This rigorous program was the best decision I've ever made, hands down. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time, which would have never been possible just learning everything by myself. It's a commitment and you must devote every aspect of your life to, learning how to program and not just that, but how does everything work and why it works. Being at General Assembly I not only gained valuable skills like learning how to build an express backend, building full stack...
This rigorous program was the best decision I've ever made, hands down. I've learned so much in such a short amount of time, which would have never been possible just learning everything by myself. It's a commitment and you must devote every aspect of your life to, learning how to program and not just that, but how does everything work and why it works. Being at General Assembly I not only gained valuable skills like learning how to build an express backend, building full stack ruby applications, even the ins-and-outs of git just to name a few, but I gained an incredible community of like-minded individuals who I'm happy to call my friends as well. The toughest experience of my life, but I would not hesitate to do this all over again.
One thing I would recommend is that you sharpen your JS skills to a very refined point. This program moves FAST! So, make friends that will help you along the way of this tough as nails journey. One thing I do have to say that probably isn't too positive is that some of the instructors simply didn't really care, you'll have to weed those out and yea it will be apparent. I had two in my cohort, one didn't really care and the other was already on level 900000 when trying to explain certain things, basically wasn't too beginner friendly. The curriculum needs a little bit of work too, but don't be afraid to speak up and let the instructors know what is needed in aiding you with the learning process. For example, I fought for screencasts of certain lectures as well as others from my cohort and oh boy! did that help.
Oh and yea, I hardly had any programming experience beforehand, maybe only a few months of HTML, CSS, and JS...yup, the basics(all from free code camp). Also, no CS degree!! Currently, just graduated.
