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 RESULTS:
First week after DevMountain, I got 10 interviews and got 6 job offers
I ended up taking a job at Jane.com where I literally tripled my salary
I've build and deployed 3 full blown projects from end to back -- one of them (Mailpants.com a Mailchimp clone) has sent over 300,000 emails since I built it 3 months ago.<...

I've been a major contributor at my startup (did all front end work at Toastio.com, Untorch.com)
I wake up and do what I love each day
I continue to be contacted by recruiters each week (Domo and Amazon among others)
DEVMOUNTAIN:
Is DevMountain for everyone? Definetively not. If you are one of those people that expects the world to feed you with a golden spoon, you will hate DevMountain, and you probably hate your life too.
But, if you are willing to work hard, and if you find interest in computers (programming, html/css, etc.), I honestly, cannot think of a better place to launch your career.
MY STORY:
I started doing some html/css for my startup, and found that I really really liked it. So I want to a few Universities to see if I could get some formal education on computer science. All respectable Universities rejected me (partially because I already had an undergrad education -- B.S. in Business). And the few where it was available where bad Universities or Institutions where they also required me to take an additional 2 years of irrelevant courses before I could dive into CS. Not to mention that all formal education would require 2 - 4 years of my life and a considerable amount of money and sacrifices.
DevMountain, on the other hand, was (comparing it to a formal education) waaaay more affordable and only a three month program. Don't get me wrong, I had a conversation with my wife in which we decided to approach my DevMountain education as my "master's degree." While some students were leaving at 5pm every day, I was leaving at 2 am. While most people arrived at 9 am, I was already coding by 8 am. While some students did the work once, I did it 2 or 3 times. While some people took the weekend off, I was there all Saturday. I freaking loved what I was doing I was having dreams about code, and (sometimes) would wake up with some solutions to a problem I was facing.
Why do I mention that? You really get out of it what you put in. But there is no way I could have done it without DevMountain. I tried it for a few months before, and it sucked. The environment was just perfect for me: The instructors were great and super accessible (I still stay in touch with several of them). The mentors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They listened to my concerns and made some adjustments to make sure I was happy with my learning. The facility was legit.
P.S. I'm not saying getting a formal education is a bad thing. It just wasn't for me.
THE STACK:
DevMountain's focus on the MEAN stack is right on. MEAN is a great first stack -- strongly recommend it. I also recommend trying different things as you keep maturing as a programmer. You should never stop learning.
WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN?
Knowing the outcome of Devmountain, if you had to go back in time, would you take DevMountain again? That's an obvious yes.
CONCLUSION:
Is DevMountain a 5 star school? Based on my story and results, you tell me.
