Devschool is closed
This school is now closed. Although Devschool is no longer accepting students or running its program, you can still see historical information and Devschool alumni reviews on the school page.
Devschool is an online coding bootcamp, designed to turn students into full time professional web developers through one-on-one expert mentorship, group pairing sessions, and a built-in internship program.
Throughout the course of the program, students will work 20-40 hours per week depending on their schedule, which is flexible. Students have access to their Instructor all week via chat and will also work on pair programming exercises to share knowledge with other students. Each teacher has a minimum of 10 years instruction and will take no more then 12 students at a time.
Job assistance is an important part of the program, and the school places graduates with NGO partners that are seeking developers. Their partner network includes non-profit companies, NGOs and featured partner NewStory.
The school accepts students based on work ethic and culture match. Interested students should submit the application form online. The interview process is several online chats, one with a founder, one with a student, and one with your future Instructor.
I think Jim is a good instructor, he definetly knows what he is doing. I do agree with what the guy below me said. You will learn real world coding, and Jim will try to teach you real computer science and how it applies to real projects. If you are used to the old way of teaching which is sit in a classroom, read a lecture, and take the test, this is not for you, but if you are an open learner, and like to learn by trying and making mistakes then this is for you. Its my 4th week so far and...

If you are used to the old way of teaching which is sit in a classroom, read a lecture, and take the test, this is not for you, but if you are an open learner, and like to learn by trying and making mistakes then this is for you. Its my 4th week so far and I feel I have had my moneys worth, even though I cannot say I have made that leap yet from script kiddie to a real programmer, I do know understand how building projects in Rails work and how MVC comes together in an application. It's good too if you have been exposed to html, css, jquery, javascript, some ruby and the rails framework because Jim will sharpen what you know and make you forget other bad practices you learned from other programmers that do not have as much as experience. If you are a self started and you are okay working on your own without someone holding your hand after one-on-one sessions and group sessions this is the course for you. If not go dump 14k and 3 months of work in some other program where some script kiddie like yourself will teach you.
I was doing research on this bootcamp when I came across a student that was threatened by doxxing from the lead instructor. This is absolutely beyond insane. How could you treat your students like this just because you are irritated? You've just lost a chunk of appeal from many prospective students.
"I left some negative reviews about Devschool , and I don't know what lies he said to the websites and they just removed my comments. No wonder why the...

"I left some negative reviews about Devschool , and I don't know what lies he said to the websites and they just removed my comments. No wonder why there is so many good comments. He even send me email threaten me and told me he gonna post my personal information and my photos online, he also said he gonna try to prevent me from getting a job. All those happened just because I left negative reviews. That's really horrible. Stay away from this person."
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the darkside of coding bootcamps. This is why for every negative review, there are a bunch of individuals too scared to open out about this experience. This is incredibly unacceptable. Be wary of such personalities on instructors before applying to this program.
