Tl;dr. Go here. You'll learn everything you need to know to get an entry-level developer job.
After many years working in a job I disliked and in an industry where I felt like a fish out of water, I decided to make a change. Through my work I had been exposed to scripting and had put tentative fingers into the javascript mountain, but it wasn't until Code Fellows came along that I felt like I could really change my career.

After many years working in a job I disliked and in an industry where I felt like a fish out of water, I decided to make a change. Through my work I had been exposed to scripting and had put tentative fingers into the javascript mountain, but it wasn't until Code Fellows came along that I felt like I could really change my career.
I started out in the foundations classes. They were nice, and in retrospect fairly easy. Then I moved on to the Full Stack Javascript Engineering development accelerator. This was an 8 week intensive program. I lived javascript for those 8 weeks. Full days of learning how to code turned into nights working on homework. We had two group projects to get us working in teams. Our class paired with the UX/UI dev accelerator class to work on one of those projects. It gave a very good look at the dev process from beginning to end. The only thing missing was a project manager, but we worked that out.
You'll start by learning node. Then you'll learn whatever the hot backend frameworks of the day are. For my group it was Backbone and Angular. I understand that they've since switched to Angular and React. You'll do relatively easy things in the class setting and work on harder things during your projects.
Staff and instructors were great. The process of finding a job afterward was supplemented by the staff sending out places that they know are looking. I had at least one interview set up because CF sent my resume to a company. You'll have to do the majority of the job search on your own, but there is help available if you need it on your resume or practicing for interviews.
The only complaint I had about the whole thing was that I didn't find out I was accepted into the accelerator until the week before it started. A bit more advanced notice to get the financing squared away would have been nice. Also, their financing options at the time I went through weren't great, and the program is definitely not cheap.
