Prior to joining this bootcamp, I was doubtful of my skills in development and was having troubles wrapping my head around complex topics. But from the first day in, the way my educators explained concepts, allowed us to put those concepts into practice, and later cement those topics by utilizing them in larger projects, helped me tremendously. I can confidently say that I am now a full stack developer! And the best part is that I got to do it with new friends from my cohort. Both educators and other students. Once again, thanks BrainStation!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -
