I attended TTA C# and .NET bootcamp in 2019. I was a total newbie to coding, looking to shift industries away from entertainment and into something with more stability. The education from TTA was great, very ground-up, introducing me first to overall concepts such as how to think about web development, and how to think about and tackle problems when I encounter them, which are skills and tactics that I use in my job today. Throughout the bootcamp, I learned fundamentals of many languages, so when I completed the program and realized I didn't want to focus on C# for my career, I had the foundation necessary to shift directions and move into React development without much extra education, now that I had the fundamentals down, I was able to quickly learn from self-guided free courses. The job placement team continued to work with me and provide guidance as I tried to decide exactly which career path to pursue, and Forest was great at making recommendation for job search tactics to target the types of companies I was looking to work for. The Live Project was great, incredibly valuable, and made it easy once I started my full time job to enter into meetings knowing that I have the confidence to talk about my work. My two cons for the program are that I wished I had a more personal relationship with the instructors, and I wish that I had been able to decide mid-program that I wanted to pursue a different path, and make that transition seamless and not requiring extra payment. |
