I attended App Academy in July 2017. Overall, my experience was positive and I think the course gave me the tools I need to get a job as a web developer.
Pros:
- Great curriculum: The pace is extremely fast and it constantly feels like you're barely keeping up but the structure of the course with the weekly assessments keeps you on track and at the end, you realize you know more that you think you do.

I attended App Academy in July 2017. Overall, my experience was positive and I think the course gave me the tools I need to get a job as a web developer.
Pros:
- Great curriculum: The pace is extremely fast and it constantly feels like you're barely keeping up but the structure of the course with the weekly assessments keeps you on track and at the end, you realize you know more that you think you do.
- Great staff: The Instructors / TAs are available to answer questions throughout the day and they're good at helping you arrive at the right solution to the problem instead of feeding you the answers.
- Projects: You leave the program with 3 projects on your resume which you've built on your own.
Cons:
- As the other reviews mention, expect to spend 90+ hours a week doing this. You will have very little time to do anything else.
- With the speed of the course and the weekly assessments, it can be very easy to fall behind and there's little to no time to catch up.
- The end of the course can seem a bit rushed as you rush to complete your resume and portfolio and start applying to jobs.
