I can say whole-heartedly that this program should be avoided - save yourself the money! I attended the camp in Seattle earlier this year and was horribly dissapointed with the experience! Here's the rundown:

I can say whole-heartedly that this program should be avoided - save yourself the money! I attended the camp in Seattle earlier this year and was horribly dissapointed with the experience! Here's the rundown:
* Lessons are mostly self-taught through videos with the majority being done by the companies founder. While I don't doubt that he knows the technical stuff I do not belive he has any background in instruction and that shows in his videos. They are low production, single take videos that are more confusing to watch than anything else and he is often incosistant with his terminology and grammar which creates added confusion later.
* If you know nothing about web developement you will get lost FAST! Several people in my group came in with a complete blank slate and fell behind so quickly it wasn't even funny; with 1 or 2 dropping out after the first 1.5 months. They fly through the basics and fundimentals.
* They attempt to accomplish TOO MUCH! That is how they justify their high price tag - they advertize that you learn a tremendous amount of stuff in the 3 months you are there; namely three full-stacks. The issue is they go through it all too quickly and never teach you anything usefull. I spent the most time on the LAMP stack and had no issues with the related assignments and belt test to that stack. Try and look for jobs with those skills and you quickly realize you know next to nothing. They show you where the "on" switch is with these technologies but don't teach you anything useful with them. In fact, at the time I took the class, you leave having built nothing useful to use on a portfolio - they don't even include a course on MAKING a portfolio.
* Most of the instructors are former students. So again, their ability to actually function as teachers is sub par at best. I had about a years worth of experience when I started this program and during the lessons about HTML and CSS (which they only spent less than a week on) the instructor had no idea what HTML5 tags were and asked me to stop using them on assignments/group work cuz it was confusing!
* There is NO job placement at all. They had a bulletin board in the building they said we should utalize but in the three months I was there only one job as added and they were all for jobs that required multiple years of experience and were beyond what was being taught in the program. They don't email you at all with job opportunities, they have no one working at the site with any connections to hiring managers or recruiting offices - you leave the program and you are on your own.
* The issue of struggle/no-hand-holding: Here's the deal, everything worth having takes work. But the way the program markets itself as being super difficult where you have to struggle and invest the time if you want to be successfull, in my opinion, is a kind of an excuse to cover their butts. I was there everyday during the week from 8am to 5 or 6pm and did all the course work. But for 12k I expect WAY more from the instructors - as in I expected them to care about my progress. Instead you drop a ton of money and you get stickers...
