first to learn how to figure things out on your own. A friendly and active community that you can keep after the camp is over. I was familiar with all the technologies we covered before I came to the camp. What nucamp provided was someone else's hard deadline, live human assistance, a team, and most importantly for me, the opportunity to help someone else work through their code. I think I learned the most there. No graduate is ready for their job as they walk across the stage to receive their diploma. But hopefully they have been given the tools and skills necessary to become so and continue to grow into their field. Nucamp does that. The curriculum does need to be updated somewhat. I could have used a bit more overt explanation on some topics, but that is what their extensive Resource section at the bottom of each assignment is for. They really do encourage you to wrestle on your own, and give you the resources to do that.
