DevCodeCamp offers various full-time and part-time, live online coding bootcamps that meet prospective students where they're at in their career. devCodeCamp offers a 12-week Software Development Bootcamp Full Time, a 24-week Software Development Bootcamp Flex Self-Paced, and a 24-week Data Analytics Bootcamp Flex Self-Paced. Bootcamp students are taught how to think like software engineers, working on real-world projects in a collaborative environment. The devCodeCamp instructional team brings knowledge and passion as well as patience and empathy. The curriculum for each bootcamp is designed with the demands of the market at the forefront, yet their core philosophy is to teach software concepts transferable to any programming language.
No experience is required to apply to the bootcamps, but applicants must be problem-solvers who are willing to learn and have a desire to be challenged.
DevCodeCamp students will receive career services while enrolled in the program. Students will learn how to create a resume, cultivate their LinkedIn presence, navigage their job search, and prepare for job interviews.
I was concerned about attending devCodeCamp prior to my enrollment. It's a lot of money for a 14 week course. You definitely can't do it while employed, as you are there 8am to 7pm, Mon - Fri. And it's definitely scary not knowing if you'll be able to find relevant work after you complete the course. After doing my research, and speaking with the instructors and staff, many of my fears were put to rest, but that didn't mean they were unfounded. Overall, I would say I had a positive ex...
I was concerned about attending devCodeCamp prior to my enrollment. It's a lot of money for a 14 week course. You definitely can't do it while employed, as you are there 8am to 7pm, Mon - Fri. And it's definitely scary not knowing if you'll be able to find relevant work after you complete the course. After doing my research, and speaking with the instructors and staff, many of my fears were put to rest, but that didn't mean they were unfounded. Overall, I would say I had a positive experience, however, there are caveats to that.
The curriculum is broken down over 14 weeks into parts. These parts are constantly in flux dependant on the changes in the Milwaukee tech market. devCodeCamp (dCC) works with their network of "Hiring Partners" to determine which skills are most important in the area at any given time. These skills are what make up the core of the dCC curriculum. What is being taught today, may not be taught in the next class, or it may not be taught the same way. I had the somewhat unique perspective of experiencing this in action, as I watched 6 classes run to completion, none of which were taught quite the same. Why 6 classes? We'll get to that later...
What you learn may change from class to class, the general methodology does not. The core essence of what would normally make up a BA in Computer Science is distilled down into just the information relevant to your future career. You'll learn about a semesters worth of information each week, and have labs and projects to build using what you learn. Tests are almost non-existant, as the results of your labors are in what you create. I've tried programming on my own before, and honestly I learned more in the first 2 weeks here than I learned in 2 years on my own. The instructors really know their stuff, and are very personable to be around. It's not a typical educational environment, and they like it that way. The only downside here is if your fellow students are not "All In" on the program, or are otherwise phoning it in, it can cause the entire group's experience to suffer.
So, you've decided to sign up. Complete the course, and get a job with one of those sweet "Hiring Partners" that you'll likely have heard so much about. Yeah, about that...remember when I said I watched 6 classes go by...
I graduated in August 2016. I recently was hired at a company that is not a "Hiring Partner" (though to be fair, dCC did have a contact within the company) in March 2017. I won't say I'm a prime example, I have seen many people get jobs with 1-2 months of graduation. This is the only part of the course I have an issue with, and it's not entirely their fault, but they do use it as a selling point to students. The "Hiring Partners" are a group of ~20 companies that have regularly done some hiring from within dCC. They like dCC grads, and they are happy to look at more dCC grads. The problem is: They aren't necessarilly hiring. Many of them have filled their positions with previous grads. So, you're going to be looking at non-hiring partner companies for open positions. Know what that means? Same thing it means for everyone else in the world: Indeed.com. dCC does try to help with the job search process. The main issue is: They aren't just helping YOU. They are helping every other grad that hasn't found a job yet. So to get any assistance from them, you will be pestering them a lot. There may be times that you will want to go out and do your own search, which you are free to do, but they will want to give you guidelines for job search etiquette. The real issue is what happens at the interviews with the non-hiring partners. HR interviews are standard across the board. Tech interviews, however, are usually done by another developer, and they tend to ask questions about your programming background. Many times, they've never heard of dCC, and you will end up having to basically sell them dCC. 20 year veteran developer with 2 degrees, don't be surprised when you get scoffed out of the interview because you ONLY have 14 weeks of programming experience. This has happened to me more than once. Overall, I am happy with my end result in the Job Assistance, but it is the one point in the course that I believe needs the most improvement.
TL;DR: Coursework is great, you will learn a lot in a relatively short period of time, from a great group of instructors, but be prepared to bring your own work search skills.
