Devmountain is a coding bootcamp that offers short, full-time in-person and online programs in Web Development, Software Quality Assurance (QA), Cybersecurity, and User Experience (UX) Design. The programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the tech industry. There is a Devmountain campus in Lehi, Utah for those who want to participate in-person. Devmountain's immersive courses require 40 hours of class per week, and 10-20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The part-time programs require 11 hours of class per week, and 10-20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The school was started in 2013 in Provo, Utah.
The Web Development track covers front-end and back-end engineering (JavaScript, HTML/CSS, AJAX, Axios, React, Bootstrap, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL). The User Experience course covers prototyping, visual/motion design, Figma, UX research, and wireframing. Devmountain instructors are all coding industry professionals and aim to bring real-world applications into the classroom.
Devmountain is beginner-friendly and no experience is necessary to apply. 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.
My experience at DevMountain was literally life changing and a highlight of my established career and education. Prior to enrolling, I attempted to learn the basics of web development from YouTube, Team Treehouse, friends and other various tutorials. While there is a wealth of quality self instruction available on the internet, it is only accessible if you are fluent enough in the the syntax of development to take advantage of it.

My experience at DevMountain was literally life changing and a highlight of my established career and education. Prior to enrolling, I attempted to learn the basics of web development from YouTube, Team Treehouse, friends and other various tutorials. While there is a wealth of quality self instruction available on the internet, it is only accessible if you are fluent enough in the the syntax of development to take advantage of it. I would follow a tutorial and then get stuck at a "basic" point. I never progressed or gained enough comprehension to have any degree of autonomy. I was sick of being frustrated and it was obvious I was only going to learn from an instructor, so I jumped on the chance to attend DevMountain's first Dallas cohort. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I came to the school with a clear expectation of leaving with the ability to build a fully functioning web application. Logins, security, external API's, permissions, testing, hosting... all of it. Not only did DevMountain meet my expectation but they beat it by consistently over delivering. Others have covered the curriculum basics, so I won't rehash that, but I do feel it is necessary to address some of the negative reviews I've seen here.
In DevMountain, as with life, you are going to get out what you put in. The students airing grievances about staff, curriculum, projects and job prospects were 100% down the line the same ones who NEVER ASKED A QUESTION IN THREE MONTHS. Unsurprisingly they were also the same ones bitching about accommodations, desks, coffee, elevators, etc. It was a theme I saw from day one all the way through the hiring luncheon.
The staff is not there to cater the entire program to a particular student's ability or attitude. Nor are they mind readers, channeling each student's inner thought for signs of comprehension. There are there to deliver quality instruction, answer questions and help students work through more complex problems. In three months, I never encountered an instance where DevMountain staff was unable to provide clear, actionable answers to my questions. If the did not know an answer immediately, they would research and loop back to you later in the day or keep pushing the question up the chain until someone could answer it properly.
Regarding the curriculum, yes there are times when something is unclear or slightly outdated. Guess what?!? That's exactly how it is when you enter the workforce. Get used to it. If all problems were solved, there wouldn't be a need for employees. I get the impression that some negative reviewers are long on opinion and short on real world experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend this school. While others left with piddling complaints, I left with a fully functioning web application my company now uses daily and a set of valuable skills that allow me to learn more and build more in the future. What more can you ask for?
