Web Dev Camp

During the time of HTML and CSS, I picked up the material in a moderate pace. Once JavaScript came around, though, it became very difficult to absorb most of the material. It felt very rushed after that. But, I did learn a good amount through the entirety... Read More of the course.

Good additional educations but missing some background information about how to do. Good help to get better and better based jobs. Learned many things about ecmascript 6. Good a good community and some good mentors. Verry good videos helps by learning... Read More

The main problem is there is no team work in Udacity and I wish i see it in future courses. on the other hand, the course is very informative and add a value to your CV and yourself by learning by doing and they support us a lot to achieve graduation... Read More requirements.

This program is made with real time projects and mentor support. I have taken this program and it helped me a lot. You will be doing projects along with learning. also most interesting, your project will be reviewed by mentors and they will give you good... Read More suggestions which will improve your skill a lot. I love this type of learning.

Good explanation, Step by Step progress. Challenging tasks, Help on demand. Reminder about the tasks.
Allow backup to the code so you can check anytime after that as well. All of these make it easy for learning and you can useful knowledge about the program.... Read More I am very satisfied with my course and it help me a lot as well.

Intensive courses are under-staffed and those employed are unlikely to give you an hour of their time every 24-48 hours despite the hefty $200 paid for "on-demand support"... Further to this, all the content of the intensive is the exact same as what... Read More you get for the normal 10-20$ or however much they charge you monthly as a basic pro member. So in effect that extra entrance fee should be for the teachers' to take the time out of their ever so busy lives to help you 1 on 1 for a little longer than their set limit of a few hours a week... especially since there's around 1000 members per course and only 4 staff members... good luck with that, where's my refund.

Having come into the program with almost 0 experience, it has been rewarding. However, that being said there are some drawbacks that need to be mentioned first. The course content is not detailed and more often than not links for extra reading is provided,... Read More which, considering the cost of the course, is unheard of. This isn't to say that it is unintelligible, but it would be nice to have a fully broken down explanation of a concept, as more often than not the content does not show the whole picture, and you will find that the concepts that go over your head in the start (which happens a lot!) will start to make sense later on in the course, though if explained at the time it could have been helpful. And while the instructors are accommodating of questions, they blow through the content, which may or may not be their own fault -- just the way the system is set up. The point of projects is to get the whole class up to speed, and is usually where one will solve most of their doubts of things learned thus far, however many doubts revolve around fundamentals that create easily avoidable problems, even after project 1 (total of 4 projects). In retrospect Through this course what I realized is that they are simply teaching you to *learn how to code*, and promotes a culture of self-learning alongside communal learning, which is mentioned on day 1.

Make no mistake by thinking this will turn you into a Comp Sci expert, this course ONLY teaches the fundamentals of all their offered content, which is a bummer considering the cost, again. We started with HTML, CSS and node.js, moved on to ruby on rails for 1.5 weeks, then express and react. After learning ruby fundamentals, its time for project 2, and there is no mention of ruby on rails at all after unless its your final project. So, go into the course expecting to learn ONLY HTML, CSS, and Javascript (JS libraries and frameworks, which are remarkable), the backend language part is a farce and almost a bad joke. When you finish, you do not feel like you are ready to get a job, and most people in your class would agree with this, but this is where you're wrong. The shortage of developers in tech is why most grads get hired, expect to do bulk of your learning on the job. And beware of stagnation, as most bootcamp devs with 0 experience and involvement in the industry prior to enrolment will be stuck at entry level jobs for the better part of a decade at least. So in respect to all these trade schools, don't buy into the hype.

If you want to learn how to code and begin your journey in tech, *and find a stable job with decent pay* (the ISP of this and all tech bootcamps), look no further.

my advice to someone interested is this: be prepared to do a lot of learning on your own, and when things get tough, don't quit. You get what you put into it, and if you work hard and diligently, you can become a great developer. But that isn't to say that things can't improve.

Worst online courses out there, stay away!!!

I was looking for an online course in Web Development that I could do next to my full time job, mainly on the weekends. I have tried the free versions offered by CodeAcademy and freeCodeCamp which were really... Read More good and that convinced me to take the next step and look for a proper paid course. In the end I was deciding between freeCodeCamp and the one offered by The Learning People, and TLP have convinced me to use their offering because they're offering Tutoring on top of the online program. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!! This online program is so bad in terms of quality (the tutor videos), content (content contains gaps so it is hard to follow what is being taught, the questions and challenges are poorly phrased so it is hard to understand what they are asking for, the questions are messy jumping from hard to way too easy, back to hard instead of building up and they're all asked at the end of a session containing several topics instead of after each topic, hints are useless as they are way too basic something like "if you want to take this course you make sure you are connected to the internet") there is no handout material or anything to support the learning.

After complaining about the content they have said to me I can skip sessions - well thanks for the offer but I have paid for this course and I am taking it to learn this stuff??!
Mentoring is only offered during office hours and one day a week until 9pm UK time which is not an option for me as I have a full time job. And my personal mentor doesn't respond to my emails, apparently he has left the company so I will be getting a new one.
They just didn't put any effort into this online course at all and I can only advice people looking for a part time offering to stay away from this programme! I won't waste my time on this and finish it, but instead join another course offered by a different provider. They've charged me £5,000 for nothing and are not even willing to offer me parts of my money back. I am actually thinking about getting a lawyer involved as they are just not delivering what they have promised.

I wish I could give them zero stars.
