The Data Science Bootcamp was truly amazing. I was able to learn Python,MySQL and do Machine learning with zero exposure to the computer science field. Doing several projects with team has boosted my confidence has a young enthusiatic Data Science graduate.The instructors and TA's were brilliant and had great konwledge in the different subjects .Overall it was engaging classes with lot of new information .

This bootcamp course gave me a lot of IT knowledge base to continue in my career as a backend NodeJS. The course and learning curve were simple, well explained through each modules where touched extensively each development features out there, such as frontend and backend. Helped me a lot to defined the gaps and refine between frontend and server-side. Guided me to the right path without any complexity. I recommend this bootcamp for someone wants to start from fresh and become a fullstack developer.

This is hands down an incredible program full of inspirational people. I browsed around the internet for a web development program that was an in person experience when I came across this particular one. I think being in person and having opportunities for collaboration with your instructors/TA’s or even your classmates is such a huge benefit when it comes to diving into an area such as web development. This fit with my full time work schedule perfectly and although it was quite a challenge to juggle, the amount of support you’ll receive makes it very doable. They have a great career support program that helps you build yourself for employers throughout the program and post graduation. There’s also an alumni group that hosts monthly meetings for networking and learning opportunities. If you’re looking for a well-rounded program to get your foot (and all other body parts) in the door, this is it!!

Coming into this program, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was more than afraid of my ability to keep up, worried if the instructors would be pleasant, and if the program itself was going to be a good investment. My fears were unfounded. 

We had a great team of knowledgeable instructors who were able to explain complicated concepts in a way everyone could understand, they were also thoughtful enough to record each session so that we may go back and revisit the class once it was over. Every in-class exercise we had, the TAs would walk around to make sure each person had help as well so that no one was left behind. 

The classes were entertaining and fun, we had instructors who never took themselves too seriously and would offer a well timed pun or corny joke when the situation called for it. We knew we could come to them for help and felt supported at all times. 

Overall it was a great experience. We covered a wide breadth of topics, but in the end we became proficient enough for any junior or midlevel role. That said, it was still hard work. 

Everyone knows bootcamps are a harrowing experience by nature, but learning this much in such a short amount of time leaves you with the responsibility to gain clarity for yourself. You'll need to approach something like this not with the idea of passing the class, but with the idea of being your very best. If you spend 2 hours studying - try adding another hour. This will help you when it comes time to start interviewing,  when you have to manage your own projects, and when you need to rely on yourself outside the classroom environment. Regularly revisit the basics, even if you're at the end, and know that you're  never going to know everything, but be willing to keep learning long after the class is over. Having confidence in yourself is key. This program does not offer college credit, but it has a solid and quality curriculum and if you do what you're supposed to do, you will be prepared to start your career as a developer. 

Good Luck!

This program is diverse and flexible in their ability to help and guide you to become a full stack dev whether you come from a background in tech or are starting from nothing and looking to break into something new. The instructors are knowledgable and are able to handle specific use cases and apply them to real world scenarios and create a more forward understanding of the material. Enter this program and expect to leave with all the skills you need to build any app considered and then some.

The GT Full Stack Bootcamp is an excellent program that is fast-paced but offers a level of support that is unparalleled to any other academic experience I have ever had. I came from a non-tech background and knew VERY LITTLE about coding. After finishing the program, I felt like I could speak a whole new language. They teach you not only how to create full stack applications (frontend --> backend), but also about web development in the workplace. I will be forever grateful for the skills I learned in this Bootcamp and can't wait to continue in the technical field.

This was an amazing boot camp. It was great because it fit my schedule so I could still work and learn these valuable skills. I loved that everything was skills focused and not all theoretical. They go over different in-demand technologies that are used by working developers today and then teach you how to apply them in the real world using practical projects to help build up your portfolio. If you're looking to change careers and be a developer this is a great way to go. Just the connections that you make alone is worth it. The instructors and TA's are amazing and helpful and truly want you to succeed. Make relationships with your classmates and instructors. They'll push you and help you achieve success even when it's hard and you think you can't do it. I highly recommend this course. It was an amazing learning and growing experience for me. I hope it will be for you too when you take it!

I've spent the last few years as a stay-at-home-mom knowing I want to return to work and make a career change at the same time. I chose web development for various reasons and discovered it was possible to obtain training without obtaining a traditional degree.  Since I have zero prior technical experience I enrolled in a Udemy course and quickly discovered I didn't have enough context and would really benefit from a classroom setting.  That's when I found the GA Tech Bootcamp.  Knowing GA Tech's excellent reputation in the business community I knew their program would have high standards and be very rigorous.  In order to make a career change, I wanted and needed a program that would be credible.  

