I attended this bootcamp from April to October 2017, It was a great program, detailed lessons and a lot of practice. I loved the curriculum and the instructors were amazing. After graduationg, I felt like I could walk into interview and feel well equipped and had the necessary knowledge to land a job, which I ended up doing. I'm grateful for the team that was in charge of making this experience a wonderful and succesful one for me.

Looking to make a career change, I enrolled in the 24-week part-time program. The instructors actively worked in the industry, and were helpful explaining the concepts. The TA’s also helped field additional questions and directing us to additional resources. Be prepared to learn many new skills to help pursue your career goals.

      So, as I stated above, I had a very successful experience with Georgia Tech's program. I am a student that changed careers completely so my experience will differ from someone that is just looking to brush up. The instructor's support and the TA's support for my cohort was A+ 110%. But, don't let that fool you into thinking this is an "easy" course. The pace is pretty intense since it's an immersive course. It is technically a part-time course but I feel like I would have had a hard time juggling a job and all the work outside of class (that's not to say it can't be done, lots of students had jobs). The curriculum - I feel like there could have been a few things done differently like - I wish we had spent more time learning Javascript in ES6 and I wish we had spent more time on React or Angular to make a student starting from square one a little more marketable right out of school but I wouldn't let those small gripes turn you away from the course. I had a portfolio of work to show to employers by the end of the course and a good understanding of of the concepts taught.

     I will say, what you bring to the course is also very important. Try to learn as much about HTML/CSS/Javascript as you can before you begin. They do support you through this course but that doesn't mean they will hold your had and give you all the answers. 70% of this course is the instructor giving you resources and you teaching yourself how to code. The reason for this is because as a developer, you will be teaching yourself concepts and coding languages you don't know. All. The. Time. More than just teaching you to code, they are teaching you to teach yourself because that's literally what you'll end up doing every day at work. 

     In the end, after about three months of looking, I was able to gain employment with a legit company in Atlanta with the knowledge and experience I gained through this course and the time I spent learning on my own. The journey wasn't easy but all in all, very worth it. 

Tips for succeeding: 

    •    Prepare before you start. Codecademy, Treehouse, Lynda, Udemy - all good beginners resources.

    •    Give into the frustration and then let it go - everyone will be frustrated, lean on your fellow students and instructors for support. They're going through it with you.

    •    Practice on your own. All. The. Time. Not just the homework. Build something on your own that you can show employers. You don't want to end up with the same portfolio as everyone else who will be looking for a job at the same time you are.

New coders can quickly become advanced coders in this coding boot camp! The camp's curriculum is designed to help students overcome the stress of learning about the overwhelming number of coding languages, coding techniques, and complex terms used in the field of web development and computer programming. The coding boot camp shows students how to write code for popular web based applications like Google's Alexa and Apple's Siri, Twitter, Match.com, E-Bay and more! With these real-world coding projects, students can become intermediate to advanced coders with the in-demand skills and essential experience for which companies and recruiters are looking. The mandatory coding projects and portfolios required by the camp help students to show they are not just aware of concepts but they know how to build and secure scalable applications - meeting every challenge to be innovative in this competitive industry!

I Personally like the codeing BootCamp.

But its very stressfull sometimes if you have a family and things go by preety fast before you can master it.  As a former Game developer, 6 years ago i practice codeing C# and soon after i learn what i wanted to learn i drop it. Returing to a codeing bootcamp make you realize how much little you know. Which is a great thing because everyday you are constantly learning new things and i love it.

If your intrested in learning code and going to a Bootcamp please do two things first...

1. Learn as much as you can before the program start! And 2. know how to concentrate, focus, and retain infomation! Because this couse is on a deadline and its not waiting for you to catch up.

Take Care

Going through Georgia Tech Boot Camp has been one of the most empowering and liberating experiences of my life—academic, professional, or otherwise. My classmates, as diverse a group as any, are smart, capable, motivated, and most importantly generous—you’ll find no shortage of new friends eager to help you squash bugs when you (inevitably) run into them. As it is a part-time course, I still have the free time to continue my normal work routine and have plenty of free time to practice on all the new information I learn each week. I feel like I’ve fast-tracked my way into an elite professional network of ridiculously skilled developers. You will learn many of the latest and most in-demand web development technologies during the course of your 6 months with the warm and highly capable staff.

As a bonus to the standard curriculum of becoming a Full Stack web developer, you'll have full access to a well informed and friendly Career Services department. It's been a great experience learning how to transform my professional portfolio in a smart and educational manner.  

Deciding whether a Bootcamp is right for you is obviously an important choice—for one thing, they’re not cheap. But my final bit of wisdom is that you should pick your bootcamp (should you decide to attend one) based not on the technologies you’ll be learning, but instead on the quality of the instructors and extra curriculum included with the overall package.

This coure took me for almost no experience with web development to landing me a job two weeks before the course was over. I have since moved on to a better job at a larger company but I would not have been able to do this without the bootcamp. I came into the program with a little bit of self touch knowledge on HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of JavaScript. I had a little bit of knowledge but was unable to do anything with it. Upon completion of the course I was able to create fully functional web apps starting completly from scratch.
