Is it a bad idea to go to a bootcamp that teaches C# instead of javascript?
I want to learn C# for my own hobbies as well. I'm changing careers and will be attending a bootcamp. I figure I can knock out two birds with one stone if I go to one for C#. I know however that the industry is much more javascript-leaning. So I'd be hurting myself by not going the JS route. There are much more jobs for JS.
Are there any bootcamps that teach both? I suppose if there were, they'd lack in depth though.
A lot of it comes down to where you are located and what type of work you will want to do afterwards. Yes JavaScript is the most in demand programming language and shows no sign of slowing down. With that being said there are still a lot of job markets where C# is in demand and especially areas where there are lots of gaming companies. Here in Southern California we focus on JavaScript because it far outweighs any other language. Another thing to keep in mind is what you will enjoy learning more. If C# aligns better with your hobbies then it'll be much easier to spend hours on end practicing it. Many coding languages share similar structures and once you know one very well you can pick up the others easily. Be careful of programs that teach multiple stacks as you end up spreading ...
October 16, 2018I plan on attending a bootcamp. I'd also really love if in my future I was able to live in the EU. I want to for a multitude of reasons, but those are irrelevant.
I figure I should look at bootcamps in Europe and attend one and this could help me get on track towards moving to europe and living there permanently. However this could backfire I suppose.
I hear that companies must try to hire citizens before foreigners, so this would make it harder for me to find a job. Also if I did have to move back home to the U.S., I feel like bootcamps really help you find jobs, but I feel like they only help you find jobs in the city that the bootcamp takes place in, and only have local connections.
It seems like a good idea but I don't have much knowledge/experience in this regard so it could easily ...
what are the pre-reqs for UX Design
I am a make-up artist and I am planning a career-switch to UX Design without any software or programming background. I had few questions, does the UX Design course require any prerequisites for software or programming knowledge? Is there any advantage of learning on-campus vs online where lot of bootcamps/academy offer online?
I qualify for a government program called Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) that will pay for my schooling. I have been turned down by several bootcamps so far only because they don't accept the way the government reimburses them. I'm would love to find a school that's already familiar with this process, and ideally has accepted students this way before.
I prefer a web development online program, but am open to alternatives and would go in person if necessary.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hey Ryan, I believe Coding Dojo had a few students in the past with the TAA funding. Email info@codingdojo.com to get more information. Minyu
August 28, 2018What should I look for in terms of hiring statistics when looking for a boot camp to attend?
I have a bachelors in Business Management that I've supplemented with over 10-years of small business management to great success, but at the same time I could've dropped out of high school and had the same degree of success I'm experiencing. In short, I feel completely let down from having gone to college and getting saddled with student loans to never get a job that would pay me a living wage. I want to attend a bootcamp because I know I could excel in the environment and achieve success at the boot camp, but I'm worried that it's just going to be another 17k down the drain and more disappointment. That being said beyond a potential assurance that if I don't get a job the boot camp doesn't get paid what should I be looking for both positive and negative in regards to potential job ...
Here's a few things I would consider: - who is included in the statistics (are people who didn't graduate included, what about people who gave up looking for a software engineering job and took another job) - are people who are hired by the bootcamp included in the statistics? This can inflate the hiring rates (I don't think that hiring alums to be instructors is a bad thing, a few of my instructors were alums and they were good teachers, just be wary of the stats) - How long it takes people to find a job after graduating? When are they counting from? Keep in mind that the process is slow, so even if someone has great luck and is offered the very first job they interview for, it will probably take at least 6 weeks for them to be hired. I think 3-6 months is pretty typical.But if most ...
August 24, 2018I have an AS in computer science and previous experience working as a NOC technician (WAN) but currently my most recent positions have been in customer service and I'd like to get back to the tech field and have an interest in data science. I would like to attend a DS boot camp before returning to school for my BS but wanted to know from your community how those without BS degrees and related tech/programming experience have faired in data science, job wise. What DS school would you recommend for me? I've looked at Thinkful (new DS program, but have job guarantee for those with a BS, my first choice), GA (pricey), Springboard (DataCamp affiliation concerns me, not sure if courses are job readied}, K2(which you call PeaksAcademy concerned about company's stability, removed a lot of ...
UX programs in the Bay Area with tuition deferred or apprenticeship programs
Does anyone know of any UX programs in the Bay Area with tuition deferred or apprenticeship programs to help offset the cost? I'm interested in something like Whitespace but don't fit the demographic they're looking for. They do a mixture of classroom instruction and an on-site apprenticeship which would be a good fit for me. I'd prefer an in-person to an on-line program but don't have 15K to spend. I'm switching from another design discipline so I know most of the tools and some of the methodology, it's the tech-specific skills I need the most. Thanks
Is there an online coding bootcamp course that offers accessibility for a deaf, hoh student.
online videos would need to be transcribed, close captioned, or the notes provided in addition to the online video. Public institutions would have to be ADA compliant.
Holberton is not an online school, but our program is accessible for the deaf. We are are a newer school, so we are also learning the ropes to make sure we are meeting all our students' needs, and hope to grow our deaf community here at the school. There is absolutely no reason why deafness or hear of hearing should ever stop someone from becoming a software engineer. check us out at https://www.holbertonschool.com
