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.

I'm someone who learns very independently, so I very seriously considered learning iOS development on my own by using free/cheap resources online. But in the end I decided that no matter how quick a learner someone is, or how much of a self starter, everyone needs a road map.

I'm someone who learns very independently, so I very seriously considered learning iOS development on my own by using free/cheap resources online. But in the end I decided that no matter how quick a learner someone is, or how much of a self starter, everyone needs a road map. It's hard to chart your own course when you don't really know the destination. So I signed up for the immersive iOS development course at DevMountain in SLC, worked my tail off, and got a great job afterward. The current lead instructor is probably the smartest person I know, and even if the curriculum were crummy and disorganized, I would pay all over again just to have the opportunity to pick his brain. With that said, the curriculum is not crummy. In fact, the curriculum is pretty freaking awesome, and just keeps gettin better. Without the shackles of government funding, DevMountain can make changes at the drop of a hat to make sure students are getting the most out of their experience. Overall, they do an awesome job.
I just need to caveat that while DevMountain is awesome, you aren't going to get an awesome job if you don't put in the time and effort. Do the precourse work. Do it a second time if you didn't understand it all that much. Do it a third time if you need. Then go take the course, and treat it like it's the only thing in your life that matters while it lasts. Don't goof off. Take a good lunch break, but also maybe take part of your lunch break to work on projects and get ahead or make sure you really, really understand what was covered in the morning. Finish every project independently at some point. If you have to get help the first time through, that's fine. But then do it again. And then do it again without any of the instructions. Get to the point where you can make all of these projects completely on your own and then you can build on them to and combine different topics and make even cooler things. If you don't do that and you come away from DevMountain struggling to find a job, that's on you. And DevMountain can't really help you get a job if you haven't put forth the effort needed to be marketable.
Summary: My DevMountain experience was awesome. I essentially got paid back for tuition almost immediately after graduation because my new job paid enough that it just instantly made up for a few months of not working and dipping into savings, and now the investment will just be paying off more and more for as long as I stay in this field, which is likely forever.
