Devmountain is a coding bootcamp that offers short, full-time in-person and online programs designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the tech industry. There are Devmountain campuses in Lehi, Utah and Dallas, Texas. Devmountain also provides fully furnished housing, internet, and utilities included in the tuition for the full-time program, on a first-come-first-serve basis. Students share rooms or pay extra for a private room.
Devmountain teaches Web Development, Java Software Engineering, Python Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Software Quality Assurance (QA), iOS App Development, and User Experience (UX) Design. The Web track covers front-end and back-end JavaScript (HTML/CSS, jQuery, AngularJS, Node.js, Express, data sources like SQL, Mongo, Firebase). The iOS track covers mobile development in Swift. The UI/UX course covers prototyping, visual/motion design, sketch, adobe suite, UX research, wireframing, and analytical tools. Devmountain instructors are all coding industry professionals and aim to bring real-world applications into the classroom. The immersive courses require 40 to 60 hours of pre-course work, 40 hours of class per week, and 10 to 20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The part-time programs require 30 to 40 hours of pre-course work, 11 hours of class per week, and 10 to 20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The school was started in 2013 in Provo, Utah.
The first step to applying for Devmountain bootcamp is to check out the courses and start dates. Once the student has picked a course, they must submit an online application. Next, students speak with a member of the admissions team by phone to further discuss the program. After the phone call, students must complete a challenge to ensure the program is a good fit. Finally, the admissions team will notify students if they qualify for acceptance. Devmountain is beginner-friendly and no experience is necessary, but the school recommends that students take their Coding Basics course before enrolling.
THE GOOD:
• My instructors and the staff at DevMountain were easy to get along with and talk to. I really appreciate them!
• I learned a handful of skills and tools for the trade.
• I got to listen to and participate in presentations and QandA sessions with quality guest speakers.
• The downtown Salt Lake City Campus is close to public transportation and there are monthly-paid-use parking lots nearby.
• DevMountain regularly provides tasty (mostly un...
THE GOOD:
• My instructors and the staff at DevMountain were easy to get along with and talk to. I really appreciate them!
• I learned a handful of skills and tools for the trade.
• I got to listen to and participate in presentations and QandA sessions with quality guest speakers.
• The downtown Salt Lake City Campus is close to public transportation and there are monthly-paid-use parking lots nearby.
• DevMountain regularly provides tasty (mostly unhealthy) snacks and soda (always available). It's also close to a lot of quality eat out locations.
• I'm now working as an intern and finding opportunities to work on side projects with seasoned designers/researchers (no pay).
• I'm optimistic that I will land a paying job as I continue to build on my experience and portfolio (but this could take up to a year).
• DevMountain offers and after hours course so that you don't have to quit your day job while you gain the experience you need to get hired.
THE BAD:
• I have been out of the program for 2 months and I still don't have a paying job. All of my peers are in the same position (two of them received offers but the offers were ultimately reversed).
• I love everyone I worked with but some personalities made projects harder to complete.
• Nothing I designed was ever produced in the real world... This is not good for a portfolio. It would be ideal for students to work with student developers to produce an actual product.
• DevMountain students have been presented with the same problems to solve cohort after cohort. This doesn't look good to employers who see DevMountain student applications.
• I was told that this course would qualify me to become a Junior UX designer (they typically make 35-60 thousand a year)... I've applied for these positions and I get rejected immediately, not even an interview.
THE INDIFFERENT:
• This program seems to be the most beneficial to students who already have a college degree and/or for students with STRONGLY related experience.
• We received help creating our portfolios on Medium. It would have been better to learn how to create one with a personal domain.
• The guidance we received on creating resume's and Linkedin profiles was rushed and seemed mostly geared to developers. Since finishing the program I have had to revise these heavily.
• To get a job in this industry you have to be a fairly good people person, you probably won't land a job by applying on job boards. You have to make personal connections.
• I feel like I didn't have enough time to practice things that were taught. The program is very rushed. Learning about things without having enough time to practice them isn't the best UX.
I sincerely hope that this review benefits prospective UXers and the team at DevMountain, and (like Bilbo) I bid you all a very fond farewell (until we meet again).
