Before I begin my review, I want to give a shout out to my academic success manager Cali. She has been absolutely awesome through my whole time through the program. She is quick to reply to emails or slack messages and she reached for me when I had no idea how to. Second shout is to Victor, who was my mentor during the program, and has taught me a lot. He pushed me to really think about naming conventions (functions, classes). I enjoyed our talks and helped me become a better programmer.
In terms of the actual program. There are bits and pieces where there is some dry reading. Hopefully they change that or implement some video series to break it up. Overall though, all the information you need to get into the tech industry is there, I have learned so much in the last few months. I would honestly referer someone to Thinkful if they were considering coding. The "go at your own pace" really worked well for me and my schedule since it can be unpredictable and it allowed for my dog to not interrupt me during class times.
Overall, One of the best schooling experiences I have ever had. If you are willing to work with them, they will work with you and your needs. |
| | Logan Ellis | So, I just completed the Thinkful bootcamp and I definitely think it's well worth the money. The course material felt like updated stuff, and they definitely challenge you. I feel confident that I am ready for the workforce.
I will say that this bootcamp is challenging, and you can't just slide through. If you want to do bare minimum do not do this bootcamp. If you want to be challenged and learn, then this bootcamp is great for you.
I did the Enginerring Flex program and honestly I think it's best because you get to pick when you work on it, and they match you with a mentor that you meet with twice a week and on your schedule.
I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to fast track their learning of coding. |