The curriculum is designed to be immersive and hands on.  It requires being pushed outside of comfortzones.  If you think drinking from a fire hose is rough, this is more like trying to drink from a broken fire hydrant.... With this program you get out what you put in.  If you ask for help, you get it.  The staff is top notch! The instructors are amazing.  Everyone, from staff to classmates were incredibly supportive and encouraging.  When I started I had no idea what 'Full Stack' meant. By the end of the program I had a portfolio full of amazing, full stack applications. Completing this course and attending graduation is an accomplishment I'm proud of.  This was more difficult than grad school but if I can learn this I can learn anything.  And...If I can do it.....anyone determined.... can too!

A little background about me before I came into the program.

I came in with a little experience coding in Matlab.

Pros:

- Most immediate benefit is a guided curriculum of the latest fundemental technologies.

- Holistic support from instructors, ta, and success manager including job preparation with iterative feedback that helped me get my first developer job.

- Group or "House" study groups, competitions for udemy courses as prizes, and learning collaborative git and agile practices working in a group.

- My instructors and TAs held additional extra topics sessions for other technologies not taught in the curriculum.

- Dedicated weekly 1-on-1 tutor and the ability to ask specific questions that may not be answered on stack overflow.

Cons:

- If you have any experience in web development, the first few weeks will feel slower.

- Too many todo list assignments, although admittedly it is the most efficient way of learning all the REST methods.

Overall, there is a lot to learn in the developer world, and having friends or classmates to struggle with, bounce ideas off of, and compete with to make the best group projects goes a long way. The Georgia Tech Fullstack Coding Bootcamp stands out from other bootcamps due to the staff. My instructors were very engaging and made class enjoyable to learn.

I don't know where I start. Everything that this bootcamp has taught me is that I can do this. The instructors are awesome. They are really inspiring, and helped me so much throughout the entire process.

With anything in life you get what you put in. So if the administation, instructors, and TA's are telling you all along you have to do x, y, z to put yourself out there, you have to put yourself out there. They do a great job making sure you have all the resources to develop your skills. I had so much going on in my personal life, and they value each student if you ask for the help.

Good course with practical curriculum, plenty of staff support, and lots of opportunities to go further if given the self-motivation. There's exposure to a lot of different technologies in a short amount of time so it can be curated to all experience levels. After taking the course - coming back as a teacher's assistant has been a fulfilling experience and helped reinforce the knowledge from a different perspective.

Instructors are knowledgeable, open, and commited. Curriculum is good, offers ample room for self motivation and going beyond just the basics. tons of exposure to different technologies

As someone who couldn't afford to leave a full-time position to attend school, this program was convenient, affordable, well-organized, and enjoyable from beginning to end. All of my instructors, TAs, and even program directors were knowledgable, accessible, and super involved with student progress. This course is both fun and challenging! Your classmates become your friends and cheerleaders! Working in teams is common in this class and really helps to build valuable skills that can only come from actually doing the work, guys. I highly recommend this program if you're looking for a new career, improving your existing skill set, or are just wanting to learn how to code for fun!

The Coding Bootcamp at Georgia Tech was a great experience. The instructors were passionate about teaching the curriculum, and the TAs were helpful when I got stuck. One of the best parts about the bootcamp is the hands-on learning. It allowed us to make mistakes and learn from them. The program was a chance for me to acquire new skills and hone any existing ones. In addition, I understood the emphasis on teamwork, as web developers often collaborate. You get what you put in, so put the time and effort to practice what you learned in the classroom.

Georgia Techs Web Development Coding Bootcamp exceeded my expectations for multiple reasons. First and foremost was the quality of the instructional team and the curriculum. I found the instructors to be knowledgable, effective communicators invested in student success. Every week I had multiple positive interactions with members of the instructional team. The curriculum is relevant and the time I invested in this course has given me a wide range of skills in the field of web development. Some of you might ask why should I take this course over simply teaching myself through online resources?  The answer is simple. Team work is essential if you wish to make this your profession. Georgia Techs Full Stack program gives students the opportunity to collaborate together and you simply will not find this opportunity if you are only focused on individual learning. Next, the collective experience of the instructional team is invaluable. If you are motivated to learn you will get value out of this course.  The curriculum will push you in ways you would probably not push yourself, the instructors will challenge you, the TA's will guide you, and your fellow students will work with you. Career Services is excellent do not forget to take advantage of this. Lastly, you get out what you put in. Put in the time and effort, believe in yourself, and you won't be disappointed.

