Rocket Academy

Being a bootcamp, the pace of the course is definitely quick. However I felt that RA's environment was very conducive for learning. 1. The syllabus is good! 2. The instructors are extremely passionate and give tremendous support (my instructor was Kai)... Read More 3. The community is great! - RA is selective of it's students which also means that your peers are super driven :) All in all, RA is awesome because it doesn't just teach web development/coding, it also teaches you how to solve problems independently and also communicate effectively. Rocket Academy though a slightly new bootcamp, should definitely be on the top of your list :) !

I attended the bootcamp in batch 2. I liked how we focused on projects (learning by doing), and the range of inspiring ideas from conversations with my peers, digging around stack overflow, and weekly guest speaker Q&As. My instructor (Akira) was really... Read More knowledgeable and reliable, helping us with our questions. Would recommend to friends or anyone who wants to learn development of web and self!

I came in with zero knowledge on coding and although I'm not a coding genius YET, I've learned a lot from attending this class. The material was well done up and teachers (section leaders as we call them) were extremely helpful! 11/10 would recommend... Read More :)

I attended the 6-weeks coding basics course taught in JavaScript. It was a really great experience! Tinaes, our instructor, is helpful and knowledgeable. The course was well paced for beginners to more advanced learners (having different levels of difficulty... Read More for practice). By the end of the course, we build 3 games and learnt many coding concepts. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn the basics of coding or explore a career in software dev!

Material can be a bit challenging if it is taken by a real "basic - no coding experience" person. But overall you will learn something new and even it will push you to do more. Course structure "in-class material" + "pair programming" is really good.... Read More I think it helps you to think independently.

Pros - learn better about the function while creating new games - Learn from other while pairing with each other - creating games while having self achievement - pre-class lesson, we can take time to learn before class cons - Project need more time to... Read More do

The curriculum was well designed. It really teaches me how to solve problems and I have learned the basics of Javascript. The instructors were also very friendly and helpful to assist students with any problems faced with the projects. Overall I enjoyed... Read More the 6 weeks course and would definitely recommend my friends to join!

Pros: - Pair programming - Responsive instructors Cons: -Might not suit everyone (self directed learning) Great basics course for newcomers to coding. Overall quite fun, and to see projects come to live was quite motivating. Instructors were responsive... Read More and helpful.

RA bootcamp is free, honestly that is the biggest draw. Materials are already online, but joining the course forces you to be disciplined and also gives you a section leader and section mates who will guide you and progress together with you. Highly recommended.... Read More

Did RA's coding basics course and really enjoyed it. You need to make time to do the pre-class work, so make sure you have time. Really appreciated that there's a lot of support from the very patient instructors. They don't spoonfeed you, they nudge you... Read More in the right direction. I recommend this course to anyone looking to dip their toe into coding. In 6 weeks I now have some sort of understanding of how to read code, how things are structured. Well structured way to learning the concepts, which will help in my tech job. The combo of pre-class work and pair programming helped to understand the concepts.
