As many this past year, I was furloughed early in 2020 and knew I needed to get out of my retail management career. I took a few programming classes in college and remembered enjoying it. However, I had not touched any programming in over 7 years. This is what got me interested in a coding boot camp. I landed on DevCodeCamp for many reasons, but one thing that stood out to me was the class sizes. In college, I remembered classes of 50 plus people and wanted no part of that. During my entire time at devCodeCamp, I never once felt like my voice was not heard or drownd out by the group. All the instructors were supportive and knowledgeable from the start. They constantly would implore us to reach out with our questions. I had MANY. I never felt like being remote was an issue. However, just like with any schooling: what you put into it is what you will get out of it. You have to bring your A-game because it's not easy and you will be on a lot of Zoom calls and coding nonstop. People aren't wrong when they say it's like drinking from a firehose. We learned so much so quickly and applied everything we learned in endless projects. There were a few times I finished a project early and they handed me a bonus project so I would not lose the chance to keep coding and learning. If I were to go back in time, I would change many things in my life, but I would still pick devCodeCamp. |
