    Solid foundation to start your career in the web dev world

    Here is my opinion on the reviews that say you could learn all this for a fraction of the cost in online courses and a couple of textbooks.  If you are a legend like Matt Damon and believe everyone who had any formal education “wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library,” then you are correct.  There is a wealth of knowledge online waiting to be consumed, and if you have the discipline and drive to teach yourself then you ca...

    A Good Investment for Me

    Wyncode in my opinion is a good investment in a nutshell, especially if you're someone who is new to the programming world and have zero to little knowledge. And that was exactly my experience with programming; I had none.

    The Wyncode experience will be different for everybody. Some will go with the intent of just learning where others will go with the intent of starting a career. I fell under the category of having the intent to start a career in programming. So I took the cours...

    Worth it.

    I had planned to start grad school ten days after completing Wyncode, but that all changed when I found something I genuinely loved doing.  It isn't for everyone, but it's a whole lot more than the sum of its parts - it's a community that you can't get if you just do an online course, and it's a fire under you that will force you both forward and upward.  If nothing else, it will force you to come to terms with whether this is a life you want or not.  It's hard, and you will be tested.  Bu...

    One of the best decisions I've made.

    I purposely came to Miami from New York to attend Wyncode, and it has been a wonderful experience. As someone with zero coding experience, Wyncode's 9-week intensive was ideal for me. Bootcamps which were 3+ months long didn't appeal to me, as I didn't want to invest too much time to begin with. Nine weeks was sufficient to dip my toes, get a great foundation, and gauge whether I enjoyed coding (which I totally do). The content, weekly one-on-one’s, implementation of student feedback...

    The Truth About My Wyncode Experience

    Am I happy with my decision to attend Wyncode?

    Absolutely. I would definitely do it all over again. I have learned to read and write code in several languages. And also to think like a developer. More importantly, I learned how to teach myself to learn new technologies and programming languages. This is so important because this is a daily part of being a programmer. You will constantly have to solve problems and figure things out on your own - so get u...

    Complete BS

    Did a advanced level part-time course with them that is no longer offered.

    Really didn't learn much of anythning... the instructor spent so much time debugging his code and offering vague explanations that we were all very lost. Some were stuggling with simply getting things to work, some struggled to get a deeper understanding of the material because instructor can't answer questions. 

    Also terrible in following up ... we were told we would get a video tutorial on the ...

    Perfectly lays the foundation for success

    I went to Wyncode with no previous coding experience at all to pursue a carrer change. The enthusiam, 24/7 support and encouragement was more than I ever expected. All the support and guidence needed is easily available. You get out of it as much as you put into it!  The TA's and instructors are incredible.

    Best Decision of My LIfe

    Why did I do it?

    Before Wyncode, I was working at a small investment consulting firm. I was close to graduating college and I was considering taking the Series 65 to become an investment advisor. I had always had an interest in coding and over the years I had done bits and pieces of a few codecademy courses, but never could put it together to actually build something. I knew I really liked coding and the satisfaction of building something cool, so I quit my job, ...
