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.
This course, or "cohort" as they called it, was riddled with inexperience, lack of preparation, and apathy.
More often than not my class would arrive early ready and hungry to learn. The instructor would show up 15 - 30 minutes late and start looking for what today's lesson was. It was not uncommon at all for the instructor to just adlib his way through the material. Material that he didn't know we would be covering that day until he walked into class.

This course, or "cohort" as they called it, was riddled with inexperience, lack of preparation, and apathy.
More often than not my class would arrive early ready and hungry to learn. The instructor would show up 15 - 30 minutes late and start looking for what today's lesson was. It was not uncommon at all for the instructor to just adlib his way through the material. Material that he didn't know we would be covering that day until he walked into class. Instructors would make several mistakes, fumbling around until their code worked.
What makes all of that worse was none of the instructors cared. It's quite obvious that at one time the provo location was a good thing and people felt prepared to continue in a programming career path after completing it, but those instructors and that curriculum is long gone. In fact, if you look at the instructors they have listed as teaching their cohorts on their website, you are being lied to. None of those instructors work for the school anymore, all that is left is assignments they wrote and study sheets they created gone over by someone that doesn't quite understand what the original author was trying to help the students learn. It really makes me sad.
DevMountain employees what they call 'Mentors'. These are former graduates that attend the classes and are (in theory) there to assist the instructor and help the students with questions, problems, or just give ideas when they get stuck trying to write some difficult code. This also was NOT the case. The mentors would sit in the back working on their own projects and seemed genuinely annoyed if we wanted help. This caused a few students in my class to reconsider early on and leave the camp with a partial refund.
Their classes used to wrap up with a final-project show and tell night of sorts where all the students were excited to show the project they had built during the last 4 weeks if the camp, as well as see others' projects. Students learned from what others had done and were able to improve their own work as a result. Unfortunately this too has become a shell of what it was. The organizers take all the shortcuts they can so the night feels like a quickly organized intramural meeting where no one really has an idea what the program is. But hey they brought food right?!
After leaving this school I really wish I had gone somewhere else. There are a few opportunities just like DevMountain in the Provo area and I feel like I would have learned a LOT more attending another camp. I would strongly recommend exploring other options if you are considering attending a programming boot camp. You CAN learn a lot from other sources, I am not going to stoop to the level of endorsing any of them in this review, but I have attended another camp since DevMountain and it was exponentially better.
