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.
First of all, I think DevMountain is worth every penny. I've been lucky enough to go from making about $10/hr before the course to over $60k/year after. If you do the math, that means the course paid for itself in about 3 months (it was a tiny bit cheaper when I went). That alone speaks volumes about the value you're getting from DevMountain. But for me, it wasn't just about the money. I wanted a career that I could stay in for the rest of my working life, and DevMountain gave me the skill...

But for me, it wasn't just about the money. I wanted a career that I could stay in for the rest of my working life, and DevMountain gave me the skills to do that.
If you're considering attending DevMountain, you should know that this course is not easy. There were multiple occasions when I wanted to throw my laptop out the window from frustration. So if you're not sure that this is a field that you want to go into, you need to figure that out before applying. If you decide it is what you want to do though, I really don't think there's a better value out there.
The only reasons I wouldn't give DevMountain a perfect rating are pretty trivial, and you can really sense that they are things that are being improved, but I should list them here anyway. First, there were a couple of instructors that really didn't do it for the class I was in. After they finished, the lead instructor for DevMountain had to come back in and reteach a lot of the lesson. Unfortunately for DevMountain, it's hard to know exactly how the instructor will really do until they actually teach. However, DevMountain worked to improve these instructors, and when one in particular wasn't showing enough improvement, they decided not to invite them back. That shows me they really are trying to make the course as valuable as possible. My other minor complaints are regarding the curriculum. A few of the projects have pretty confusing instructions (which they were working to fix as I was attending), and not all of the curriculum is super relevant. Mostly what I'm talking about is MongoDB. It's kind of a paradox though, because teaching a SQL database would add time and cost to the program, so an object DB is probably the best solution, even though it's not exactly applicable in the industry. Other than that, all the technologies they teach are definitely marketable skills.
Most importantly, DevMountain taught me how to learn. At my current job, I'm actually not using very much of what I learned during the course (I'm using python and PostgreSQL instead of node.js and MongoDB), but it was easier to learn these new technologies because of my time at DevMountain. Overall, I'd recommend this school to anyone who knows that they want to go into web development.
