These past few months have been quite a journey. This bootcamp will push and challenge you in ways you didn't think were possible. I went from knowing little to nothing about programming to creating a full fledge application in under two months.
App Academy is very selective of their enrollees right from the start during the admission process. Although the experience differs for each student, it typically involves submitting a coding challenge on a few common problems once you're ready. If you make through that part, you have to endure a technical interview where you cover a few more problems live over Skype followed by a non-technical interview to assess what makes you a candidate for their program.
If accepted to the program, you go through an at-your-pace online alpha curriculum that covers the basics of programming before you start the bootcamp. The bootcamp covers three months of education: 8 weeks of the coding curriculum followed by 4 weeks of projects/job search curriculum. During the 8 weeks of coding curriculum, you will learning everything you need to know about the fullstack process from backend to frontend. Also, during these 8 weeks, you will be tested on your knowledge of the material every 1 to 1.5 weeks through an assessment. Failing two assessments will dismiss you from the program. Even the brightest of students fail an assessment. The assessments are there to help maintain the quality of students coming out of App Academy as well as provide structure for students.
The structure is something you cannot get out of learning the material on your own. It forces students to learn the material as well as learn how to learn new material as technology changes in the job market. Every day, you go through a lecture in the morning starting at 8 AM followed by programming (usually paired) till 6 pm. Every night you will have readings and homework. During the day, App Academy has a strike system that ensures you are focused on learning, being present and doing your homework. This is also another area that can get students dismissed if they accrue enough strikes. Despite all these challenges, the time you have at App Academy will be among the best in your life. You will make great friends who will be your network entering the job market. The staff is also very dedicated to ensuring you succeed in the job market as an eventual software developer. They're always on hand to help answer any questions you have about the material or the program. Nearly everyone on staff has also gone through the curriculum and know of its challenges. They have also seen the program work for many students.
