As the Software Developer Boot camp description states, this is a program that will teach you a little about a lot. It was perfect for me as I wasn't quite sure what languages/frameworks I wanted to pursue initially. It covered many areas giving me the skills to land an entry-level position. The Python Live Project was a ton of fun. You get to work on a development team using Azure DevOps and Agile/Scrum. This is great for giving you an idea of what it will be like working on a real team once you have completed your boot camp. The instructors are great, but you have to be comfortable asking for help when you need it. Instead of giving you the answers outright, they will help you work through the problems so that you can ultimately solve them on your own. The Job Placement team is probably the greatest resource from this school. Forest holds a Weekly Roundtable where you can practice your soft skills as well as technical skills in a group setting. This is a great place to start especially if you are nervous about the interview process. Once you make it to the Jop Placement course, the team will review your resume and cover letters. Then you can set up as many mock interviews as you need to practice your soft and technical skills one-on-one. USE THIS TO YOUR FULL ADVANTAGE! Pros: - Good Spread of Topics and Languages Covered - Flexible Hours - 2 Live Projects involving your own code and working with legacy code - Remote Option Available - Incredible Job Placement Support - Everyone from school is kind and you can tell they truly want to help you succeed - Weekly Tech Talks that are informative as well as an avenue to start Networking - They understand and stress the importance of building your Network vs Relying just on online applications - Knowledgeable and Relatable Instructors: Many have been through the boot camp themselves and know what you are going through. Cons: - DO NOT SIGN AN ISA FOR THIS BOOT CAMP. 14% is higher than other schools and you have to start repaying at $30k income vs $50k at other schools. Also, this specific boot camp is very surface level. It is not worth the 35K you end up paying with an ISA. - Not for you if you want to deep-dive a specific language - ZERO Test-Driven Development - Not enough hands-on C# in the C# Live Project - Online Curriculum only has pre-recorded lectures - Online Curriculum has some out of date videos (Caused some confusion during some follow-along assignments) - Front-End (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) consists of too many follow-along and copy the code assignments. I find this a hard way to retain concepts. - Too much emphasis on the volume of applications sent vs. taking your time to research and setting yourself up to hear back from companies that mean something to you.
