| Dylan Nguyen | I'm sure we can all agree that we were nervous and unsure about attending a Bootcamp before we got into it but my experience with Codify Academy was nothing short of amazing. I was still in the beginning stages of my C.S classes in college and always knew that I wanted to be a full-time dev but didn't know how to get started. C.A was able to provide me with the direction and support to help me understand what I couldn't on my own. The mentors were great - they created the perfect atmosphere for people who had never been exposed to code which made it easier for everyone to understand the content. Next to the curriculum, I feel the most valuable thing that they taught was the ability to learn something new and being able to apply it to something else. *This is a message to all of those who think negatively of C.A or who had a "bad experience" - You can't just show up 60% of the time, not do the work, or participate and expect that you'll get a job at the end of it. If you REALLY want to to make something work and if you REALLY want that job then you should be willing to put in the work to understand the material. You can't say that this program doesn't work because MANY OTHERS and MYSELF included have LANDED DEV JOBS months after graduating the program. I will be honest and say that I've thought about giving up so many times during the job hunt but I knew that that job was just right around the corner so that kept me going. I now work as a Lead Dev for the Ecommerce team of a retail company! I wouldn't have ever made it this far if it wasn't for the C.A Mentors and Founders. |
