Greetings,
I have recently graduated from the iOS dev accelerator at Code Fellows (Seattle). The course was awesome, demanding, and inspiring. There is absolutely NO WAY I could have or would have learned all that on my own in 8 weeks or even likely in 6 months. I am switching careers from biotech and had spent the past 2 years attending university part time. I was told about Code Fellows and bootcamps in general and after interviewing both grads and developers in the industry who had not attended a boot camp I decided that getting a certificate like this and spend the next 2 years in the industry would be a much better education compared to just attending classes at university and earning a second bachelor's degree.
Fast forward to the Dev Accelerator (DA). I would recommend spending minimum 6 months on the stack you are thinking about taking before you jump in. I was woefully underprepared but I figure at $5 per question I got my tuitions worth from the instructor over the 8 weeks. He was patient, very knowledgable, probably 10 years my junior ;) but I honestly cant say enough good about him (Go Brad!), To be successful in the DA, really have nothing else going on during this time in your life, be passionate about coding and learning, dont sweat the small stuff, and work your tail off. Dont quit, just drink more caffine!
There was a good amount of job search guidance in the program but they dont give you a job, just like everything else in the course you need to earn it. You do the work, they provide support, guidance, and some leads. If you are looking for rescuing from your current dead end job (like I was) you will need to break out of your own shell and put yourself out there.
Would I do it all over again? After preparing more, you bet I would!
