Full-Stack Software Development - DigitalCrafts Bootcamp
I would recommend DigitalCrafts to anyone that is committed to transitioning into full-stack software development. During the 17-week full-time program I experienced tremendous growth and was able to build much greater things than I expected. On the 17th week I was accepted into an internship and it's because of this bootcamp. During the full-time bootcamp it is up to you and how hard you are willing to apply yourself during this time.

During the 17-week full-time program I experienced tremendous growth and was able to build much greater things than I expected. On the 17th week I was accepted into an internship and it's because of this bootcamp. During the full-time bootcamp it is up to you and how hard you are willing to apply yourself during this time. If you need to recharge, recharge. However, if you have free time, commit it to learning new technologies or improving existing skills. As I write this, I am now familiarizing myself with an entirely new codebase and beginning work with 40 other developers. The curriculum keeps you moving and lays an important foundation for new developers. Also, I would recommend Veronica as an instructor. If you're willing to work hard and you aren't just trying to "get by" - this bootcamp will be great for you. - Cody SwitzerGraduateVerified by LinkedInJun 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

DigitalCrafts was an amazing find. It's become a monumental pivoting point in my life especially going through a career change. I couldn't have imagined a better guiding hand. Not only do I know what I need to know to be in IT; I know how to get there, how to stay progressing in success, and I have the connections and support to do so. Thank you guys for everything!

I attended the full time web development bootcamp online for four months starting in July of 2022, and have since then got my first job in software development / web development with the experience and knowledge I attained from attending Digital Crafts. There is no doubt in my mind that without the leg up I attained from a curriculum in web development as well as my fantastic instructor Veronica, that I would not have been able to land my first job in the field. Despite the fantastic experience I had with DC, there is a few things I would like to make any prospective boot camp students aware of before paying the price of admission.
1. You get out what you put into it.
If you are thinking that you will be able to coast through this course like a college or highschool course, get a certificate, then get a web development job, you may, but you probably won't. More than anything else the experience and skills you gain from attending all the classes, getting a grasp on all the material offered, and being able to demonstrate your aptitude is what's going to get you a job. Having a credential/ certificate is nice, but with no experience you have to have the knowledge and projects to back you up when going on interviews.
2. It's possible to go into this with no prior coding experience and succeed, but you really should not!
Going into any boot camp you will hear and read "No prior knowledge of coding necessary!". This is true, but this is not what I did, and I believe going in with a basic understanding of OOP helped me learn more and learn faster than my classmates who were completely fresh to every single topic. It's not impossible to catch up, but during your time attending DC you will have to run twice as fast to learn half as much, and as I said earlier, the more you can perform the better off you will be when you finish. I would highly recommend going through some basic programming material for a couple months before making the commitment, it will help a ton in my estimation.
3. Job assistance...
As you may have read from other reviews there is not guarantee that DC will do anything to get you a job after graduation. Despite some saying they do nothing, I think that is bogus, as there are networking opportunities, seminars, and the door is always open with staff members who work in career services who will give you specific detailed advice and guidance on what you need to do and how you need to do it to get your first job. It is also true that there's a good chance you can be hired as a TA ( teachers assistant ) by DC after you completed the course which will give you the experience you need to go somewhere else. It's not the best Job assistance in the world, as they will not hold your hand to your next position they picked out for you, but DC will give you what you need to move in the right direction.
4. I've heard some things...
During my time at DC I have heard some things that I would be remiss not to disclose here. I heard from one of my classmates who knew somebody that was taking the same course with a different instructor in part-time web development that there was a lot of funny business going on. It seemed that the quality of the classes/ assistance from the instructor was lackluster and something I definitely would not be happy about had I experienced myself. That being said this is word of mouth, I don't really know, but I would highly recommend if you want to attend, you do the full-time any way as I think it is a much better structure to begin with.
5. The Curriculum itself.
The curriculum itself is pretty good. It covers full-stack web development pretty deeply for the amount of time you actually spend learning and practicing material. That being said, In hindsight I wish the course had a larger focus in back-end web development with a server side language. No matter what part of web development you strive with, you may need to allocate serious time keep learning more languages/frameworks after the fact to fill in some missing skills from your resume before you get your first position.
That is pretty much all I have to report about the bootcamp. If I could go back in time I would chose to attend this bootcamp every single time. The people that I met there were all absolutely fantastic, and the fact that it accomplished for me what it was supposed to accomplish means I really have nothing to complain about. Despite that, I believe that coding bootcamps are not for everyone, and you really have to consider what you are capable of before you sign up and pay for any bootcamp.Jake H of DigitalCrafts

In fact, I would go so far as to say that it was one of the worst educational experiences I have ever had. Here are some of the reasons why I would not recommend this bootcamp to anyone.Firstly, the course was not worth the money that I paid for it. The instructors were just alumni of the same bootcamp who had limited real-world experience as developers, although they were very nice and supportive. Instructors and TA felt more like tutors instead. This was a significant disadvantage as I felt I could have learned more from a comprehensive Udemy course. Many days were just spent watching YouTube tutorials and discussing basic concepts, which is something that can be done for free. Secondly, the curriculum was designed for everyone to pass, so there was no pressure to push myself or strive for excellence. There were no graded assignments or homeworks, which meant that I could not get feedback from the instructors on my progress. All I needed to graduate was to complete one full-stack project at the end of the course, prepare a resume and a portfolio.Thirdly, there was little to no job assistance, which is one of the main reasons people choose to attend a coding bootcamp in the first place. Despite the promises made during the enrollment process, I did not receive any help finding a job in the industry after I graduated. I felt like I was left to fend for myself.Additionally, much of the material covered in the bootcamp was available for free online. So, it was frustrating to realize that I wasted $10,000 on this bootcamp that I could have used to purchase a comprehensive Udemy course for a fraction of the cost.Finally, the bootcamp sent me their certificate of completion with the wrong graduation year. This careless mistake highlighted their unprofessionalism and lack of attention to detail. Frankly, I do not believe that this certification would hold any weight in the job market.In conclusion, I would strongly advise anyone looking to learn coding to stay away from this bootcamp. The program is not worth the money, instructors have limited real-world experience, and the curriculum is designed to cater to the lowest common denominator. I hope that this review will help someone else avoid making the same mistake I did.Jake H of DigitalCrafts

