Recent Review:

As a seasoned product manager and marketing business owner, I always wondered what it would be like to program every day and improve my skills in web development. I took the opportunity and time to invest in myself during Summer 14, and chose to come to Portland and Epicodus after comparing them to SF Bay Area alternatives. Epicodus was less established than some well-known programs in the Bay ...

This course is perfect for people who've just started web development and know nothing or very little about it. In Skylab they teach you everything from scratch in 3 months! It's mindblowing to think that in 3 months you can go from knowing nothing of web development to having a job. The only con I could find is that if you already have knowledge and experience working in web development you ...

NOTE: The curriculum has been updated from 15 weeks to a 6 month format. For those who are financially or logistically unable to attend a full-time in-classroom or virtual classroom program but still want to get as close to the level of rigor and quality of those programs, this is a great alternative. Who will have a 5 star experience with this program? - People who are certain they want to ...

During the 14 weeks I have acquired the skills to adapt in rigid environments and solve problems in a very limited time. My perspective for software development has changed, I have become more efficient when it comes to my computer and development in general. To put it in few words, through this boot-camp I learned how to learn. Recommend anyone who is interested to improve and take it to the ...

I took the course and loved it's intense pace and friendly environment. Then I graduated and got a job relatively quickly (in my case I wasn't even looking for one). So it is great for that. I was one of the first courses (3rd I believe) and I stuck around because I was curious of how the academy grew and the new graduates (also because I kept learning even after I graduated). As someone who ...

Having left school at 18 and wanting to persue a career in software development, I knew university was not the best option. Mayden Academy has fast tracked my career and helped me get a job that I wouldn't have been able to get without a degree, 3 years faster and far cheaper than University could. The most valuable things I learnt were, project estimations / planning, teamwork, many new ...

Alpha Camp provided me the necessary basic skills and knowledge I needed for my work as a Marketing Manager in a mid-size company. In these days and age, marketing is no longer just offline ; rather it is an integration of both offline and online. Hence, this is one course that is good in equipping marketeers to master digital marketing know-how, jargons and technical knowledge on analysis so ...

PROS: Excellent core staff, huge support group, just awesome CONS: I moved to Chicago just to attend the program, so the expense of rent was a con. However, this was offset by the low cost of the program. Such an amazing benefit for us veterans! It was the perfect transition after terminal leave, highly recommended

My experience with Bogota Bootcamp was excellent. I enjoyed the course and got a lot out of it.

TTS Raleigh was a positive experience! I had been interested in learning HTML / CSS for the past year or so, and it gave me the push I needed to get motivated and start building my own website. Our instructor was very knowledgable on the course material, and he was friendly and eager to help us and answer our questions. When the class ended, we got digital copies of all the material and class ...

13. Hack Reactor

There are many bootcamps teaching Ruby on Rails, but not that many which focus on Javascript. Hack Reactor is one of them and has the best student reviews on SwitchUp.Org. Almost 30 five-star reviews have solidified them as the best coding bootcamps in the country. (View In-Depth Report)

Recent Review:

For the first half of 3 months, they just offered CS lectures and some Toy problems, which you can find out on github and online course easily for free. They're exaggerating their quality of curriculum. But, there are too many students for instructors in this program. The rest of the program, they just let us be free for group projects. "Autonomy is important for software engineers" is their ...

Code school is a great way to jump start a new career, maybe even get a job, in just 3 months (or longer for part-time). It's encouraging to make the journey alongside others in the same boat as you. Having a professional available to guide you through the curriculum is invaluable. You only get out of it what you put in—work hard, study hard, and repeat, and it will pay off. The onus is on you ...

Code Chrysalis provided us with much more than a regular full-stack bootcamp will probably do. I was able to acquire all the backend skills(I was a frontend developer) that I was hoping to learn, but also there were great opportunities that I didn't expect to have before the course. I'll mention 3 of them. (1) Learn how to learn - You get to learn how to learn new things and how to solve ...

8-weeks can really fly bye.. This 8 week course taught me more in the first 2 weeks then I learned during my first year at computer science. Really hands on, they make you learn by trial and error. What is extremely helpful is the numerous TA's that are always there to help you when you get stuck. Highly recommend if you need to learn the ins and outs of developing application from the ground ...

After finishing the 13-week bootcamp at CoderSpace, I can safely advise anyone who considers this course to please avoid it. Their website promises a lot regarding the quality of the course, teachers, support and the learning curve, but these promises have not been met. I would like to focus on the two main aspects: quality of teaching and quality of career support. Quality of teaching ...
