The Web Development Immersive at General Assembly SF was a life-changing experience for me, and really what I needed to make my dream become a reality.

The Web Development Immersive at General Assembly SF was a life-changing experience for me, and really what I needed to make my dream become a reality. To begin with, the space is beautiful and conducive to creativity. The instructors and other staff were always extremely kind and helpful. The curriculum was in-depth, expansive, and pragmatic. We covered core material through the full-stack and also gained valuable knowledge in the interview process, data-structures/algorithms, teamwork, documentation, etc. GA's positive atmosphere attracts great students that I am most glad I had the chance to work with.
I think the WDI at GA was such a good fit for me because of the preparation I had done before looking into it. I had already been teaching myself the fundamentals of programming and front-end web development beforehand. The course moves fast; the prior knowledge made it manageable for me to pick up new things quickly, debug on my own, and taught me where to look when I got stuck. Also before GA, I was meeting with people in the field to build a strong network I could reach out to when I finally did have the necessary skills. Through this, I was able to get interviews right after graduation from GA and was hired in a software developer position within a few weeks. However, without our WDI lessons on interviewing, using new libraries, and take-home coding challenges ---- I doubt I would have performed well!
If you are looking into bootcamps, I would highly suggest GA. But, I think (pretty much for all bootcamps) you should definitely take a lot of time teaching yourself first; there's lots of free online resources (I'd recommend Udacity courses). For a beginner, I'd say before applying to GA ---- a consistent 20hrs a week of learning on your own for 3-4 months can do wonders for your experience. During that time you can also read up on the field, go to lots of meetups, and grab coffee with people in jobs you're interested in. Regardless though, GA has strong curriculum, amazing instructors, and a dedicated outcomes (jobs) team. If you are just beginning to code, you will still have lots of assistance with the lessons and career development throughout the course. However, the more prepared you are coming in ---- the more exponentially your skills can grow, and the faster you can achieve your dream.