Student success was also very thorough and helpful when it came to preparing for interviews, getting your portfolio/online presence up to speed, and all things in between.
Before committing to DC, I scoured Course Report (and the rest of the net) in order find the perfect program for me. Ultimately, I'm very glad that I chose to attend DC and have not looked back! There's no BS when it comes to their approach to alternative software development education. They don't guarantee a job, instead they prepare you for the market with realistic expectations and give you all the tools you need in order to apply and interview well. Also, their Student Success team regularly posts opportunities in Slack and you have them at your disposal for life after graduating.
Also, the instructors were all fantastic! I had Dre as the lead and Dez as my TA and they were rockstars. Veronica subbed for a few days while Dre was out and she was great as well! Lastly, everyone on staff always seemed happy and supported by the higher ups at DC and that trickles down to the students.
I highly suggest checking them out for yourself! Contact a recruiter and ask more questions. Complete their intro course to get an idea of what their style is like. I'm confident that you'll enjoy the program as much as I did! - VioletGraduate • DigitalCrafts Online Full Stack Immersive (Full-Time) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I selected to attend DigitalCrafts because they were a top bootcamp that included Python in their curriculum. DigitalCrafts also provides small scholarships to women and minorities, which I qualified for and was helpful with the tuition. Overall, I had a great experience, and after graduation was hired on as a TA, which I really enjoy! The only feedback I have is that it seems most people that apply are accepted into the program. I think there should be a higher standard for admissions, but, I also think this happens with bootcamps in general. 5-Stars! - Veronica T.Verified by LinkedInAug 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I would highly recommend DC especially if you want to learn react and redux (in demand job skills currently). I have no complaints, but I think if you are like me and enjoy smaller class sizes and are considering DC, it's important to ask how many students they cap at. Mine was 10 students and apparently there was a smaller cohort before me as well, so it seems like it really varies on how many people are applying and are accepted in. - CiaraSoftware Engineer • GraduateVerified by GitHubMay 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

One of the things that I loved about DigitalCrafts was the fact that my instructor, Joe, and the student success team encouraged students to start applying to jobs about half way through the bootcamp in order to get a head start. They were all very supportive of helping you with your resume, portfolio, online presence, and any questions you had. The career services portion at DigitalCrafts was amazing. I graduated from DigitalCrafts on Wednesday and I am starting a full time position as a software engineer on Monday.
As far as the curriculum, I felt that it was fast paced, but definitely doable if you are focused. Coming in with no knowledge of web development, I can say that I now feel confident building and learning to build websites in new languages. I can tell that DigitalCrafts focused on teaching us the most relevant technologies and made a great effort to stay up to date with the industry.
My instructor, Joe, was so helpful when my classmates and I didn't understand something and he encouraged us to keep asking questions. Joe would take the time to help you understand further and encouraged us that if we didn't understand right away, that it would come with time. This helped my mindset a lot as I was completing the bootcamp. You can tell that the people at DigitalCrafts actually care!!

I highly recommend doing your homework and understanding what you are getting into, as any bootcamp experience is a large undertaking. That being said, I am so happy I decided to go with DC. A few things that set this program apart for me included it being a 16 week program (as opposed to 10-12 weeks for other comparable bootcamps), the robust curriculum, career support, and stellar reviews.
My instructor, Veronica, was hands down AMAZING. I'm so happy to have known and worked with her. Veronica knows her craft very well, and that shines through all she does during instruction. She understands the learning process, makes a commitment to presenting information in a variety of formats, and scaffolds instruction appropriately based on student needs. Veronica not only teaches you the how, she makes a point to explain the WHY behind the concepts. This is important because this seemingly small difference in instruction makes a difference when it comes time for you to learn on your own. If you expect any bootcamp experience to teach you all you need to know about programming, you need to take a step back and reconsider what you are signing up for. No program is going to be able to teach you everything you need to know, and if they claim that, please just walk away. Software development is an ever-growing and changing field, and part of your role in that field is to be adaptable. It is easier to do that if you know the right questions to ask and have a wealth of background knowledge to draw from. That is the experience you can hope to gain with DC and Veronica's instruction.
Aside from day-to-day instruction, you will also find strong career support and a community of developers in DC's network. To say I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people I found willing to help me along on my journey is an understatement. I've felt supported from day one. All of the employees at DC really truly care about your success and growth.
All of this to say, take some time to make your decision. Understand what you are signing up for. Ask questions. Review the curriculum. Make sure you're in a good spot financially to make the best of this experience. I am 100% happy that I chose DC, and I would highly recommend this program to others, but please make sure you're making the right decision for you.
