I attended the Full-Stack Web Development Immersive at Galvanize-Boulder, and graduated in mid-January. Prior to Galvanize, I'd spent 4-5 months self-studying with some basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript via online resources. The onboarding process for my g32 cohort was smooth; we received the pre-course work (about 40 hours' worth) about a month in advance of our August 1 start date.

I attended the Full-Stack Web Development Immersive at Galvanize-Boulder, and graduated in mid-January. Prior to Galvanize, I'd spent 4-5 months self-studying with some basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript via online resources. The onboarding process for my g32 cohort was smooth; we received the pre-course work (about 40 hours' worth) about a month in advance of our August 1 start date.
The pace for the program is fast; a lot of material is covered in lectures and assignments, and even the fastest students in my cohort sometimes struggled to keep up. The upside of this is that we covered an impressive amount of subject matter in a (relatively) short 6 months. I found the second and third quarters most challenging, as I had not had much prior experience with Node.js, data bases, and the back end. I loved the end-of-quarter projects; especially working on small teams to create full-scale applications with tools that we had just learned (like Angular.js). I worked hard in this program and put in a lot of hours; at least an additional 20 hours per week, aside from the 40 hours in class.
Our instruction was top-notch; my cohort was particularly fortunate, as we had one lead instructor, one associate instructor, and two residents for 15 students. Our lead instructor had 17 years of experience as a developer and many years as CTO of different startups. His fluency with the material was important, as the associate instructor and residents were more recent graduates of Galvanize cohorts.
The main piece of constructive criticism I have is with the curriculum, which had some flaws and gaps (in particular the Angular curriculum). These were being corrected during our program, and I imagine they are now not an issue. We were always encouraged to explore outside resources, which makes sense, as material changes and more becomes available at a rapid rate.
I feel extremely fortunate to have accepted a job as an associate software developer within a week of graduating from the program. I now work for a Boulder startup, on a two-person development team, with our CTO. Our stack is relatively new to me, but I feel that Galvanize prepared me extremely well to be able to learn and implement new technologies quickly. The program was extremely challenging, but I feel that it was absolutely worth it.