I was really pleased with the curriculum while attending this boot camp. This program is perfect for a novice in Web Development to learn the skills required to be a good developer. I was impressed by the quality of education provided by this bootcamp, kudos to the instructors and TAs ! I wish that the pace can be reduced to allow students more time to master a topic before moving to another but I understand the nature of bootcamps, they are supposed to be rigorous for a short period of time. I also wished that more group projects were available in the curriculum to improve the student experience because a group project showcase a student's ability to collaborate with others and that is an important skill to have in software development. I was a little disappointed in classroom participation but not surprised given the large number of students. I liked the idea of rewards for a correct answer to boost participation, it should be done more often (dividing the students in four factions competing for rewards could be great, maybe inspired by Hogwarts houses in H.P.). The career services is good but sometimes there is a time conflict with class sessions. Overall,  I'm happy to have chosen this program as a first step into Web Development.

This Bootcamp was wonderful and was everything that I was looking for in a Bootcamp.  Speaking as someone attending the course with little to no prior coding experience I was very, very pleased with the everything.  The Instructors were highly knowledgeable they and the TAs were all a great group of people.  They were all displayed a real passion for the subject matter and were all very approachable and willing to to help out.  I learned more in a short period of time than I would have thought possible.  The only drawback to the course was the job assistance simply because at times the schedule for those events conflicted with class times, making it hard to keep up with the course material and the career services material.

I completed the part-time online Coding Booth Camp. Our primary stack was MongoDB, Express, React, and Node (MERN). We learned several other languages/libraries in support/additon to those previously mentioned. Yes the class was challenging, fast paced and frustrating at times and I throughly enjoyed it. The bootcamp is very up front about learning being your responsibility but with that said there is a lot of support to help you succeed.  My instructor was kind and helpful. The TA's (teaching assistance) provided great encouragement and direction. The student success manager (SSM) went out of her way to listen to me vent and provide helpful resources. My class-mates (cohort) were (still are) good people and were more than willing to assist when possible. As our class progressed the structure/layout of information and assistance improved. Also included in the course I could sign up for a one hour weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions with a seperate tutor. This I found extremely helpful. The only overall con is that there is no guarantee of a job but there is career coaching that continues after graduation.

I enrolled in the data science and analytics program. Overall, I had a great experience. My instructor, Devang, was really good. He was always willing to spend time with students, whether it be going over difficult concepts or talking about neuroscience and AI. He's very approachable, and doesn't make you feel less of a student if you ask "dumb" questions. The course itself is very fast: one minute you're learning Python, then it's SQL then Python then Front End then Machine Learning. I wish there was more time dedicated to Machine Learning, specifically Neural Networks. However, the class gave me a SOLID foundation where I now don't feel intimidated in trying to learn a new library or language or package, or any other tool. The biggest thing I got from this class is the CONFIDENCE to pick up a new tool and run with it. In terms of time spent, even though it's a part time course I basically treated it as a full time commitment. There is so much learning beyond the homeworks and activities for you to do. 

The area that can be better is the job assistance. One thing I've seen in other boot camps is guest speakers from companies or alumni talking about their path and roles; Once the data science program solidifies, GT should absolutely invite past alumni who have data science/analytics roles to speak IN CLASS about their experience, commitment, outside learning, i.e. what they did to get that new role. As the student, the onus is really on you to get that new position but it would certainly help to know the expectations that come along, and the time commitment required. I've also seen other bootcamps with a job checklist, where the student reports on a weekly basis a schedule of jobs applied for and feedback received. More networking opportunities during the course would also be great! The demo day was really the only opportunity GT provided for networking, and we were mixed in with the other non data science cohorts. Most of the employers that attended were looking for web devs so that was a bit of a bummer. You are allowed to attend other demo days, but only as a networking student. In my cohort, a few of us got jobs right before or soon after graduation. Although I'm now a TA for said course, in the end I do feel confident I will get a job.

I took the full-time full-stack web development cohort in Fall of 2018, taught by Jacob Lamont and two wonderful TAs, Connor and Cody. I walked in with some knowledge of how HTML worked, and that was pretty much it. I walked away with a confirmation in knowing that I wanted to pursue programming, specifically in data analytics, which was something I was originally interested in before taking this bootcamp. I am now taking a few online GT class in data analytics and the lessons I learned in this bootcamp is invaluable to what I am learning now.

