The long verison:
I was in the most recent cohort, Jan 2018-April 2018. I had an excellent experience. Trip and Tom are awesome teachers. Trip was our main instructor and he is REALLY fantastic at explaining difficult concepts, and clearly puts a great deal of thought into how he delivers information in order for the students to understand it best. It's pretty incredible how quickly they get you up and running, and in a lasting way - you aren't simply memorizing, you're really, truly learning.
By then end of the course, you will have the skills you need to be a junior full stack developer. I had no prior javascript knowledge going into the course, and before the course ended I accepted a job offer as a junior React developer here in Charleston. I'm in my first few weeks of the job now and it's going really well - I feel like I was well prepared, and my employers are surprised at how much I know already.
Like any course, or really anything in life, you do need to apply yourself. Trip and Tom will point you toward the right door, maybe even turn the handle a bit for you, but you have to push the door open and walk through it yourself if you want to get the most out of the course (as it should be). They are encouraging of this and they create a really positive learning environment. Trip is especially sensitive to the emotional dynamic of the class, which I really appreicated - he is empathetic to the frustration that comes with learning and does his best to keep everyone positive and in good spirits even through the toughest parts of the course.
Scool-life-balance: In the beginning there is not any homework. Any extracurriculars you do are up to you. I probably spent one night a week studying after hours to hammer in some concepts, which I'd recommend doing as a bare minimum. Once you get into the last 3 or 4 weeks of the course, you will be doing a good deal of work after hours to finish your final project. I know some folks had part time jobs outside of class, and if you have to do that you can pull it off - BUT, if you are forutnate enough to not have to work while in the course, I'd really recommend not working and just focusing on your studies.
This is all to say: this course ROCKS and is well worth the time and money. If you're trying to change careers, this is a really fantastic way to do it. By the time our cohort graduated, half the class either already had jobs or were pretty far along in the interview process. JRS rules!!!!!!!

Says: Web Dev Fundamental Graduate
I always wanted to learn code since I was getting into college and after. Just different career opportunities came along the way and I never got to it. I sawI always wanted to learn code since I was getting into college and after. Just different career opportunities came along the way and I never got to it. I saw Nucamp when reserching Bootcamp's. Nucamp had really good reviews and also worked really well with my schedule as I have a full time job and a Family with 2 little ones. Even at that, I wondered if I could pull the trigger on it financially and mentally. After speaking with a counselor or recruiter, they eased my mind and Nucamp's payment otpions really are great and make it afforable witht he loan options.
Going throw the first step which was Web Development Fundamental(4 week course) was challenging since I really didn't know much about code. But, the videos, curricuelum and instructior we had really made it easier to learn from square one to the end. That being said, I still have a ton to learn and coding is no joke. There is a lot to it and I know I just scratched the surface with the Web-Dev 4 week course. I highly recommend doing this course if you have no experience in coding. It really lays the foundation down which is html. You need to know that before you go into anything else.
I'm going to the Full stack next in about 3 weeks. I fully believe I will go through the Web-Dev fundamental curriculum again to get as much practice as possible before the Full Stack starts.
What do I aspire to achieve after the Bootcamps.. the path in the coding industry is still a little unclear but I love sports and I love golf nowadays. So It would be great to get into a company such as Taylormade, Cobra, Callaway, etc.. in there web design branch. That would be the dream. I also I know that the tech industry is not going anywhere and really any path I can get my foot into will be a sustainable job and I can branch with more experience once I get my foot in the door.
I look forward to the next step in the Full Stack and can't wait to see where this journey takes me.- 0Reviews8CoursesCODEcamp offers a series of 4-week evening courses and one-day intensive trainings for those looking to improve their current skills or learn new technologie...