Sure, I won't be able to directly apply the web development skill that I acquired in the new direction that I am taking in data analytics, but I learned many programming skills and how to be in the mindset of being a programmer. Jacob stressed many times that it's not knowing and utilizing one specific language but being to able to apply the baseline programming knowledge in order to carry out the task in any given language that you would need to use. I skipped a few Python and R prereqs to take the classes I am taking now, but the base that Jacob helped me establish has been a lifesaver. You will learn this lesson and many others in the bootcamps offered.

The biggest plus to this bootcamp was obviously the instructor and the TAs. The instructors are hugely knowledgeable and experienced in what they teach. You will gain three (or four, if you use their tutoring system) hard working and passionate coders who take your learning very seriously. If you are stuck on an issue, they will stay and risk missing their bus (!) and help you out. They are incredibly accomodating people as well.

I would recommend anyone who are interested in learning how to develop websites with a full-stack mentality to take this course. To be honest, I would recommend it if you weren't even looking to be in the field. I took so much away without even interested in the field.

 As a business owner, i looked for ways to add value to my business and provide better services to my customers. I wanted to better understand my customers and leverage data to make informed decisions. GA tech data science gave me the tools to do so and more, it exceeded my expectations.  I was very nervous at the beginning as i had no programming experience, OMG! I cannot believe I made it successfully! This is why I give this bootcamp a 5 stars review:

 The curriculum is RICH and relevant to the data science industry yet very challenging. Challenging is an understatement for someone with no prior experience in the field. But the instructional staff, the TA's and the support system around the students are always available to help. My favorite part of the program was working in teams for projects with other students. Students are from so many different industries and background, that working together made me discover different approaches to tackle projects, solve problems and put in practice what i learned. I will definitely miss the projects. Everything was not perfect as we had challenges with scheduling and changes in the course content at times which was frustrating. Overall the staff handled these issues well and i  definitely recommend Georgia Tech Data Science and Analytics Boot Camp. Just make sure you can put in the work and the time if you want to join, also seek help when you need it.

6 months ago I found myself lurking this website for opinions of prior students that found success in this course. I wanted to know, what you want to know, and that is simply.. is it worth the time and money. As a new graduate (Feb.2019) of GA Tech Coding Bootcamp, I can assure you its worth it! 

I came into the program with prior coding experience, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery (basics). This helped me for sure, but you're not required to have any prior experience coding to be successful. I sat alongside students that had never coded before, and they are now capable of building full stack web applications.

The curriculum is well thought out, very detailed and challenging. We covered the MERN stack, which is MongoDB, Express, React, and nodeJS. We also covered HTML, CSS, Javascript, Jquery, SQL, Heroku, GIT and much much more.

You get out what you put in, while the staff does a phenomenal job introducing you to various coding topics. You will have to dedicate time to study and complete homework/projects to get as much out of this course as possible. They stressed networking with classmates to form study groups and lean on each other to be successful. I've met some really incredible people during my time at the boot camp.

The staff at the Ga Tech Coding Bootcamp are really amazing people. They are patient, kind, engaging, and always willing to help you with anything! From the instructors to the TA's everyone there is incredibly supportive. Career services are optional,  I encourage anyone attending to opt in. They offer assistance with resume building, social media sites such as LinkedIn, and interview sessions. They also offer post-graduation support.

TLDR; I just graduated the GA TECH CODING BOOTCAMP. I had the most amazing time learning to code. I met some really amazing people while I was there! I can build some really cool full stack websites/web applications. I came back to the same site, I initially started my search to tell you to GO FOR IT!

I moved from Haiti to the U.S. in 2015. In Haiti, I worked as a computer technician, and I always had an interest in technology. My natural knack for languages combined with my interest in tech lead me to programming. I started taking some courses on Free Code Camp to grow my programming skills. But, I soon realized that if I wanted to find a job as a software engineer in a new country, I needed to formalize my skills and experience.

I saw an ad about the GA Tech Coding Bootcamp, and I was immediately interested because of GA Tech’s outstanding reputation. Getting a Full Stack Flex Web Development Certificate from GA Tech ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was able to secure an internship, which led to my first job, and now I work as a full-time software engineer for a major company in Atlanta, GA.

The program exceeded my expectations. The instructors and TAs were excellent and very invested in my success. The program focuses on all the core coding languages, including the MERN Stack. We completed a total of three projects that became part of my portfolio of work examples. I really appreciated the in-person learning environment. And, students who are struggling can receive a tutor. I’ve seen students completely turn around and make huge progress with the help of a tutor.

This is a program where you have every opportunity to succeed. It truly requires an investment on the part of the student to put in the work, but you have an excellent support system along the way.
